I was looking for these photos yesterday and couldn’t locate them. I’m glad my deep dive proved successful. Sonya and I had so much fun this day on set. It was the Nurses ball on GH and we had the chance to get to know each other because of the time it took to set up scenes. We laughed, shared stories, acted all kinds of silly. Sonya was so full of life. She was so talented, funny, strong and loved her little dogs deeply. I am still in shock and saddened by the terrible news. 55 years old…Too too young. May you Rest In Peace and power Sonya. You will not be forgotten. #RIP #gonetoosoon #love

A great talent and more importantly, a great man has left this earth. John was always so incredibly kind. And funny. I was always uplifted when I was in his presence. There is going to be so much more laughter in the afterlife now. RIP John. #johnanniston #love #laughter #legend #youllbemissed #rip

Hey all you Days fans!! If you want to see Ava off, tune into DOOL today for her last day in Salem. Thought I’d share some of my memories from the last (almost) two years. Starts at the end and ends at the start with my first nasal swab. Oh Covid!! Thanks for all the love and support you continue to show me. I will miss you all!! Wait, I’ll still be here, you can find me on IG!! 😉 Much love. #farewell #bekind #love #solong #Ava #tobereal #give #grateful #thankyou #adios #byebye #days
I heard the news this morning and was in schock. My friend who told me saw my shock, grabbed me, gave me a hug and I immediately started to sob. @nnekacali I cannot comprehend that you are gone. I met you when I was 29 years old. You stayed the same lovely person you were all those years ago. No matter what kind of stress went on around you at work you somehow always had an amazing ability to keep things together. You juggled a lot of responsibilities (more than you should have had) and a lot of strong personalities and you always kept a level head when most would have lost it. You NEVER did. Your kindness, your warmth, your love, our conversations about real things… I will remember. I cannot believe you are gone. You were so beautiful. This world has lost a beautiful bright light. You will be missed by so many. I cannot believe this. Love and condolences to your family and your boyfriend. Love you, Ms. N’neka. #rip #love #gonetoosoon #heartbroken 💔
Irene Cara, may you continue to shine bright. You will “live forever” in our hearts. Thank you for my childhood dreams and memories. 💔 #RIP #irenecara #coco #fame #lobe #gonetoosoon
Happy jump day! Noooo HUMP DAY (damn autocorrect!) to you!! Can anyone help me?

