Chicken Sweet Potato Soup
During fall sweet potatoes are at their best. Usually when thinking about sweet potatoes people associate them with marshmallows and sugar, but there are a number of reasons why sweet potatoes in themselves are actually really good for you, without the bad stuff. Sweet potatoes are high in antioxidants, which work to prevent inflammatory issues like asthma, arthritis, gout and much more. They are also great for the digestive tract due to them being rich in fiber. They can help offset heart problems and stroke. With all of these benefits, I wanted to use them more in my recipes.

Peach Bourbon BBQ Salmon
We are extremely blessed to have some great friends. Simeon “Real” Dill is known as being a celebrity barber, but to me he is a great man of God, businessman and style enthusiast. When Jeremy informed me that Simeon was coming over for dinner I wanted to make something as eclectic as he is. I had just purchased some locally grown peaches from the market and wanted to continue celebrating national bourbon month. What better way to do this then to make peach bourbon barbecued salmon!
