How Does This Work?



 I am sitting here watching Christmas movies with my family trying to figure the blogging thing out. Do I write out a plan for blogs or, is this something where I just wing it? I don’t know where to begin. How do I fit this “new” thing into my already busy schedule? Hmmm, between  filming for TikTok, posting to Instagram, YouTube, (not really a thing, in real life, but I’m working on it), full-time job, mom-life, and now Grandma (that is so weird, but we will discuss that later), where will blogging fit in? 

What I do know is, of all the things I commit to and take on, cooking is and always has been my favorite. Cooking for me is like vacuuming, it takes me away from the stress and reality of my world. It quiets my anxiety, so I can focus on the meal. Cooking is a vibe, a mood, and mine reflects the mood I am in.  If I am feeling creative, my family will get a meal that is derived from many hours of research and preparing. Next day, may be an every man for himself day, or, hotdogs, even cereal. I don’t cook everyday…WHAT?! But, I love to try new recipes and food, other days I stick to the basics. Some day I would love to travel and experience food all over the world.

Focus, Angel…

Back to what I was saying, how do I work this thing? Do I share videos, recipes, food tastings. Maybe I will write some things down so that I am better prepared. I am actually very organized when I plan. I posted a Christmas Breakfast Meal on TikTok (eclectic_Angel43), using items I found at the $1.25 Tree. Check it out and let me know what you think. I planned… I love making meals on a budget, because, there are people who don’t have access to expensive ingredients, or, they may be down to the last few dollars and need a meal idea.  Cooking I know. I may not have all the fancy techniques and secrets figured out but, I know cooking. 

Social media I am learning. Blogging I am adding to my repertoire….  I have no idea what I am doing here in the blogging world. I don’t know how to work this thing, but, there is no going back now. I hit the post tab, so that makes me a blogger.  I have two blogs now, and that’s saying something because on YouTube, I posted once. Now, if you have questions, ideas, something to talk about, or just want to be friends.. I’m down. Leave a comment get this thing going…However, there are rules to this friendship.. let’s stay respectful and humble. 😘 I can be a bit spicy 🌶

Easy Stuffed Bellpeppers with no tomato sauce

Image
 Hey!  I love  vegetables. I especially am a fan of a bell pepper, red green yellow, yummy! Bell-peppers are versatile, you can eat em topped with cream cheese, or use in a recipe, or you can stuff them with your preferred ingredients. I often cook with bell pepper. I know there are people out there that are not fans of the yummy vegetable, which WHAT?! But, if you are a fan, I have a delicious recipe for you for stuffed peppers, that will have you doing a happy dance because they are so good child!! The ooey-gooey cheese, mixed with rice and meat, and stuffed inside the crunchy, sweet pepper is so DELICIOUS! I was eating the meat mixture as I was preparing this dish, by the time the peppers were done I was so full.  Does anyone else eat as they are cooking? Let’s talk about that in another blog, LOL. Stay focused, Angel.. NOTE: You can leave the bell pepper whole, or, cut them length wise, which makes it easier to just pick em up and bite em. Either way, make sure t...

Food Has Been Staring At Me

Has there ever been a thing you have loved to do but, you couldn’t get out of your own head about it? Or, maybe you love multiple things, so, you couldn’t pick the one that stands out to you the most. Or, or, or, you are presented with opportunity’s and get rich quick schemes that you know you will be good at, so the one thing you love or are truly good at gets left behind or misplaced, to pursue those things? In any case, I am this person. Stay with me this will make sense in a minute. Keep reading…. I am good at a lot of things. You need help planning an event, decorating for a party or home?  I’m your girl . I can sell water to a fish, manage a business, do hair and nails. I have sold Tupperware, MaryKay. Etc. I’ve worked a many a job, in several fields. Most, in an attempt to make money, make money quickly or to work for “myself”, or, simply me proving I can do or accomplish a thing. You know how they say, if, you are single, looking for love, to stop looking, because, the pers...

I Don’t Know What I am Doing

 I have no idea what I am doing. I have always wanted to share my love for cooking, and trying new ideas and recipes. For like 10 years, I have wanted to share,  but I have been super nervous about it. My anxiety is on 12,000 as I type this. Despite not knowing where to begin, what to post, what to talk about, here I am… then there is the whole what if people don’t like my content. My goodness, the pressure!!  I watch all the cooking videos, blogs, and ideas of other moms, and creators, each one more intimidating than the next one. To be honest, creating this blog, and opening myself up to others comments is a huge, huge deal for me. So be patient with me, as I learn to navigate the blog lifestyle. I have content on Instagram, TikTok  and one video on YouTube posted almost a year ago. Again, I DO NOT KNOW WHAT I AM DOING!! My goal is to be consistent, and intentional. My goal for this blog is to make some friends, share some recipes, trade ideas and hopefully get my ...