This is Ralph Yarl. He is a gifted, precious young man who went to the wrong address to pick up his younger siblings. Because he is black, a racist white man shot him twice. White people, can you imagine your child being shot for knocking on the wrong door? Please donate if you can or share the post. Also, you can go to my stories and click on the posts to see how you can help. The man who shot him needs to be arrested and charges brought against him. #godbless #ralphyarl #heartbroken #justice #love
Happy Friday Everyone! Winter is here and it’s time for more soup! This mushroom soup was filled with all kinds of yumminess. I’d like to tell you what I did exactly but I’m not 100% sure. But these were the things that happened! Olive oil Onion Garlic Braggs amino acids 1 Tablespoon Oregano 1 Tablespoon Thyme 1 Tablespoon Parsley Black Pepper to your liking 1 can coconut milk Two packages of cremini(brown button) mushrooms chopped/sliced Two medium portobello mushrooms chopped/sliced Sauté the onion and garlic in a little oil then add mushrooms. Let’s simmer for a little bit. Add the aminos. Stir in and let simmer for 10 minutes. Let the water release from the shrooms and then start to create a yummy broth. Add coconut milk. Taste it. See if it needs more something something. Aminos? More pepper? More herbs? Do your thing. Zhuzh it up! I loved how it tasted. Loved the soup not puréed but then I decided to go ahead and blend…half of it. Made it creamier. It was yum yum yummy. Shared it with Pa Ed. He said, “It’s good!!” Yes it was. Make it. Tell me how it goes. #soup #yummy #winterfood # warming #vegan #plantbased #hotfood #mushroomsoup #fridayfeels #mushrooms #vegancooking #plantbasedcooking #veganrecipes #love #goodeats #tryityoumightlikeit #justeatit #delicious #yum #yummy #kindfood #bekind #love
Life is about continually getting back up on the horse. You may not desire to ride the same way you once did but get back up on it anyway. Nothing wrong with a leisurely walk to admire the scenery or perhaps a little trot. You don’t always need to gallop. Just get back up and go for a ride. Happy hump day! #humpday #blackandwhitephotography #vintage #love #bekind #youcandoit #enjoytheride #wednesday
Hey people. I know it’s been a long time since I posted a video. Posted anything really for a long time. Except for my last post, about dear Nneka. Bless her soul. I had been in a space. We get that way sometimes, right? Have to go inward. But I’m back for now. 💗 Anyway, I heard from some people that they missed my videos. So, here is one from a simple dinner I recently made. Normally I would eat with some quinoa or brown rice but I didn’t feel like it. I did add a little raw sauerkraut after the vid when I sat down to eat. Eat your veggies and Beans! They are filling, delicious, filled with protein and fiber fueled! Happy Friday, party people. I hope you find many reasons to smile today. -Chop veggies into similar sizes For this one, I used broccoli, parsnips, carrots, cauliflower plus the leaves, Yukon potato, yellow and red onion, mushrooms -Drizzle with olive or avocado oil to just coat veg -Salt -Pepper -Herbs-be generous! (I used parsley, sage rosemary and thyme) cue Simon and Garfunkel -Toss -add to baking tray(don’t crowd it) Bake at 400 for 30-35 minutes check on it. I roasted some garlic as well but as much as I love it, my tum tum wasn’t up for it. Saved it for another day. It’s great to add to toast or use as a spread for a sandwich. To make, just chop the top off, drizzle with oil and cover in foil. Bake until a lovely brown color. Be careful not to burn. #eatit #tryityoumightlikeit #vegan #food #yum #naturallyvegan #tickleyourfancy #plantbased #veggies #beans #roastedveggies #justeatit #enjoy #love #fun #happyfooddance #herbs #spices #love #grateful #bekind

