Preheat oven to 350⁰ Place silicone baking muffin liners in 12 muffin pan, spray lightly with nonstick spray, this will make for a much easier clean up later. Ingredients 9 large eggs2 tbsp finely chopped onion,... Continue Reading →
Silence is Complicity #SpeakUp
This Tuesday night on #DeadlineWhitehouse, Eddie S. Glaude, Jr. was a guest. His answer about the topic of the rhetoric of violent threats struck me. I am still thinking about it. “Nicole, we’re not gonna ever change. Until we hold the people we love accountable….People who know better, eat dinner with folk, they love them... Continue Reading →

LB’s Chile Crisp #ChileCrisp
I was given a batch of peppers from a friend’s garden that were too hot for their family. After a bit of research, we found that they were Baron Poblano peppers. So, I deseeded them and dehydrated them. I should have taken a picture of the French canning jar I stored them in, the colors... Continue Reading →
Vote Because Your Life Depends On It #VoteBlue
I voted early, even hand delivered my ballot so I could get my "I Voted" sticker. I had one from the 2020 Election, which was the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment granting American women the right to vote. What about you? Have you voted? #Vote #VoteToSaveDemocracy #VotingMatters

Fall Vegetable Salad #PuttanescaFlavors
I found a recipe for an interesting salad recently, but I didn’t want it to have so many garbanzo beans. Wasn’t feeling it this weekend. So, I did the next best thing and changed a few ingredients, smaller portions of other ingredients and added marcona almonds for a bit of added protein. Better yet, the... Continue Reading →
I Am a Busy Bee #KitchenFun
I have writers block, so instead of forcing myself to write something, here are a few pictures of what I have been doing thanks to my garden harvest and farmers market finds!

Nothing To See Here, Move Along
Fast paced and furious, the news has increasingly become a torrential downpour. Even though some may say we need the rain, we sure don’t need the flooding. Social media tends to spread nothing more than ridiculous claims that are clearly not true. Let’s take the polls. 74% of Americans state the country is on the... Continue Reading →
