Passionfruit has never been the fruit I knew much about. Outside of apples, bananas, pineapple, honeydew, cantaloupe, and oranges, I didn't know many other fruits when I was growing up.

When I was introduced to breadfruit, I saw it on Christina Milan's Instagram. I was intrigued by her Instagram post when she sliced into the bright, yet mellow green skin vegetable exposing the pale yellow whitish interior. As she was perplexed on if she could or should eat the vegetable, Milan expressed she enjoyed tasting breadfruit for the first time.

The hustle and bustle Monday through Friday can affect my energy. With the combination of deadlines and building my businesses, my stress level can be triggered.

I'm not a person to deny my family can raise my blood pressure. Between the holidays and topics of conversation, I have to check my pulse and my blood pressure.

Growing up, I was only aware of mint gums and candies. My go-to candies were more creative in taste and flavor [unlike mint].

Dill wasn't a staple in my spice pantry until a year ago. Growing up, we didn't use dill in a lot of food dishes. My mother prepared very basic meals, matching her thought process for delicious and flavorful meals.
