Everyone knows that I TRY to eat a little healthier, so when I come across a yummy recipe with a healthy twist, I like to share it! I found this one years ago in a cookbook from The National Council of Negro Women's Black Family Cookbook. It was the recipe I used when I first attempted to make my greens without the tradtional smoked pork. I have to say, it was quite YUMMY! Yummy enough where I have been doing it like this for the past 20 years. Enjoy!
Melba’s Collard Greens and Turkey Wings
3 pounds fresh collard greens
About 2 cups water
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 pound smoked turkey wings
1-2 tablespoons sugar
pepper
Garlic powder
Salt-substitute seasoning
Soak and wash collard greens. Remove all grit, remove hard stems. Place greens together in small bunches. Roll together. Cut crosswise into wide strips.
Place greens, water, onion, and turkey wings in large pot. Season with sugar, pepper, garlic and salt-substitute seasoning.
Cook until greens are soft and tender.

Ms. Majestique's list of 10 FUN FREE Things to do this Summer!

Ms. Majestique's list of 10 FUN FREE Things to do this Summer!
1- Go see a movie! Yes, FREE! It’s my favorite thing to do! Contact your local theater to see if they offer free kids movies during the summer! If they do, let me warn you… eat a big breakfast and get there about 30 minutes early. The lines can be long! And be prepared for the crying babies and other shananagins. But really, who cares.. it’s FREE!
2- Take a HIKE! … Visit your local park and walk the trail. Take pictures, collect leaves, see if you can find any animals hiding in the bushes!
3- Play double-dutch or catch! Bring the old school back! Teach them that it doesn’t have to have an on and off switch to be fun!
4- Go for a Bike Ride. Lots of parks are bike friendly! If your family is a biking one… make an afternoon of it! You get plenty of fresh air, sunshine. Exercise and the children will sleep better that night!
5- Visit a museum! Most of them are free! So, pack a cooler for afterwards and head to the nearest museum! Most museums are kid friendly and may even offer a scavenger hunt for them! Call ahead to see. If not, make your own!
6- See who’s serving dinner for FREE! Most restaurants have a “Kids Eat Free Night”… have your child surf the net for who’s serving what for FREE! Make a calendar and viola… FREE DINNER… (for the kids) and a No Cook Zone night for you!
7- Have a Tea Party… complete with cookies and Lemonade! For boys.. have a Soda Mixer! (Same concept as a Tea Party.. just use kids frosty mugs and pretzels.- allow scratching and plenty of burping to make it fun!)
8- If you have a pool in your backyard or neighborhood …. that’s awesome! ENJOY. If not, consider the good old fashioned sprinkler system or a fun water balloon fight! Aim low! We don’t want any trips to the E.R.
9- Arts and Crafts! Use whatever you have laying around the house!... Macaroni, rice, beans, paper, glue, sissors, and paint. Spread out the newspaper and let them be creative! You’ll be surprised at what they come up with! Just be prepared to put it on display.
10-Head to your local library for story time! Just call ahead to see if and when they offer it!
So, now that I’ve started you on your way… this will keep the children busy for at least a week…. It’s up to you to find something for next week! If you find anything else that’s fun and FREE….. let me know!
Good Luck and Have a GREAT Summer!!!

Time Management 101 for the SUPER Busy Mom & Entrepreneur!

