A Mother's Ability To Provide

I Use A Lot Of Fresh Citrus, Garlic, And Fresh Herbs When Cooking To Cut Down On Fat And Sodium But Punch Up Flavor. Our Cupboards And Fridge Are Full Of Condiments - Mustards, Vinegars, Etc. That Also Add Tons Of Flavor But Are Low In Fat, Calories, Or Other Processed Additives.

A Mother's Ability To Provide For Her Children Is Not Always Tied To Income, But Rather To Education.

I Wanted So Badly To Be Straight Like My Friends. But I Couldn't Change It Any More Than I Could Change Having Brown Eyes. And I Knew I Would Never Fit Into What Kids Thought Was Normal.

My Humanitarian Work Evolved From Being With My Family. My Mom, My Dad, They Really Set A Great Example For Giving Back. My Mom Was A Nurse, My Dad Was A School Teacher. But My Mom Did A Lot Of Things For Geriatrics And Elderly People. She Would Do Home Visits For Free.

When I Was Growing Up In Mississippi - It Was Good Southern Food... But I Also Grew Up With A Greek Family; When Other Kids Were Eating Fried Okra, We Were Eating Steamed Artichokes. So I Think It Played A Big Part In My Healthy Cooking.
