On her blog, she shares some of her secrets that helped her develop favorites like her spicy chicken and corn pepper soup, beef suya on baked mosa and her steam vegetable omelet. She focuses on using all-natural whole foods and ingredients, and aims to get readers excited about living a healthy lifestyle.
