Did you miss Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, or Part 4?
Our honeymoon was absolutely amazing, and I can’t wait to go on another trip like that! Sandals was a beautiful resort that I’d recommend to anyone!
One of our favorite food items that we sampled while on our trip were what are called Jamaican Patties. They ranged in size from small (which they had at the resort), to HUGE (at the rest stop we went to on the way from the airport). When we got our last plate of them, Adam made a point to make them look pretty and lay them out and said “You’re going to blog this. They’re too good!” What are they? Well, this is what they look like:
The ones with the pink dots were chicken, and the others were beef. They’re a flaky pastry crust filled with a spicy meat and vegetable filling that was reminiscent of empanadas or even a fried pierogi. The pattie is a true product of local food (the filling) combined with an English turnover that migrated with the settlers in the 1500s. We absolutely loved these, and I really hope that we can find a local restaurant that serves them! It would be far too dangerous to figure out how to make them!
To round out my series of Honeymoon recaps, I’m just going to post some of my favorite photos from the week… I’ll be back to food and cooking posts this weekend!
Happy almost Friday all! Don’t forget to enter the Progresso Souper You giveaway! You just have to leave a comment!

So gorgeous!!
Jamaican patties….. sounds illegal….
Love the patties! Did you know that you are supposed to eat them with your hands and not utensils? I was laughed at the very first time I had them three years ago when I was using a fork and knife but now I know better ha ha
Love that last picture of the two of you!

What an amazing trip you guys had! Makes me want to go back to Jamaica! We went there for our honeymoon too.
I LOVE Jamaican patties! I’ve seen them in the grocery stores here, I bet you could find them in the ethnic section of yours as well.

Such an amazing honeymoon!!! I’m soooo, so happy that you guys finally made it there. I was seriously telling everyone I know to cross their fingers for you since I was so worried about you having more weather delays! Glad you had a blast, you deserve it Mara!
such amazing pics from your honeymoon Mara! im sure you guys had a splendid time after the whole mix up with the airports! you both look SO HAPPY in your pictures, too cute!
those jamaican patties are ridiculously good – here in Toronto, there are a number of stores that sell them- im sure you can find the same in Chicago…they come fresh or frozen!
Mara, you had such a beautiful honeymoon in Jamaica. Sounds like the sun, sand, food, and most importantly company were awesome. I can’t believe how sunburnt you got that one day. Ouch! And climbing the waterfall sounds like fun – I got to do that in Ecuador, but it was much…less safe. We were staying with a family in the jungle, and we were climbing steep rock faces in shoes and swimsuits. No harness, nothing. Totally sketchy, but fun!
