Welcome to March Madness
Women's History Month: Spotlight on Culinary Legend Edna Lewis and An Oscar Worthy Mocktail
Hey! Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of my new subscribers and of course to my ride or die Black Girls Eat community. Please consider becoming a paid subscriber for access to special posts, videos and interactions with me.
I don’t know where January and February went. 2025 came in and kicked my whole entire *ss. I had grand plans for all kinds of blog posts and newsletters. They went right out the window. My brother had a health set back, my daughter had the flu and hubby was on the other side of the country. Black History Month flew by but, I made it to March! This newsletter should have come out last Thursday but hey…life be lifing :-)
The Recipe: February Flashback
If you are new here, let me share that I am a plant-based advocate. That means I am excited about finding new ways to get more fruits, grains and vegetables on your plate. I am also studying to become a nutritionist. All I can say is….whew!!!!
You can find easy recipes to help you remix your menu at my website, Black Girls Eat. Last month, we featured the following blog posts:
Women's History Month: Spotlight on Culinary Legend Edna Lewis (April 13, 1916 – February 13, 2006)
Edna Lewis was more than a cook. She was a smart and savvy entrepreneur who helped the world appreciate soul food and southern cooking techniques. Born in Freetown,Virginia and the descendant of slaves, she went on to become a culinary icon.
She was an advocate for locally sourced foods and farm to table dining before it was a thing. Watch this video from PBS to learn more about Chef Lewis: https://www.pbs.org/video/finding-edna-lewis-qzdog1/
