What’s Happening in September
It’s going to be a Sizzlin’ September. You all know by now that I’m a huge proponent of home cooked food. I share my passion for food and cooking in a number of ways throughout the community. I dunno why but somehow I keep being asked to cater events. This month, I have three catering events, yes, catering events.
Hey, I don’t want to block my blessings. So, If the universe wants me to cater, I’ll cater. As of now, I’m offering my catering services to close friends and family. Subject to change just like the seasons.
I’m thrilled. Honored. Humbled. I’ve been asked by a friend of a friend to cater her wedding with 60 guests in late September.
There’s lots of prepping and cooking to do this month. Of course, I’ll share photos.

Chrisetta Mosley
I am a product – and now a survivor – of childhood obesity. As a child, my family always told me that my extra weight was merely baby fat and I’d eventually grow out of it. I never did. Instead, my childhood is filled with memories of not being able to ride a bike, flattening its training wheels from being over the recommended weight, and avoiding P.E. classes by any means necessary. For years, I wore my fatness like a wounded soldier wears a Purple Heart - with pride. I owned the look. I dressed it up. I worked the room. There wasn't a skinny girl who intimidated me. I made sure my hair was laid just right. Nails polished. Outfits coordinated to the tee. Accessories to compliment every outfit. But everyone has a breaking point, and mine came in the spring of 2004 when I tipped the scale at nearly 400 pounds 388 to be exact. I was MISERABLE trapped inside of that body. I no longer wore my Purple Heart with pride. Rather, I was ashamed and frightened. Ashamed that I had allowed food to become my everything – frightened I would die because of it. Drastic times called for drastic measures... Today, I’m bound and determined to live a better, healthier, active lifestyle. I realize I’m no longer a passenger in my life, I’m the driver. I’m overcoming my inhibitions and I’m slowly but surely saying farewell to my old childhood nemesis, obesity. For once and for all, Farewell Fatso!
