The Golden Era! Time to Shine!

Hello Angels Working on Earth Family! The golden hour is truly magical—it’s pure enchantment! For me, it evokes feelings of grace, gratitude, and love. These emotions reflect my passion for the culinary arts and the way I express myself through cooking. Culinary expression has become an integral part of my artistic journey. Historians define art as “the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination that produces works appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.” Let us inspire these things in each other. I cherish all kinds of food, especially traditional country dishes like turnip greens, butter beans, okra, sweet potatoes, trout, and cornbread—foods that nourish the soul. Additionally, I have a deep appreciation for Italian pasta, pho, and sushi. My culinary studies and travels have broadened my horizons, introducing me to extraordinary experiences. Food is meant to be celebrated. When we learn to eat with moderation instead of restriction, we can reconnect with the essence of eating from the heart.

It’s Your Golden Hour! Time to Rise and Shine!

Hello Angels Working on Earth Family! Let’s Do Everything in Love. We must hold on tight to our uniqueness! It is often hard to stay true to yourself in a world that expects you to conform. “But you must remain true to yourself to maintain your authenticity. It comes from within. Do things with love and set solid boundaries. It’s essential to love and value yourself and always follow your heart to stay true to your authentic self. How do we act from a place of love, not fear or obligation? In 2024, I will write weekly articles, produce podcasts on various wellness topics, produce a weekly advice channel (i.e., Do Everything in Love), and create the 2025 Calm Journal: Inspiring Spiritual Growth. My podcast, Angel’s Food, will focus on trending food topics, wellness, and some of my favorite recipes. The idea behind the podcast is to be protectors and builders, to create instead of destroying, and to bring benevolence in a time that needs peace. The Calm journal will serve as a platform to …

Matcha tea or green water colors? Food as art! This is “Joie” to me. According to historians, the word “ART is the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination… producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.”

As you can see, “ART” is defined by its genesis in the human mind. As a creative, I hope to show you creativity through food? Food is just one of my many loves. I express love through food, travel, fashion and by living a healthy lifestyle. I also express love by edifying other people.

I love all kinds of food. I love good country foods like turnip greens, butter beans, okra, sweet potatoes, trout annd corn bread. These are the foods I grew up eating.  Food that feeds the soul. But, I also love Italian pastas, Pho’s, and Sushi. My culinary studies and travels around the world have introduced me to a wide variety of experiences.

Food is meant to be enjoyed. If we learn how to eat with moderation, not restriction then we may rekindle that part of ourselves that eats with heart. For many its called “Soul” or “Soul Food.” Whatever word we use, food as “Art” is essential to Joie!
