These recipes are important to me as an alternative breakfast and protein source from poultry and other meats. During my journey from not eating meat (stopping cold turkey style), becoming a vegetarian, then vegan, and now a balanced pescatarian diet. When I think of eating, family nutrition comes to mind. Are your family meals geared for excellent flavors with healthy ingredients? Our minds, body and souls truly depend on the type of foods we consume. Energy, focus, brain activity, disease prevention is highly affected by what we eat. This has encouraged me to transition into a health-conscious lifestyle.

Health has never been more important with the current global virus outbreaks. Underserved communities have expressed the need for eating healthier, but many people often have the misconception that healthy equates to a disgusting taste. There are many trending restaurants, farmers/ fresh markets, food shows and recipe books that are consciously focusing on tasty nutrition. Personally, I would rather cook at home and create a unique recipe from the book eat like you give a f… mixed with my southern family traditional foods.
