Variety in the Pantry My father used to be a chef so he knows how to cook for a crowd. Every time he cooks we have leftovers for what seems like weeks.

Although my personality is not fully molded, I actively search for novel and fulfilling experiences relating to music, food, and travel.…

As my dad says, nobody knows what tomorrow holds so spend time with the people who love you and the people you love.…

For some this is classified as working too hard which goes the same with cooking.…
“Today, I’m doing just that,” cooking great homecooked meals. People ask me, who taught you how to cook like this? I say to them, well, let me explain my story. I was 8 years old when my parents needed a larger place, the pastor of our church said to them, my cousin is renting side b of her house in which she lived, and the rest the rest was history.
