My Easy Eats Cooking Show

June 11, 2024

Let me be honest, I’m not a chef. I don’t even consider myself to be a great cook if we’re being honest. So why would I create a cooking show? It’s simple. I love bringing people together and nothing brings people together better than food, great drinks, and stimulating conversation. I started Easy Eats during the pandemic. We were all at home looking for things to keep us entertained. One thing I know for sure, is that the longer you sit around at home with nothing to do, the hungrier you are. I don’t understand the math, but that’s just…

Easy Eats | Spinach, Fig & Prosciutto Salad

May 30, 2024

Whenever I’m invited to a dinner and asked to bring a dish, my go-to is typically a dellicious salad. Salads tend to be forgotten on the menu and I have no problem adding them to the table. Typically, when making a salad, we toss them in a bowl and they sometimes get forgotten. Well, this particular salad is guaranateed to impress your guest at your next dinner party. I found this recipe here and wanted to try it myself. I love finiding recipes and making them my own and I encourage you all to do the same. I think I’ll…

June Wine of the Month

May 29, 2024

June 1, 2024 You should all know by now that I’m a red wine girlie, so it’s no surprise that this month’s wine of the month is in fact…a red wine.

Winery:Pur Noire | Owners: Carissa and Kenneth StephensA husband and wife winery and tasting room located in Houston, TX. Pur Noire is Houston’s first Black- Owned tasting room. Their Pur Collection consists of a Petite Sirah based blend, Pinot Gris & Sauvignon Blanc…

Grocery Store Wine | Jam Jar Sweet Shiraz

April 4, 2024

It’s not lost on me that some people aren’t huge fans of wines because of the acidity and the dry tastes; That is what makes people lean towards the sweeter lesser quality options. It’s also not lost on me that price point matters. As mentioned in previous posts, I’m on a mission to find a decent bottle of wine that’s available to the masses and doesn’t break the bank. This Sweet Shiraz from Jam Jar helped me to transistion to red wines in my early wine drinking days. Shiraz is a dessert wine, so it’s sweeter than most and not…

Trader Joe’s Wine | Zinfandel

March 27, 2024

I’m still on a mission to find wine alternatives that are of decent quality, accessible to the masses, and are reasonably priced. Trader Joe’s has a great wine section with a number of wine varieties and at every price point. Finding the best wine at TJ’s isn’t easy, but I’m determined to do so. I decided to stop in to my local TJ’s and grab this bottle of Zinfandel to try out for y’all and well uummm, I’m not a fan. At all. However, just because I didn’t enjoy it (I took 3 sips and aborted the mission, ASAP) doesn’t…

My Top Grocery Store Wine – #1 Josh Cellars

March 23, 2024

The entire topic and discourse around wine can be classist, but it doesn’t have to be. Enjoying a decent bottle of wine doesn’t have to cost a ton of money but neither should it compromise on quality. You can grab a pretty nice bottle of wine from your local grocery store, or even a gas station (that’s a perk of living in Northern California) that’s not garbage. I have a few wine brands that I grab from the grocery store and sometimes Seven Eleven, when I’m in a rush or don’t want to spend a ton of money. Let’s get…

August Wine of the Month

August 2, 2023

For anyone who has ever had a glass of wine with me, they are well aware that my wine of choice is Cabernet Sauvignon. As with many beginner wine drinkers, red wine was never my drink of choice, but as I’ve gotten older and my palate has changed, I’ve become a red girl. I especially love a good bottle of red during the winter months, but that doesn’t stop me from indulging during the summer. So let’s get into this month’s wine of the month. Winery: Longevity Winery | Wine Maker: Phil LongFamily owned and Black Owned vineyard located in…