Time Management 101 for the SUPER Busy Mom & Entrepreneur!
Greetings to all of my Majestique Friends!!!
I know personally one of challenges of being a business woman/entrepreneur and a WAHM (Work at home mom) is getting and staying organized with your space and your time! Yep... I've been accused of being an organized mess! So, I've spent ample time getting organized and TRYING to stay that way. My challenge is that I have a business that has 3 different focuses... Event Planning (props), Gift Baskets...(more props) and my spa line (supplies supplies and more supplies). Add that to a CRAZY ACTIVE 10 year old girl and the normal hub bub of any house (dance classes, activities, socializing, cooking, cleaning)... and you have INSTANT CHAOS which will leave you pulling your hair out and frazzled beyond words! SO, I thought it would be helpful, if I asked a few of my good friends to chip in and gave their tips on getting and staying organized with your time and business! I'll start...
1- This helps the most for me... I do not leave my house without a LIST!!!! AND, I take time to actually plan my errands... in a clockwise direction... YES, it saves TIME! By eliminating left turns when you can... you shave off TONS of time from errand running!!!
2- I write EVERYTHING down. Ok, I'm the post it queen... and at the end of the day, I take all of my post it's and jot them into my book so I can organize my day and week.
3- May sound corny, but I even plan my meals... (no wonder I'm an event planner)... again, saves time at the store, and less stress come dinner time.
4- I toss junk mail immediately! Don't worry, they will send MORE!
5- EVERYTHING in my office is now in clear storage boxes with labels.... that's ALOT of boxes. LOL
6- I've opted for a delivery service that will pick up my packages for a FREE (USPS)... (less money than the gas I'd have to use to go drop it off! LOL) This saves me about 45 minutes in a day...If I have to drop off, I'll do it without making a left turn. :-)
7. Get into a routine. If it’s possible, where it’s possible. If you have children, it helps a lot for them as well. With lots of practice, and maybe a few adult temper tantrums, your house can run as a well oiled machine.
LAST... I continue to take baby steps.... I try to be realistic about my day... what can I REALLLLLY get done in a day, What NEEDS to be done today and what can wait until tomorrow or next week. We’ve all heard it… Our short term goals vs. our long term goals.
So... jump in and share!!! Maybe we can learn something from each other!!! A few tips I’ve received from my Majestique friends include…
1. Like you I have post it’s everywhere.
2. I read my mail over the trash can, yep no need to hold on to junk mail, other stuff gets shredded.
3. Grocery shopping online - this has been a God send. Do I REALLY need to find somewhere to park, stand in line, deal with the folks who leave their carts in the middle of the lane...NO!
4. Getting some help around the house. Hired someone from a reputable company to help out with the household chores.
5. Eliminate time wasters- people and things. Cut them out! That is the biggest thing to being organized- time management. If folks can't respect your time- cut them out of your life like weeds and what your little garden grow-organized and beautiful!
6. Random emails- respond to those you need to, mark for follow up or unread those that can wait.
7. I keep most of my tasks list and info in MS Outlook. At first the popups drove me crazy, but they were necessary to keep me on track.
8. I also have a pocket calendar and I always carry around a 5x7 notepad so when people call when I'm on the road, I can jot down things quick, fast, and in a hurry, so I won't forget.
9. Like Ms. Majestique, I make sure that I plan my route before I leave the house and drive in a circular motion. My son thought I was crazy, but now that he's driving and having to pay for gas, I see him picking up on it real fast!
10. Thank God for teenagers!! I got them a chore calendar and everyone knows what and when to do what for around the house... I hardly touch a dish or vacuum anymore, hallelujah! And honey, gets a honey do list, too, to help out...
11. Another great tip to share would be delegation. We always are trying to be superwoman and don't realize that many times, by holding on to some tasks that we should let go, we are preventing ourselves from moving to the next level.
So, it feels good to see some duplicates… it makes me feel like I’m on the right track!!! I’ve already incorporated a few of the ideas into my daily routine! I certainly hope this helps you out as well!!!!

Majestique Cookout Recipes!!! ~ Citrus Balsamic Grill Chicken & Zesty Italian Vinaigrette!

