"Millennials Can't Cook": Does it Even Mattter?

I believe food IQ and kitchen skills can help you to get to the feeling of home wherever you are. By learning how to make a few dishes well, you save time, save money, and engage in self care that puts you on a different emotional plane. We are bosses at takeout…there is a journey left uncharted in the kitchen.

Meal Prep VS. Meal Plan: There's a Difference

You run your life, don’t let it run you. Whether you are eating on the go, eating out, going to a party, or having a quiet night at home, you have options. Meal prepping can be just lunch, just dinner, just breakfast, just snacks…you get the idea. Perhaps you don’t want to plan your whole day and have that guilty wasteful feeling when it’s sushi day at work. This way you don’t have to! Meal prep is your way to freedom.

Black History Month Food Facts: Greens

Collard Greens are bosses for Fiber

Fiber moves everything through and keeps you regular. Think of fiber as the doorman in a club who is pushing in the quality men and pushing out the trash dudes…but for your colon. Fiber helps your digestive system work properly, and eating collards tastes way better than a shake.
