Welcome! I'm Kenya!

Hi, my name is TaKenya, but you can call me Kenya. As a busy wife, mother, and passionprenuer, I understand how hard it can be to stay balanced.

I am married to my best friend of over 25 years and am the mother of two beautiful children. A tween and young adult. Where is my spaceship???

Recently, I have started using alternative ingredients to make healthier meals that still satisfy my sweet tooth and taste preferences. We are a hybrid between pescatarian and vegan around here – maybe veganish??

Home is my happy place and where I take great pleasure in relaxing with family and friends.

Although life is unpredictable and can be a roller coaster at times, I strive to keep my food, family, and fun all in balance.