EASY, QUICK and Delicious!
This is a tradition with my family especially when we're on holiday and a great alternative to the "regular" BBQ chicken! It's tasty with a zing!!! No perservatives!
Citrus Balsamic Grill
(4 servings)
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/4cup Worcestershire sauce
3 tbsps balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp. Chopped garlic
2 ½lbs chicken (thawed)
Combine all ingredients and mix well
marinate chicken for 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator
Grill when ready!!!
(I usually make cuts through the middle of the raw chicken to ensure thorough seasoning and doneness!)
Another GREAT Marinade Recipe to Try...
Zesty Italian Vinaigrette
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp. Minced fresh garlic
1 tsp. Dried parsley flakes
¾ tsp. Sugar
¾ tsp. Dry mustard
1 tsp. Salt
1/8 tsp. Ground pepper

Keep refrigerated for up to 4 weeks.
Variation- Add ¼ cup soy sauce to recipe and use as marinade for fish and poultry.

Barbecued Seitan Ribz (Just for Toni!)

Hi Guys.. here's a recipe I tried for Vegan BBQ Ribs from FatFreeVegan.com!!! I'm not a vegan but I do not eat pork or beef... so this was the next thing! Pretty interesting.. and tasty! Also, try MorningStar Hickory BBQ Riblets!
Thanks to Julie Hasson for featuring this recipe on Everyday Dish. Be sure to check out her video!
Barbecued Seitan Ribz
Like Veggeroni, this seitan is baked dry rather than boiled. The results are a little spongier than Veggeroni, less dense, but I think the texture is perfect for absorbing the flavor of the barbecue sauce. You'll be amazed at how easy this recipe comes together using your favorite bottled sauce.
1 cup vital wheat gluten
2 teaspoons smoked Spanish paprika
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 cup water
2 tablespoons tahini or other nut butter
1 teaspoon Liquid Smoke
1 tablespoon soy sauce
about 1 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce
Preheat the oven to 350 and lightly spray an 8x8 baking dish with canola oil. Mix the first 5 ingredients together in a large bowl. Mix the water with the nut butter, Liquid Smoke, and soy sauce and add it to the dry ingredients. Stir to mix well and then knead lightly in the bowl for a couple of minutes.
Put the dough into the baking dish and flatten it so that it evenly fills the pan. Take a sharp knife and cut it into 8 strips; then turn the pan and cut those strips in half to form 16 pieces:
Put it in the oven and bake for 25 minutes. While it's cooking prepare your grill.
Remove it from the oven and carefully re-cut each strip, going over each cut to make sure that the ribz will pull apart easily later. Generously brush the top with barbecue sauce. Take it to the grill and invert the whole baking dish onto the grill (or use a large spatula to lift the seitan out, placing it sauce-side down on the grill). Brush the top of the seitan with more sauce:
Watch it closely to make sure that it doesn't burn. When it's sufficiently brown on one side, turn over and cook the other side, adding more sauce, if necessary. When done, remove to a platter and cut or pull apart the individual ribs to serve.

Rock The Bells Concert Series Rocks Bells!

