I couldn’t have a winter soup series without attempting to make my most favorite soup, which I eat year round and not just in the fall: butternut squash. I ended up making my own recipe and it can be made vegan if you would like. If you are able to buy the uncooked butternut squash …
Most of you probably know that March is Women’s History Month and that March 8 is International Women’s Day. I try to write something relevant or in honor of this month during one of my March blog posts but this year I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do. At first I thought I could …
Now that Winter has returned to the Northeast, I have decided to try making a bunch of new soups with the Instant Pot. I had a bag of split peas left from the last time I made soup with a Dutch Oven and this was so much easier! I will be featuring a new soup …
I have been featuring important Black women physicians on my blog for the last few years to honor Black History Month and 2023 is no different! I am taking the opportunity every year to learn about someone I didn’t know about and this year I came upon Dr. Renee Rosalind Jenkins during my research. She …

I hope everyone had a chance to reflect during MLK day and/or have some opportunities for service. It’s ok if you didn’t! Plan for it for next year. As I was getting ready to write my blog for the week, I realized I didn’t have anything too profound to blog about in Dr. Martin Luther …
I decided in December that 2023 is going to be my best year yet. After all, I am turning 40 soon!!! Of course, as life likes to do, the first order of business of January 2023 was to throw a big curveball: flights cancelled from Miami to Philadelphia less than 2 hours prior to departure, …
After a few weeks off from the blog due to the BEST World Cup (Mundial) EVER and some holiday inpatient service time, I am back with some recommendations as we are once again getting ready to travel during a busy holiday season. We have been fortunate to be able to travel with the kids since …
