Today I woke up for the first day of my last semester as a college student; a bittersweet moment indeed.

It was a perfect meal for a cold rainy winter day.

This recipe was inspired by a reader who emailed me a recipe that he created for a seafood curry that was served over roasted pumpkin. Of course I can never leave anything alone so I revised his recipe to make this Creamy Pumpkin Curry. The whole family loved this savory fall soup and I hope your family does as well!

Alright all you goal setters out there. Are you ready? Goal setting is great, I’m a big fan of the idea but I’m not a big fan of setting goals only at the New Year. I hate to be a party pooper, but statistically folks who decide to turn over a new leaf starting January 1 are usually setting themselves up for failure. [Read more...]
Podcast Announcement, Facebook, and a recipe…

Winter Soup
Happy Friday Dear Friends!! Some of you might have noticed that soon I will be posting podcasts. I received a few comments in which folks expressed their concerns that I might only be posting my blog content via podcasts which is not the case at all!! My reasoning for the podcasts is as follows: each week I receive hundreds of emails and comments via my web page and my facebook page.
