Introduction to the Diary of a Smart Black Woman

This is my foray into the world of blogging. A former 9-year vegetarian, I'm tip-toeing back into the world of fresh, healthy and good-for-you food. Though, I still enjoy the occasional indulgence in wings (mmm, barbecue) and most (sweet) things baked.

I received an associate chef certificate as well as a teacher's certificate in Raw, Vegan Cuisine. I enjoy un-cooking lots of strange deliciousness, especially my famous Kale Chips, which I hope to offer on the market place soon. When all else fails, and I insist on eating not-so-good-for-me food, I like to make sure I have some GREENS everyday!

Fresh, leafy, dark greens are great for vitamins, minerals, and helping to ph balance the body to a more alkaline state. Salads are awesome; but, when I just don't feel like having one, there's nothing like a tall glass of Green Juice or a Green Smoothie to refresh the system and make you feel good about treating yourself right! I look forward to sharing some of my green favorites soon.


So you know what you're getting yourself into, this blog PROMISES to deliver:

1) 5 posts a week (some short, some long, some entertaining, some educational, and frankly, some rambling).

2) 3 recipes a week. - Most will be vegan, but some will not; at least one will be a juice or smoothie recipe.

3) Nothing but the truth about the world - according to me (i.e., my opinion).

Now that you know a little bit of what I'm about, you should also know that I'm a hobbyist musician and a doctoral student in linguistics at George Mason University; so, I may occasionally subject you to posts about these subjects as well.

May you enjoy reading this, the Diary of a Smart Black Woman.
