It has most certainly been a while since I have posted to this blog. Given the fact that I lost two people very dear to me in 2020, my mother to COVID in April, and my son was shot the day before my birthday in December, I haven’t truly been in a sharing kind of mood. Back […]
Having bariatric surgery limited my amount of food choices. While I could eat many things, I found that I could not eat many of the culinary options I’d grown accustomed to, which lead me on a journey. I had to find new selections that would allow me to enjoy my foods, but were diverse enough […]
I know the pain of being a special needs child parent, particularly for those whose child appears normal by most. You don’t want your child viewed by others as peculiar.

I made this today, experimenting, and it came out awesome, so I thought I’d post it. Is it hot chocolate or cocoa? All I know is that it’s good. Sorry, no pictures yet, I just wanted to get it down. I will update the post with pictures the next time I make it. I’m sure […]
