Thoughts Over Food

EP 7: Happily, Never After | Heart of Palm Pasta in Garlic Tomatoe Wine Sauce with Saute Shrimp

TOF Episode 7 In this episode I share about my past toxic relationship and what I've come to learn about my experiences. In my opinion, being in a toxic relationship is one of the hardest things that anyone can go through emotionally. The experience from an abusive/toxic can be traumatic. I think we tend to get into toxic relationships because it's familiar to us and it becomes a cycle. There's always a way out of those types of relationship and staying isn't an option. Find the strength and courage to not stay in a toxic relationship and seek help if need be. Plus, I'm presenting a simple and unique dish called heart of palm pasta in garlic tomatoe wine sauce with sauté shrimp. I believe this will be fun and yummy to cook up for all ya' foodie enthusiast!

EP 5: Don't Give Up On Them | Veggie Taco Salad

TOF Episode 5 In this episode I'm sharing about the experience that I've went through with my son. We all have a lost sheep or a black sheep in the family and a lot of the time we want to do all that we can to help them out, but ended up being the most difficult thing to do. There is time of discouragement to the point of giving up on them. I'm here to say don't give up on the people that you love and/or care for. Be a listening ear, be patient, and kind because there will eventually be a big turn around towards the positive to see them come through the struggles.

EP 4: My Mind Battle and Depression | Tofu Katsu with Curry

TOF Episode 4 In this episode I share about my recent battle with emotional depression by allowing intrusive thoughts or wrong thinking in my mind. Our mind is very complex and it's usually difficult to filter out the thoughts and lies we allow into our headspace from the world. We all at some time have had these depressive emotions and mindset, and it's up to us to make that choice to receive the positive and release the negative. Give yourself the permission that it's okay to go through those emotions and thinking, just don't let it stay where it could lead to depression. Do seek guidance and professional help if you are facing deep depression. There are people that really care to help others get through those emotions and help get you to a healthy mindset.

EP 3: Brokenness, Healing is a Process | Mushramen with Air Fry Tofu

In this episode, I'm sharing a little bit about my personal brokenness from failed marriages/relationships and what it took to get to the healing process. We've all gone through some kind of brokenness and pain, to find healing is to let go and forgive. Healing comes when you finally choose to receive it within yourself and taking all the time you need to get through that process. Also, I'm presenting Mushramen with air fry tofu. I grew up eating a lot of noodles/ramen, so I know this recipe would be something to enjoy! "From Simple Dishes, To Pleasant Wishes, Don't Forget To Do Your Dishes!" Follow my TikTok account here!
