About Me

My photo
Creativity would best define me whether it be in the form of food, hair, writing, or self development. Although each of these is quite different they are all interconnected. I use them all as a way of escape, self awareness, and empowerment. I feel as though if I can make a difference in at least one person’s life I’m happy. These three things afford me the opportunity to make a difference.

Whole Wheat Couscous

Taken from the concept of rice pudding I made this dessert using whole wheat couscous, honey, pinch sugar, raisins, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and almond Breeze. Taste really good.

Homemade Artichoke Hummus

This artichoke hummus on red rice sesame rounds with a pinch of cayenne pepper is simply divine. Nothing in the world worst than boring food. I love it when it makes me smile upon contact.

Vegetable Tamales

I've always wanted to make my own tamales so since I have some time off I decided why not?  Tamales are made with corn meal (masa), water, evoo, sauteed veggies, and Mexican seasoning.  Masa is normally made with lard shortening, and chicken brought.  I substituted with water, extra virgin olive oil and spices.   Would have been delicious with sour cream and salsa, but not this time. A little time and preparation cans turn any meal into a veggie meal. Especially if yo can't get use to eating the same dull boring food.

Homemade Barley Soup


This is the first time I made Barley soup. It actually taste like the one I had at Stockton College about 8 years ago.  Some taste you just never forget.  Half of bag of barley, regular mushrooms, portabella mushrooms, carrots, onions, parsley, and a little sum sum to make it extra special. Not bad for a first time I must say.
