Christ is in our midst! I think my stomach has been serenading Bee Gees songs to me lately. My stomach has been so happy since I have been listening to the prescription of eating more greens and drinking more water. I am glad that I have finally listened because I have so much energy and…

Eggplant & Feta Parcels
Christ is Risen! Not much of this world brings me such great joy except when I find a new recipe and can share with my loved ones, and we commune in joy. Much love can be felt when sharing a meal with those around you; it is a good feeling knowing that you prepared a…
