My boo is wiser beyond his years, he’s almost a bit of an enigma. Sitting here with his popcorn and his feet crossed, enjoying the moment.Yes I realize he’s super young, but sometimes I feel he got some wisdom of someone with an old soul. He see’s into things that others normally wouldn’t. Life took…
Red Carrot Jam
Red carrot jam is a very old traditional Egyptian jam. I grew up on it. My Grandma used to make it and my mom used to make it. I would eagerly wait for the time of year where they would be available. Red Carrots are not so easily found these days. Red carrots are sold…
Therapy in Red Carrots
It’s almost the end of the crazy weekend. It’s early Friday morning and I’m tired and exhausted from the crazy week that just passed. I say a quick prayer of gratitude that nothing’s changed. Crazy is good, means life is normal and we are healthy enough to deal with it. So thanks to big man…

Holy Moly Colorful Cake
I’m surrounded by cakes. Literally. I feel if anymore of them pop out of the oven I wont be able to move. And I am starving, and all I can think of is how good a pizza would taste right now, but thankfully I brought carrot sticks and my diet soda for lunch. Then in…
