Sweet Potato Soul
Sweet potato sassiness and bubbling brown sugar assail my sense of smell. Vanilla verve and hot caramelized crystals hug me deep in my soul. Ostentatious aroma of orange Ombre confections. SNIFF. Grabs the little girl in me and I'm holding hands with my Nana. I let my eyes close and feel the embrace of my adolescence overtake me. Trips to McDonald's just because I begged too long and too much. Digging through jewelry boxes brim-full with shiny baubles and gilded brilliance. She wears pink, leather bedroom slippers and a floral house robe while we sip morning coffee and eat scrambled eggs. I'm only 5 but it's our ritual. I'm excited because my Nana is making sweet potato pie today.

Top 3 Cooking Oil Disposal Tips
Kitchens are going to get busier during the holidays, but this doesn't mean that safety is going to be overlooked.

The Effects of Eating Homecooked Food
“Nothing beats homecooked food.” Throughout the generations, this phrase leaves many mouths. Even for families who always eat out at Michelin-star restaurants, they still agree that no outside meal outdoes homecooked food. What makes homecooked dishes so different from outside food to cause one to think this way? Simply, food prepared at home remains the most nutritious and economical choice for everyone. Food cooked at home prevents too much money from being spent unnecessarily on outside food while decreasing the risk of consuming spoilt or bacteria-infested dishes.

Blueberry Coconut Pancakes!
Hello my little lovelies! So for this recipe to be honest it was a total experiment. I was just feeling creative in my kitchen and this was born. Mainly because I'm really not much of a breakfast person and once it comes to breakfast I normally just throw whatever into a pan with some eggs and call it breakfast. It turned to be delicious and will definitely be going into my arsenal of recipes. This filled me up pretty much until dinner so if you need a meal where you're going to be busy all day and know that you probably won't be eating lunch this is perfect! Now I used coconut ice cream protein powder from 1Up to help make these more filling. If you don't have that it's okay since there will be coconut flakes in the recipe but if that's not enough you can use a little bit of coconut extract. Or instead of milk you can use coconut milk if you're lactose intolerant. That will definitely give you that coconut flavor. Without the milk, eggs and protein powder this recipe can easily be made vegan with a few substitutes.

A Very Non-Traditional Thanksgiving
The Before-Times What is your schema of schemata? Many years ago, I was reading a book on psychology, learning about phenomena such as cognitive dissonance, Freudian archetypes, and schemata. The book defined Schema as one's thoughts, feelings, and assumptions regarding a particular subject. For example, most people's schema of Thanksgiving involves turkey, mashed potatoes, and gravy. Maybe it conjures images of family gatherings. But are these holidays warm, wholesome celebrations, or are they stressful and toxic? Even these subjective feelings are part of someone's schema of Thanksgiving. And we all have our own schema of culture, society, life, and the world at large.
