I created this website because many of my friends came to me asking me for recipes and advice on cooking. For me, cooking helps me express myself creatively and it comes naturally to me. I didn’t realize how intimidated people were with cooking. So, I wanted to help people overcome their fear.
I also LOVE to eat! My love for food, however, wasn’t always a healthy one. While physically, I would never qualify for The Biggest Loser television program, in my mind, my image of myself was right up there with the size of some of contestants. Now that I have had the courage to express these feelings, the people who know me are shocked to learn about the thoughts and struggle that I had. Their looks express their thoughts, “Were you out of your mind?” Well, yes. When we are obsessed with food and how we look, we are out of our minds!
The other night I made a batch of chocolate chip cookies, four dozen to be exact, for a church service I attended. Yes, I licked the spoons and cleaned out the last remnants of dough at the bottom of the bowl which might have translated to consuming one cookie. That was it. I had no desire to have anymore. I have what I call – The Freedom to Eat. Food doesn’t control me anymore.
I know how tough it is during the holidays when it comes to eating, so I put together 7 Tips to help you not to gain weight, and at the same time, help you to enjoy this special and sacred time of the year. Food shouldn’t ruin the holidays but enhance them.

One last tip – Our obsessive and negative thoughts can seem to drive us crazy. Meditation is a powerful tool that can help clear the clutter from our minds. I’m so passionate about meditation that I’ve created an entire website dedicated to meditative practices: http://guidedchristianmeditation.com
