Dad’s Stuffed Peppers
Recipes
My dad is honestly the most genius chef. I always credit him by explaining to friends that he used to take a leftover mexican dish and turn it into an even more incredible chinese or indian dish the next day! I was barely a teen and recognized how necessary it was for me to pay close attention to what and how he created in the kitchen. As a mommy, I am grateful for my quick learning skills. If it wasn’t for my dad I am not sure how successful I... Read The Rest →

Why I Hated Being Pregnant
Lifestyle
I was never the type of girl that dreamed of the day that I would be married or have children. Instead I dreamed of the day that I would be recognized for other accomplishments in my career.
