YES!!! YOU HEARD THAT RIGHT! I know you haven’t heard from me for a while on here (since 12/31/2022 to be exact) and there is a good reason for that! I have been working on developing my first ever sustainable MERCH and it just dropped! Right now, today at 9am ET, the official limited …
I haven’t written on here in a long time and it’s for good reason – this year hasn’t been like any other – in good and bad ways! What would life be, if not for ups and downs, right? But I couldn’t let another year go by without my annual “X things I accomplished in …
There is nothing stopping me, people! But before I go on about my latest sustainable recipe, I have a disclaimer – please do a small test before eating any fruit or vegetable peels that may not ‘normally’ be consumed. Many folks can easily eat the flesh of the mango, but can be allergic to the …
YOU READ THAT RIGHT! I have my very own newspaper column ‘Ecokitchen‘ for none other than The Washington Post!!!

I know this may come as a MASSIVE shock to you all, but I am lazy. I am basically a human version of the sloth (by the way, I love sloths and they’re highly underrated. But that’s for another time). I am a late riser, lover of sweat pants, and binge show watching gal. But …
Every year – at the end of a year and start of a new year – I make it a point to outline all of my accomplishments. This is in no way meant to be a brag, rub in someones face or show-off about. This is about taking a moment to think back on every …
Y’all are stuck with a boat load of Thanksgiving leftovers right? I for one am not, because we’re not really into Thanksgiving and I am personally not a massive fan of Thanksgiving food. But, we were invited to a Thanksgiving get together this year, so I decided to be social and attend. To my pleasant …
You read that right. I was on two of the largest American daytime TV shows in the span of three weeks cooking up a storm of recipes from my debut cookbook The Modern Tiffin! I was on The Kelly Clarkson Show on Monday October 25th and the TODAY Show on Thursday November 18th. And in …
