How many dishes do you think the average person should know how to prepare (whether they’re single or married)?
They say the way to a man’s heart is through to his stomach. I normally don’t like cliché responses but I believe this one is true. When I first met my husband, I had made gumbo. I invited a few friends and family over, he was among them. Well, unbeknown to me, my husband had told his [then] roommate that I was going to be his wife and he didn’t know me from Sally Sue. LOL… we laugh about it to this day. Of course his roommate thought he had one too many bowls of gumbo by then; but we are a true testimony to this day. So to answer your question, a person needs to know at least 3 dishes: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner!
Outside of cooking (and publishing), what are some of your other interests?
I have recently formed a ladies’ group called the “Glam Girls”. It’s a good group of ladies who come together to “Relax, Release, and Relate”. The 3 R’s. We share news, accomplishments, target goals and achievements. We just want to make a difference in life. We’re like a support group for the empowerment of women. We also celebrate birthdays and give back to the community.
Where do you get your inspiration for your articles?
My inspirations come daily. I never have a set format for the monthly issues. I like the freedom of expressions without limitations. I will publish newsworthy events, positive role models, information that you never thought would change your way of thinking. I’d like to think that each publication will bring about a change. My purpose for the magazine is to give recognition to everyday people. I want to use “Coffee Cups UP!” as a beacon for the average “Mary” or “Joe”. It takes all kinds of people to make the world go around and you don’t have to be a Pop Star, a millionaire, a famous person or the President to get your 5 minutes of fame in “Coffee Cups UP!”
magazine.
