Kale and Quinoa Veggie Bowl with Soft Boiled Egg
To so many of you, thank you for your prayers for my mom and your kind and encouraging words regarding the blog. There was a time when I didn’t understand what a “blog” was, or why one would write one. But aside from the wealth of information people share through blogs, whether the subject appeals to a wide audience or is tailored to a more unique niche, it’s not only amazing, but also beautiful the way they allow people all over the states and even world, to identify with one another…

Quinoa and Veggie Stuffed Eggplant
I’ve always been a bit intimidated by eggplant. There’s really no reason for this intimidation, it’s just there. My first experience with it was years ago when my sister Jana was nine months pregnant and ready for my little niece to make her appearance.
