After I see more and more news about blacks being shot down by police, or hear stories about blacks receiving higher mortgage rates, the KKK planning rallies to keep the Confederate flag I become frustrated and feel lost. Recently, I saw a video about black students stomping the American flag. This new challenge is called the Eric Shepphard Challenge. During the video I hear the white news reporter say something along the lines of if you don’t like it you can leave.

As I go through this recipe I will give you some hints on how to make it your own.  The kitchen should be where you can have fun.  Don’t be afraid of swaying from a recipe or substituting ingredients.  Being creative in the kitchen can be fun and you learn to adapt and overcome obstacles.
