Not only do I love concocting my own creations in the kitchen, I love to make my own beauty products. There are too many weird ingredients out there that I don’t want in my body or on my body. So here’s a super simple recipe you can give you to yourself or that special person … Continue reading
waffles!
It’s not often I enjoy a real breakfast. Don’t get me wrong- I have something EVERY morning but it’s usually a loaded soy-free protein shake. Vega for instance.

But by far one of the tastiest and very local producers I lean on is Artisana. Fine producer of raw nut butter, coconut butter and oil. They were awesome … Continue reading
don’t forget the black eyed peas!
Fun fact #1- In the South, we eat black eyed peas every New Years Day for good luck. Combine them with collard greens, which represent money, and you’ll be set all year long! Fun fact #2- During the Civil War, the town of Vicksburg, VA, ran out of food while under attack. Apparently, the residents … Continue reading
