This Baby Was Born Still in the Amniotic Fluid. Find out more here...

Born and Don't Even Know It
I just had to post this picture and article. Some things I can't pass up. This is such an amazing and beautiful thing to see. The baby is born and doesn't even know it. Who hasn't said they would love to see or wondered how the baby looks inside the amniotic sac. This might be the best we can get to life on the inside of the womb before birth. The baby was delivered by C-section.

The original article is in Greek and the picture was snapped by the delivering doctor.

Homemade Eggplant Lasagna Recipe {Tasty Tuesday}

Meatless Monday Meals
Trying to eat less meat and get healthier? This Eggplant Lasagna is just the recipe you are looking for. On my journey to a healthier life and a more organic plant based way of eating. I became a Vegetarian and that's when the search for tasty meatless meals began. I read recipe and nutrition book after book and tirelessly researched online. It was so intimidating to revamp my whole way of eating. 

Eggplant 
I thought of Eggplant Parmesan and how much I like that. I replaced the ground meat with eggplant in this recipe and prepared it as I would any other lasagna.This recipe is so easy and truly compares to some of the best lasagna I ever tasted. You have all of the taste with less calories.

Cancer Scares Me
As a woman we are complex human beings. We are women because of a lot of things, one of the many things that sets us apart from men is our anatomy. To think that you are at risk of cancer is one of the scariest things. I recently had a cervical cancer scare and the option of surgery was suggested to me more than once.

Fish with Spicy Tomato Sauce topped with Garlic Spinach Recipe

Fish So Delish
This fish dish was oh so delish. Most of the things I cook are inspired by my parents and the food they cooked in my home from childhood. From the smoked fish and palm oil to the salmon and grits. 

My recipes are usually some variation of dishes I grew up eating. I love seafood, but sometimes I feel like it can be a little boring. This is my very own version of fish and hot sauce.



Food Conscious
I have always been a pretty healthy eater. I've just become more conscious of what it is that I am actually eating over the years. 

I'm aware of the preservatives and the alkalinity of foods. I've even been studying the genealogy of vegetables and fruits.


The Spice of Life

I take the dishes inspired by my parents and make them with a healthy spin or kick to them. 

My background is Liberian and the food is full of flavor and spices. I LOVE Spicy food, so you will notice that most of my recipes will include a hot pepper of some sort. Of course, you cook it how you want it to be.

How To Get Supple Soft Summery Sugar Skin

Brown Sugar Baby

Winter may have come and gone, but its drying effects are still lingering upon your skin. There is nothing more distressing than showing a little skin only to find it is still flaky from winter's last breath. If you want to shed your snake-like skin and show off your softer side, a do it yourself body scrub is what you need.

Spa Treatment from your kitchen

There's no need to feel guilty about going to the spa for a treatment, or to purchase a pricey scrub from the beauty counter. Everything you need for an easy spa-like treatment can probably already be found in your kitchen. If not, a quick trip and a couple bucks at your local grocery store will have you on your way to the smooth skin you desire.
