Greetings, dear meows! Happy New Moon in Cancer! 🌚♋️ The new moon has always represented a fresh beginning… a time to rest and reassess where we need to look within us, around us, and reflect. To take a looksee and uncover how else we can bring nourishment towards us in every area of our lives. Whether you follow the lunar cycle closely or simply enjoy finding meaning in the meals you prepare,…

Shrimpies! Greetings, dear meows! Well here we are in the month of March! First quarter of the year is almost under our belts! Speaking of, you’ll definitely need to loosen up that belt buckle cause what I whipped up in the ol’ cauldron last week was food coma inducing but soooo worth it! Let’s jump right into the fire, shall we? Green Curry Shrimp Starting off strong with one of my favorite…

Sopa de Fideo Greetings, dear meows! I hope this month is treating you well so far, and that your own creative spark is shining as bright as can be. I’m always cooking up and creating whimsical things that in terms of food isn’t necessarily anything one hasn’t seen before, but I always like to add a fun twist of my own to keep things playful, yet familiar. This week started out with a bang! We…

Greetings, dear meows! I published a middle grade fantasy novel inspired by a lifetime in professional kitchens and the greatest teacher I’ve ever known…my daughter, Nia. The Creepy Culinary Adventures of Nia Luna is a story about flavor, bravery, and discovering that autism can be a superpower when the world finally learns how to see it. So what happens when food becomes a spell, a story, and…

Yay! Greetings dear meows! I hope all is well with you wherever you are on this planet of ours! I’m still cooking and will post up more tasty morsels soon, but I’ve been busy as of late filming new episodes of my show, The Mystic Meals Podcast! It’s been quite the learning curve and still really don’t know what I’m doing, 😛 but onward I go! I’m so thrilled to be doing the show again and have…

Holiday Cookies! Greetings, dear meows! Well… We made it to December! The final boss level holiday season is upon us and the year is almost over. I don’t know about you meows, but for me, this whole year was the longest/fastest year ever! A milestone one at that for many reasons. I became an author & I turned 50 on November 22nd! Happy to be stepping into a new decade of life while still being…

Holiday Dinner Idea! Greetings, dear meows! With the holidays on the fast track towards us, and food options being a bit limited for the majority these days, I’ve found personally that I have to shift gears almost every time I’m at the grocery store. Sometimes what I had in mind to make changes because of both availability and affordability. I try my best to keep the ingredients as simple and…

So spicy! 🌶️ Greetings, dear meows! For the last Taco Tuesday in October ( only 2 months left of the year! ) I decided to lean into the 90 sumthin degree weather we’re having and made some yummy and spicy tacos. This is a quick and easy dish. It requires minimal prep if not making everything from scratch. Yiu can use bagged pre shredded cole slaw mix, and store bought tortillas of choice to…

They’re so pretty! Greetings, dear meows! One of the things I enjoy the most about grocery shopping is the thrill of discovery in either trying something out for the first time or finding something new that I’ve never had before. While out and about I stumbled upon what I thought at first were apples because of their red & greenish color, but they were Apriums. A hybrid fruit combo of Apricots…

Greetings, dear meows! I wanted to share something with you that I think is the coolest! My friend Jason Knear surprised me earlier this week by sending me a song he created for us inspired by my book The Creepy Culinary Adventures of Nia Luna! So unexpected and absolutely kind and thoughtful of him to go out of his way to do. I must admit, I got a little misty when I first heard it. I was so…

Sweet Treat! Greetings, dear meows! The weather’s finally starting to cool down a bit here in Los Angeles. I always joke that once it hits 70 degrees here it’s officially “sweater weather” 😹 And of course with that comes all the food cravings that go along with the cool crispness in the air. I meal prep for a few people and one of my clients requested a dessert for her family. She wanted…

The Master of The Dark Realm! Greetings, dear meows! As I’m now in the process of promoting my book The Creepy Culinary Adventures of Nia Luna, I wanted to share this groovy interview with The Master of The Dark Realm himself, Gothic Illusionist Ron Fitzgerald! He and I have been lurking through each other’s cupboards for years. He’s a great friend and trusted ally who’s always been very…

I want to thank you all for the outpouring of well wishes and support regarding the release of my debut novel, The Creepy Culinary Adventures of Nia Luna and what a week it’s been! I’m back at it with cooking & posting so I wanted to drop off this delicious pasta dish here! The Madness… 😹 The video is just me being silly and describing the dish. I mean we all…

My debut novel, The Creepy Culinary Adventures of Nia Luna will be available worldwide 9/13/25 on Amazon in kindle, paperback, and hardcover! I’m absolutely excited to finally be at the home stretch with it. Over 6 years in the making. And honestly, I’m very proud of what I’ve written and hope…

The Creepy Culinary Adventures of Nia Luna Greetings, dear meows! I know this is a major shift from my usual food posts, but still cooking related… In a very unique way. My daughter Nia is on the autism spectrum and as any family with neurodivergent members will tell you, life is lived in a very unconventional manor. I’m far from normal anyways, and embrace that part of myself as fully as I do…

Yup! Greetings, dear meows! I think the title literally speaks for itself. There are fruit pies, and then there are galettes. It’s basically a French style free formed pie that can be either sweet or savory. Summer fruits are everywhere and I was asked to make some desserts for a tea party. And I knew I wanted to use plums and cherries. I always try to add a twist to things and that came…
