Asian Inspired Ladies Night
When my friends and I get together its typically a night filled with chitter chatter, giggles, wine, and food! Instead of going out to restaurants we enjoy creating more of a “themed night” in which we decide what are the foodies of choice and what it might be inspired by. This particular night we decided…
Coconut Curry Tofu
I am a firm believer of home cooked meals for my family. Honesty eating take out is unhealthy and doesn’t align well with our budget. Despite always cooking and being in the kitchen, I hadn’t done so as much as would have liked in 2015. My 2nd daughter was born 10/19/14. During maternity leave and…

Remember my post, Hail to the Kale!? Welp, I am still doing so. I use Kale in many different ways because of the it’s unsurpassed health benefits. It has now become our go to sidekick or side dish when we need to add greens to our entree. The great thing about it is that my 5 year old…

Q for Quinoa, S for Sweet Potato
Nom, nom! These two paired together make a happy couple! Packed in fiber, whole grain, and beta carotene… How could one go wrong?! Sooo this was on tonight’s menu in my flat… With a little additions. I truly believe it is a mind thing when people say they must have meat on the menu. If…
Whole Tilapia: Baked & Broiled
Tonight’s dinner was a winner. I bought frozen whole tilapia and defrosted it. After cleaning I cut 3 large cuts into the fish and rubbed seasoning all over. I stuffed each with chopped tomatoes, shallots, garlic cloves, salt, pepper, and spice. The tilapia soaked in apple cider vinegar from Pikliz (Haitian style cole slaw; made…

Childhood obesity continues to be a major topic in today’s society. I myself try to ensure I’m mindful and explain health and wellness to my daughter even though she is only 2!
