i had to bring a covered dish to a family reunion and i knew there would already be tons of macaroni, & potato salad and baked beans. i wanted to bring something different and remembered this recipe that i came across after returning from a vacation to barbados. i loved the macaroni pie there and wanted to try making it but haven't have the opportunity to, so i figured this was the perfect time to try it out. i made a double batch and almost all of it went. everyone that was somewhat adventurous enjoyed it very much. a couple of people that don't like peppers or are afraid to try new things weren't so impressed but everyone else loved it. i will definitely make it again. the only think i did different was add red pepper instead of green because that is what i already had.

I'm originally from Trinidad but live in Jamaica. I love to cook and find it a great relaxation from my high-pressure job. I don't like baking that much because I find it a bit too temperamental for my taste - except for bread. I love to bake bread (all that pulling and punching...very therapeutic)and Christmas is not Christmas without my homemade bread on the table. My ultimate dream is to open a bed & breakfast inn and have family and friends drop by just to taste my latest creation. In fact, if I won the lottery tomorrow, I would quit my job and just cook.
