I am a Type II diabetic and I have managed my diabetes for about 21 years. I lost my father, mother, and 1 sister to disease. I am always looking for recipes and cooking tips to help me step towards a healthier lifestyle. It has not been an easy road for me, I have not always been the "Good Diabetic" but I will say that I am better informed then my parents; because they did not have the information available to properly take care of themselves .

I love cooking with fresh ingredients. I like taking family recipes and remaking them for a healthier lifestyle. I consider myself as a "Neo-Soul" cook, this means to me cooking from the soul a fusion/melting pot of flavors and cuisines : Asian ( I love Thai favors the best), Italian, Mexican, Jamaican, and down home Soul Food dishes. I come from a family of very good cooks. My grandmother, mother, aunts and uncles who have come before me who practiced and perfected there love for cooking, I offer my gratitude for showing me the true love of preparing meals that nourish the soul as well as the stomach.
