INTRODUCING ... "CHEF MIXXER"

Ok so to answer everyone's questions.... NO! I have not stopped blogging. Actually I am more excited about the site now than ever. Anyone that knows me personally knows that I have always had a passion for cooking and with that passion I have added an addition to my brand. As I have said in my previous post all of my time and energy has gone into my new business venture which is launching my personal chef services business and now that I am settled in the DC area it has been a hit!

So where does that leave iNTHEMIXXER.COM? Well the site is still in full swing and I will be incorporating everything about the site into a new web series called "For The Love of Food and HipHop." The show will be based around my talent for cooking but also my love for what started the site in the first place. Music. Indie music to be specific. Each episode I will be interviewing an upcoming artist and we will cook dishes based on a song of that artists choice. I am so excited to start filming.

For those new to the site I welcome you. Any information pertaining to the personal chef services I provide can be found under the "CHEF MIXXER" tab. Along with recipes, tips, and upcoming events I will be participating in. But don't stop at the food tab! Take some time to explore the site and enjoy the features and all my hookups available!

If you are in the DC area take a second to check out my Valentine's Day schedule and be sure to email me for booking information!

#TastyTuesdays: Eating Right On Vacation (13MAY14)

*Sigh* Vacation... The downfall to all the hard work you've done to prepare for the vacation in the first place.. Is the actual vacation! It's our excuse to eat any and everything we can think of, and drink until we sweat alcohol through our pores. Right? ... WRONG!

This past weekend I took a few days off to get some sun in Jacksonville and St Augustine, FL. If you know me I love eating at places I can't usually get to day to day. For Example Krystal's Burgers and Whataburger are two of my personal favs (I'm ashamed just saying that lol). 

So soon as I touched down I went to Krystal's and grabbed a bottle of Peach Ciroc on my way back to my friend's house. TURN UP! Lol

Fast forward to the next day... I felt like shit. I'm always trying to justify that the reason I prefer shots over mixed drinks is because it's less calories, which is true but I eat like a crazy person when I'm drunk so what's the point? 

Anyway of course you're not always gonna have the luxury of a stove when you're on vacation but I you do I would recommend going to the nearest Walmart and stocking up. I immediately bought 2 gallons of water, a bunch of fruit, egg whites, turkey bacon, chicken breasts, and steam bag veggies. Stuff that's quick and easy to make. Yea I still had a few snacks here and there but majority of what I ate was better for me than the little chicken sandwiches and alcohol I had on Friday.
