Today’s salad was built from curiosity, intention, and learning the land a little deeper.

Bull thistle, cucumber, kale, red onion, Thai basil, and a freshly infused pine honey vinaigrette.

Bull thistle is one of those plants many people overlook or immediately call a w**d, but historically thistles have been used for food, resilience, and survival. Learning how to respectfully prepare and work with a plant like this reminds me that nourishment sometimes takes patience, process, and understanding.

The freshness of the cucumber, the earthiness of the kale, the brightness of Thai basil, and the subtle forest notes from the pine honey vinaigrette came together in a way that felt grounding and intentional.

I’m learning that food is more than flavor.
It’s story.
It’s connection.
It’s YOUR health.
It’s slowing down long enough to understand what’s growing around you.

Seasoned With Intention

05/08/2026

Have you ever made PINE SODA from scratch?

Not with club soda.
Not with sparkling water added in later.

I mean real PINE SODA… made with pine needles, honey, water, and time, allowing the natural fermentation process to create its own carbonation.

That slow transformation.
That living process.
That connection between nature, science, and intention.

Honestly… this would be a beautiful addition to my lineup.

But sorry to say… this is NOT one of the products coming next to Seasoned With Intention

You’ll have to stay tuned to see what’s coming.

In the meantime, here’s a traditional pine soda recipe made with honey and natural fermentation, rooted in patience, process, and the land itself.

Pine Needle Honey Soda (2–4 Servings)

Ingredients

* 1 packed cup fresh young pine needles
* 2 cups filtered water
* 2½ tbsp raw honey
* Juice of ½ lemon
* Small slice fresh ginger

Step-by-Step Directions

Step 1:

* Rinse pine needles well with filter water and vinegar
* Chop or bruise lightly with your hands or knife

This helps release the oils and flavor.

Step 2:

Add to mason jar:

* pine needles
* honey
* filtered water

Stir or shake until honey mostly dissolves.

Step 3:

* Cover with paper towel or cheesecloth

Let sit:

* on the counter
* indirect sunlight only
* about 2–3 days

I had the opportunity to forage and truly sit with ,
Pinus spp. not just as an ingredient, but as an experience.

Its scent.
Its texture.
It’s bitterness and brightness.

The way it feels in my hands, enters my mouth, and moves through my body.

I’m learning that sometimes before we create with an ingredient, we need to understand it first.

Not rush it.
Not force it.
Just sit with it.

Learn its medicinal history, its culinary possibilities, how it grows, what it carries, why people before us respected it so deeply, and why God instructed us with it.

Today I spent time foraging, learning, journaling, and working with Stinging Nettle.

Not just to make tea… but to better understand the relationship between plants, intentional living, and nourishment from what our Heavenly Father has given us, and our ancestors once used.

Stinging nettle is rich in minerals (iron, vitamin C, calcium protein) and has been traditionally used to support overall wellness, nourishment, and balance.

This experience reminded me that wellness doesn’t always have to be loud or complicated.

Sometimes it looks like:
Slowing down
Learning from the land
Respecting the process
And reconnecting to what naturally nourishes us
While creating something new!

This is a different kind of healing.
A different kind of education.
And honestly… a different kind of peace.

Come experience food in a whole new way.

At Move with the Mayor, I’ll be demonstrating how to create Sweet Spirit Energy Bites paired with a Butterfly Pea Lemonade/ dandelion mango lemonade, a vibrant, color-changing drink that blends nature, culture, and science.

You’ll see how simple, intentional ingredients found in one’s yard and in my intentional, healthy seasoning line can transform the way you eat and feel.

Something we’ve been learning every Tuesday through my virtual cooking classes.

Today is your day, Mamie Lee, a day I will never forget.

It’s funny how today, of all days, I’m doing something you taught me as a little girl, gardening. I’m starting to understand now how our ancestors guide us. I believe your ancestors guided you to learn, and you passed that wisdom down to me. And now, you’re still leading me from above, helping me grow, learn, and flourish as I continue becoming HER.

Thank you for being my light, my guide, and my foundation.

On this day, I honor you.
Happy Birthday, Queen.

Honored to be featured in a nationwide article with Black Health Matters speaking on something that doesn’t get talked about enough, living with Crohn’s disease in our community.

Food is more than nourishment for us. It’s culture, family, memories, and identity. So when your body starts rejecting what you grew up on, it’s not just physical, it’s emotional.

My goal is always to help people find “YOUR Version of Healthy “ without disconnecting from who they are. You don’t have to abandon your culture to heal, you just have to learn how to prepare it with intention.

Healing is not restriction, it’s alignment.

Read the full article and let me know what stood out to you.
