Enjoy this quick Liberian Vegan Potato Greens Dish Vegan Potato Greens with Mushrooms are often not associated with the traditional Liberian dish. The original dish is often loaded with thick pieces of tender meat and fish, hardly do you see it made with mushrooms. Potato greens are made from the leaves of the sweet potato plant. For the longest time, I could not find a place in NYC to buy this product, that was not until I began to notice the shape of these leaves in the Asian food stores that I frequented. Still, Potato or Yam leaves are not popular greens that you'd find in the supermarket. It's usually specific to Asian and South American. Or African Markets, but those are usually ...

3 Lessons I Learned While Unemployed
The 3 lessons I learned while unemployed were crucial 3 Lessons I Learned While Unemployed. As of two months ago, I found myself out of work. I was sent an email the previous night to meet for a 9 am meeting the morning of 6/12. I did not fret too much about the message. It read along the lines of almost like a promotion. It talked about the growing changes within the organization and how I would fit into the puzzle (well I guess reading it now, it could go both ways). Oddly enough, I had scheduled an interview that morning. Which I want to pause and say, 'If you ever sense that things aren't right, trust your gut' I sensed that we'd go a second year without a pay increase, ...
Easy Foolproof Vegetable Broth - 3 Ingredients
Easy foolproof vegetable broth without celery! Easy foolproof vegetable broth, a caveman can do it! Okay, maybe there's no real science for that. However, this vegetable broth has been the essential base for a lot of my stew recipes, and ever since I've started incorporating it - I've found that it elevates my dishes to the next level. I love this recipe because it's quick, cheap and easy, WITHOUT CELERY. Lots of recipes out there recommend celery but I find it to be overpowering.

I've used it in numerous recipes including my Nigerian Vegan No Meat Efo Riro and my Liberian Vegan Okra ...
Affordable Ayurvedic Hair Growth Oil
An affordable ayurvedic hair oil that will increase hair growth and thicken hair strands Affordable Ayurvedic hair growth oil can easily be achieved without much of an investment. When I first learned of @Curly Proverbz on YouTube, I wasn't familiar with the Ayurvedic healing properties. To me, growing hair was making sure to condition your hair often and to have good genes. Though when I first big chopped my hair I was so diligent with hair care and conditioning oils. Then I got lazy and it no longer became fun. Since then I've gone through 4 big chops, with the most recent in 2017 due to uneven hair in the back of my head due to breakage. I was tired of the breakage, I'm not sure ...
Thai Green Curry Recipe & Memories from Thailand
You can make Thai curry at the fraction of what you think it would cost Thai green curry is probably one of my favorite Thai dishes, after pad thai. So when my friend had an idea of going to Thailand for her 30th birthday, I couldn't say no. In February I got to visit the beautiful country of Thailand with some amazing ladies. This was the first time I've been that far east, so I was not looking forward to the flight nor time difference. However, if I was asked to do it all over again, I'd do it in a heartbeat. You must go. Other than the food, the scenery has to be the best part of Thailand. We visited both Bangkok and Phuket and each area had their own feel and look. Bangkok is ...
5 Vegan Ice Cream Spots by Price in NYC
Here are 5 non-dairy ice cream spots in NYC to visit, with a map of all other ice cream spots Vegan Ice cream is for sure hard to come by, but when you do find it - expect to pay a premium for the tasty treat. I am still 100% a fan of buying the tubs of ice-cream from Whole Foods and then going to town on them at home. But buying outside is part of the experience. You may go on an especially hot day in the summer, you're out with some friends, or you simply just deserve it. So long you keep the purchase within your budget. Everything else will fall into place. Here are my recommendations of places to go for some non-dairy ice cream, I also created a map with all establishments across ...
