Emerald Birthday Gemstones
It’s my favorite month of the year! May is my birthday month and this year I’m definitely celebrating all month long. I’m making up for last year’s secluded celebration. I definitely enjoyed myself last year but I wanted to go over the top this year because that’s my business (in my Tabitha Brown voice). ThisContinue reading “Emerald Birthday Gemstones”
Sock-it-to-Me Cake
I don’t know about you, but this has been a rough week for me. The continual display of senseless harassment and killings of my brothers and sisters has placed another gray cloud over this Spring. The saying goes, “April showers bring May flowers.” Well I think our people have definitely waited long enough to receiveContinue reading “Sock-it-to-Me Cake”

That says a lot for someone who went to medical school and completed a residency program as well. ItContinue reading “Illuminating Lemon Cheesecake Bars”
Snowflake Apple Pie Pops
Happy Thanksgiving!! I hope that your day is mapped out already with delicious foods from the comfort of your own home. As mentioned in my previous post, apples and Fall are synonymous to me.

Apple Cider Donut Bread Pudding with Salted Caramel Glaze
Apples, Apples, Apples! This glorious fruit has always been a big part of Fall to me. As a child growing up in Sacramento, it was a yearly tradition to take a trek to Apple Hill every Autumn. Apple Hill is this amazing once secluded place about an hour outside the capital city that is filledContinue reading “Apple Cider Donut Bread Pudding with Salted Caramel Glaze”
Sweet Potato Scones
Sweet potatoes have been a staple in my heritage and family celebrations for years. Why not conquer a traditional treat and add a little more soul and pizzaz.