July 27- Rock the Bells concert series in Columbia, MD!!!
YES!!!!! We made the voyage from Raleigh, NC to Maryland for this historic MEGA concert series and YES SIIIIRRRRR! It was well worth the trip!!! Over 35,000 people from every race & culture were in attendance...and it was beautiful!!! NO DRAMA!!! The artists delivered powerful performances which took you back to the beginning of Hip Hop up to today!!! SuperNatural (who by the way holds the Genius Book of World Records title for free style rapping for over an hour) hosted the event!!! He blazed the mic between sets and had a ball doing so!!! I've had the pleasure of seeing him step out into the audience and include what ever items were held up into his rhyme!! Amazing! This brother is blessed with skills!
Opening the show was MURS... a brother out of LA who delivered hot beats and hot rhymes!!! His energy was outstanding and his performance was on point as well!!! Following him was out of DC. Again, another blazing performance!
Next was the TURN OFF THE RADIO kings... DEAD PREZ (M-1 and Stic Man) with the political fire filled lyrics they are known for. Like they say... it's bigger than HIP HOP!!! The crowd jumped and shouted as they led one of their most loved hits.
Immortal Technique blazed the stage next... again, spitting truth about life, politics and hip hop.... definitely a crowd pleaser with the acapella flow they demonstrated along with some HOT beats laced with verbal swords!!!
Next it was time to take a journey in time with RAKIM!!! Okay… I’ve always been a fan of Rakim… but seeing him up there rocking the mic… spitting lyrics.. took me back to the wop, my bamboo name earrings and 1987!!!! Not only did he kick the Rakim classics, but he put down his new joints as well!!! AND we have even more MAD love for Rakim, because he did acknowledge that there were children present, and announced that he would not do “certain” songs because they were too graphic with profanity.. his purpose.. To respect the shorties. Gotta love a brother for that!
RAEKWON & GHOSTFACE KILLAH were next to Rock the Bells!!! As prominent members of the WUTANG CLAN…they held it down while giving homage and respect to their lost soldier ODB (Old Dirty Bastard)… they ripped the mic and blessed the crowd with some of our favorites such as C.R.E.A.M. and new tracks from their forthcoming CD “Only Built for Cuban Linx II” which will release in the fall.
Taking us back to “Potholes” and “Me Myself and I” were none other than DE LA SOUL!!! DLS delivered an OUTSTANDING performance!!! The ENERGY was through the roof!!! And to our surprise and delight, Q-TIP made a special appearance which sent the crowd into a mad frenzy!! This was no doubt one of the hottest performances that night.
Okay… I know all the ladies want to know about their “baby daddies!” REDMAN & M-E-T-H-O-D MAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNN!!! What’s to say??? They put the damn thing down!!!! We shook our “Stankin’ Azzes”… We got chased by the Rockwalla… We got to tell Red and Meth “F” YOU!!! Cause you know “Red will BE THAT”… We Got “DIRTY”…. We “Shimmy Ya’ll Shimmy Yeah-ed” Basically, we lost our minds!!! The two also announced they are working on HOW HIGH 2 at the end of the year. So be on the look out!!! As always… it was a divine TREAT to see the WuTang Two in ACTION!!!! While Method surfed one side of the crowd… Red walked the other!!! Giving personal attention to their fans!!! ONE HOT PERFORMANCE!! Did I tell you, the crowd lost their minds!!! And what a treat…. Special guest DJ KOOL blazed his all time favorite hit “Let me Clear My Throat!”…. that joint rocked that same as it did back at Bahaman Bay in Philly!!! All the way LIVE!
MOS DEF was in the house as well!!!! A true artist - his performance was beyond words.
The crowd gave him MAD love as he performed some of his hottest tracks and gave love to his DJ by letting him rock the crowd B’More style! Following closely was THE PHARCYDE! Blazin’ with the original four members…They too delivered an outstanding slammin’ performance!!! But nothing could prepare us for what NAS had to deliver!!!! Talk about off the hook… NAS handled the stage with reverence… spittin’ his new material from his forth coming and VERY controversial CD… “Untitled” He couldn’t leave the stage without Ruling the World and BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVE HEARRRRRRRRRRT!!! He left us on Fire!
LAST but well worth the wait was TRIBE CALLED QUEST!!!!! Opening for them with a few of his solo hits was none other than Q-TIP!!! It was the perfect serve to an incredible and vibrant!!! Mos Def joined Q-Tip for his solo time… and helped set the tone for what was absolutely one of the HOTTEST most ENERGETIC performances of the evening!!! TCQ ripped, they blazed, they tore it up, down and over!!! Well worth the 11 hour wait in the hot sun & rain!!! Well worth the trip from NC to MD… well worth the itchy grass and minor sun burn. I’d do it all again in a BRAVE HEARRRT Beat!
True Love for Ol’ Skool HIP HOP!!! You’re the Love of my Life!

