You don't know which herbs are safe and which to avoid. You're unclear about how to grow your own herbs or whether you should buy them from an herbalist. (And how can you tell if the herbs for sale are of high quality anyway?) You worry that drying and storing herbs is too complicated.
 
 
There's so much to discuss when it comes to herbs, it can be easy to get totally overwhelmed. And easier still to give up on herbs altogether. But that would mean missing out on one of Nature's miracles that can help with everything from your digestion to heart health to mood & emotional well-being to smoother, brighter skin.

Empanadas

Empanadas




This is my version of the beef filled pastry that's become a Latin favorite.  You can fill the flaky crust with your own concoction of meats mixtures or seafood.  This version is a fusion of Latin and Spanish seasonings.

New Orleans Mac & Cheese with Cajun Shrimp Scampi


New Orleans Macaroni & Cheese with Cajun Shrimp Scampi 

New Orleans Mac N Cheese


My New Orleans Macaroni and Cheese with savory Cajun Shrimp Scampi is loaded with  flavors inspired by a few country's.  Primarily this dish is a fusion of deep Louisiana and Italy.  Two of my fav's!  The New Orleans Mac N Cheese is creamy, cheesy and rich and the Cajun Shrimp Scampi is a savory concoction that actually mixes well with the Mac N Cheese.
