In case you're interested, today is the day I begin shipping books (Thicker Than Water). So GirlFriend my address is 7106 Red Fox Trail

I just want to let you know your vegan black eye peas recipe looks divine! I can hardly wait to try it out. I am a student and it looks so SIMPLE! Which I love.
Stay Blessed

Just wanted to say thanks again for the beautiful comment on my latest post. I'm in a space right now that I can't give name to, but it feels good, even through the uncertainty. I also wanted to let you know your book should be getting to you Saturday, at the latest, Monday. I really pray it touches you and that you will be inspired to continue to be an inspiration. Look forward to talking with you soon and keep the recipes coming :-)
Continue to press...
The meal look delicious. I am inspired to bake more. I have decided to incorporate more time into it with the kids help. I even went out and bought some fun shaped cookie cutters. So I'm off.
Peace Sis,
I had the opportunity to check out your blog! I am so inspired by your vegan recipes and your divine hand bags. I wondered what you were cooking these days? I am very interested in learning how to cook more vegan recipes for my family. I fell in love with the chocolate cakes! I wondered if you knew of any books for cooking that would be helpful on my journey?

thank you for such wonderful feedback...i love baking...it's so soothing and relaxing to me.
i think i may be making some red beans and rice this weekend...my husband is dying for some. in addition to that i am trying to perfect a new cornbread recipe...so look our for that....
i have tons of books to recommend...send me your email and i will email you a list. or if you want you can email me...
LOVE LIFE LAVA!!!
I finally saw the cakes that everybodies been talking about. They do look absolutely delicious. I cant wait to go on maternity leave Ill be cookin and bakin the whole nine yards. I havnt had the time to really enjoy these things in a long time. You are such an inspiration since I was a young girl I have always wished to be able to care for my family in that way These short three months home will be the perfect time to actually give them my undivided attention and also discover myself as young woman. By the way I had an awsome slice of cherry pie the other day and it was soooo good. I think a vegan version of that would be even better. perhaps you could try it Ill look for a recipy. I know its just cherry preserves and a crust but I mean from scratch not the cherry preserves in the can chemical filled crap. instead of that you could get some fresh cherries from the farmers market and make yor own fresh filling and crust. I can taste it already. Just a suggestion I hope you endever to try it. I will as soon as i set up my kitchen and get all my baking utensils and pots and stuff in a week or so.
Its good speaking to you ( like your sitting next to me LOL)
Link me up soon and let me kow what you think!!!
LAVA!!!!