Quiet Sundays! ~ Finding Focus

Quiet Sundays….Finding Focus
Good Morning!! Today is Sunday… my quiet day.. or atleast it is supposed to be quiet. But with children… it doesn’t work that way all of the time!
Most Sundays, I get up around 7am (while everyone is still asleep) Light my Majestique Candle… (Vineyard Seascape, Total Spa or Grapefruit Splash are my favorites from www.MajestiqueSpa.com ) Shower (peacefully), dress in a light flowing and loose fitting garment and just sit still.. meditate… breathe. Take in all of the beautiful energy of a Sunday morning.. rain or shine. I do a breathing exercise that calms, centers and energizes.
Sitting still- back straight, seated on the floor or chair (indoors or out)
Take deep breath in for 4 counts, Hold for 4 counts, exhale for 4 counts and hold for 4 counts.
Repeat as many times as needed.
While doing this exercise….when inhaling… try to inhale positive thoughts…positive energy… positive images… positive feelings.. The Spirit of GOD.
When exhaling… exhale all of the negative…energy, thoughts, feelings and images…..(that other dude that attacks daily)
Believe it or not… it works. It helps me be able to clear my mind and relax…allowing me to think “lightly” about my week ahead. A nice cup of Tea always helps… (I recommend a blend from www.NotJustTea.com. )
If you don’t already have a Quiet Sunday routine.. try it out, and tell me how you feel afterwards.
PEACE!!! & Blessings!
Ms. Majestique

What's That UR Reading???
Ok.. people who know me.. know I LOVEEEEEEEEE a good book. I love books to educate you about history, culture & world affairs… but my all time favorites… ha haaaa.. are the down and dirty… (not “naassssty dirty”.. but durty….action packed.. drama filled… can’t put it down so eat some cereal for dinner… eye rubbing… all night reading GOOOOOD books. I LOVE novels by my fellow Black authors who know how to put a spin on words and have you dreaming about the characters!! So, with that being said.. I figured I’d let you know what’s hot! and what’s not… of course, these are my own opinions!!!
If you’ve never heard of Wahida Clark… I suggest you google her! This is a sister.. who while in prison.. wrote and successful sold not 1… or 2 but if I’m not mistaken 4 novels AND STILL GOING STRONG. (Talk about overcoming your odds!!! OMG.. I’m so proud of her) They are Street… they are gutter But OMG… they are some Goooooood reads. She is a Number 1 Essence Best Selling Author.. and she is on point when it comes to “street novels..”… I believe she’s been crowned the Queen…. and a NJ native!!!
I read the first book… THUGS AND THE WOMEN WHO LOVE THEM” in 3 days… the sequel, “EVERY THUG NEEDS A LADY” I bought to read on the plan coming home from Hawaii… ok, didn’t happen.. I read it in 2 days… and as soon as I got home…. order and express shipped the 3rd in the series… “THUG MATRIMONY”… another read in 3 days!!! WHEW.. ACTION… DRAMA….. MYSTERY…. ok, yeah.. there’s some steamyyyyyyyyyy hot scenes… but WOW.. talk about a book that puts you in the middle of it all. She also has a second set of books… unrelataed to the Thug series.. but the same type of story.. “PAYBACK IS A MUTHA” and “PAYBACK WITH YA LIFE”…. read them both! HOT like FIRE!
Now, some people may say… “my goodness… why do you read such novels…” and “oh my… the content is SOOOO graphic and the language is so harsh”… yep, it is.. but to me.. it’s just like watching the movies we watch… just more details. I like the books because it shows a side a life, a lot of us don’t see… (some of us don’t wish to see)… and a side of life most of us don’t understand. I love Ms. Clarks books.. because she keeps it VERY real. Basically… You can be in “the life”… you can have alllllllll the money jewels…. cars.. .but there IS a price to pay??? How many of you are willing to pay it…. She deals with ALLLL issues.. abuse, black on black crime, down-low “thugs”, AIDS, depression, self esteem…. All of it!! And there’s no sugar coating it! She gives it to you raw!!!
So… if you’re up for a GOOD READ… and some REAL raw Drama.. pick up a copy of her book and tell me what you think!!!
You can check her out at http://www.myspace.com/wahidaclark
Holla at me… ya heard? (lol)