Happy hump day people! Here’s a simple healthy carrot cabbage salad/slaw/yum for ya. I thought I’d pay attention to measurements this time for the vinaigrette and I did…at the time… But I didn’t write it down and then I forgot. Oops. If I ever do a cookbook I’ll have real measurements for you. Ha! Really, I’ll get better. I do so much by feel and I just video what I’m making to eat when I get the gumption. So, here ya go. Have a beautiful day, spread love and find reasons to smile. Xo Salad/slaw: Purple cabbage Carrots Green apple Dried parsley (be generous) Vinaigrette: 2-3T ACV 1T Olive Oil 3/4T Dijon Mustard 3/4T stone mustard 1T pure maple syrup So, normally I add some green onion, salt and pepper but I didn’t feel like it this time. 🤷♀️ Do what makes you happy. Tickle your tastebuds and your fancy. Shred or chop salad ingredients except for dried parsley. (Fresh parsley works too just add double or triple the amount.) Add vinaigrette. Mix together. Eat right away or let chill in fridge for an hour. Enjoy. Great for a few days but just gets juicier. Delicious all ways!! #humpday #salad #slaw #justeatit#eattherainbow #plantbased #plantbasedrecipes #vegan #veggies #fruits #herbs #fiberfueled #tickleyourfancy #tryityoumightlikeit #healthy #love #share #food #enjoy #bekind #happyfooddance #easypeasy
Yummy kale (do you) dump salad Kale Cooked quinoa Apples (cut and squeeze on lemon juice) Avocado Sunflower seeds Beets Red onion Drizzle (dressing) Tahini Miso paste Ginger Maple syrup Lime or lemon (or both) Massage your kale with lemon and a sprinkle of salt and set aside. Cut your apples and squeeze with lemon to keep from turning brown. Cut avocado, beets and red onion. Add all ingredients Make the dressing. I wish I had measurements. Maybe, 1/4 C tahini, 1 teaspoon of miso paste, 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon of ginger (I used ginger paste) teaspoon of maple syrup, healthy squeeze of lemon or lime. Taste as you go. I’ll do it again and come up with exact measurements. I’ve added garlic too in the past just didn’t this time. Be brave! Taste as you go and adjust! Add dressing. Toss. Enjoy!! Big hugs! Merry Christmas Eve!! 🎄 #christmaseve #salad #kalesalad #wintersalad #warmsalad #plantbased #plantbasedrecipes #goodforyou #tryityoumightlikeit #tickleyourfancy #vegan #yum #healthyfood #tahini #veggies #love #share #food #grateful
Veggie soup with lentils and chick peas. Was feeling like a quick soup. So I threw what I had into a pot. Don’t know why I made such a small amount though. When making soup make enough for leftovers!! I always think it’s even better the next day anyway!! Onions, carrots, celery, potato, lentils, chick peas, kale, lemon, parsley, sage, thyme, vegan bullion, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes(optional) Follow the video for the recipe. Really? Really? Well, yeah. A little bit of this a little bit of that. Use whatcha got! 😂😂 Happy souping. #winter #soup #plantbased #lentils #veggies #vegan #staywarm #quickandeasy #tickleyourfancy #happyfooddance #tryityoumightlikeit #love
Happy Thursday beautiful ones! I hope you have a wonderful day filled with gratitude. Grateful for you all. Xo Sweet Potato Black bean and Quinoa YUM Okay, there are so many ways to do this. This one is a simple version I made and ate (yum) the other day. Wash and bake a sweet potato until it is super duper soft. Brings out the sweetness. (Poke some air holes with a fork) Make some guacamole. I did mine like this but go crazy with what tickles your fancy: I smashed some Avos Added some sea salt, Squeezed some fresh lime And added some red chili flakes Cook some quinoa(it’s naturally high in protein) Mix together: Can of black beans (drained & rinsed) Cooked corn (I used frozen organic) Scallions (red onions would have been better but I just didn’t have any) Pinch of salt or Brags amino acids More flavor/heat option: Add some garlic powder Serrano or jalapeño peppers some cilantro if you’re a cilantro lover Cut and open that steamy sexy potato and layer in the toppings. I ate mine with some of the slaw I made from my previous video on the side. It was sooooo yummy and very filling. Enjoy! Oh, and Happy Passover to those who celebrate. This might even be kosher for Passover. But probably not. I’m not kosher or a rabbi so check for yourself. 😂 #humpday #sweetpotato #blackbeans #corn #slaw #justeatit #eattherainbow #plantbased #plantbasedrecipes #vegan #veggies #fiber #fiberfueled #guthealth #protein #veganprotein #tickleyourfancy #tryityoumightlikeit #healthy #love #share #food #enjoy #bekind #happyfooddance #easypeasy

Hey beautiful people!! It’s that time of year when the wonderful people at @srocf have the second annual #Sandysprint to raise funds for #ovariancancer research. If you have ovaries, had ovaries, know or love anyone with ovaries please get involved to help find a cure for this insidious disease. Presently, there are no screening tests available and often by the time there are symptoms it’s too late. Want to help spread ovary love? Join my team, come have fun and walk with me (or run without me. 😂) or make a donation if you can’t come out. Go to the link in my bio to sign up or donate. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!! Big hugs and Ovary love! 🦋 Hope to see you there! #ovaries #cancer #walk #run #women #men #griffithpark #fundraiser #love #friendship #help #give #cure #thankyou
Okay, so I posted this already once this morning but for some reason the music became unavailable. Here’s a different tune. Hope it posts with the beats. I’ll post the recipe for this at a later date. The mushrooms were SO GOOD!! OMG!! It all was. That drizzle?!? Stop! Fab! Okay, I know times are hard, food is ridiculously expensive and if we can feed ourselves without too much stress that is a privilege. Share your food with people if you can. Make a donation if you’re able to a reputable organization that feeds people in need. Donate your time to work at a soup kitchen. There is much we can do to help. Never forget that small gestures can make a big impact in other people’s lives. Sending love and happiness to you all on this #humpday enjoy!! #plantbased #wfpb #veggies #happyfooddance #climatefriendlyfood #yum #eatmoreplants #healthyfood #bekind #help #give #share #love #delicious #food #veggiebowl #justeatit #healthyfood #giveback
