Nichelle Newsletter January 2024 Substack

I had a lightbulb moment this morning. I have been blogging/writing online for twenty years. However, I have lost content because I have moved from Blogger to Typepad to WordPress with stops to Tumblr and Squarespace. I pay good money to maintain this site so I better use it.

I have been posting weekly over at Substack. Here are the posts for January 2024.

January 2: Collard Greens and Hoppin John

January 9: Joyful January

January 17: Let Them Cook

January 23: Stash A Cake

January 30: If I May Be Frank, Where’s The Beef

Nichelle Newsletter Plus

Nichelle Newsletter

Hey Friends,

I started Nichelle Newsletter over three years ago. I use Substack to publish this newsletter. I have been writing about food and culture on a weekly basis bringing readers news, recipes, tidbits that they can only find in my content.

This week I am launching a premium (paid) version of my newsletter. If you are like me, you have probably paused or even cancel subscriptions to some of the streaming services, because they are not giving what you want. Well, I may not be Netflix or Hulu Plus, but I am offering information about food trends, how to reduce food waste, recipes, and photos of delicious food that will make your mouth water. Here’s the link to subscribe to Nichelle Newsletter. It is only $5/month or $50/year.

Why CAn’T WE BE BITCHES WITH HORSes

Yesterday, I saw this TikTok video from Curly Velasquez. I don’t know them personally, but I know he works with my friend Alexis at Pero, Like. This video is my motivation. Celebrating my friends’ success makes me feel good.

The latest edition of my food and culture newsletter, Nichelle Newsletter is up. It’s between fake fall and second summer. I don’t know why I know so many people who are celebrating a birthday today, but I guess I have a lot of Libras in my life.

It Was The THIrd Of September

Hi ya’ll. We are sweating our way toward Labor Day weekend.

Check out the latest edition of my food and culture newsletter, Nichelle Newsletter. This edition features potato salad, poultry plants and salt for white people.

In addition, check out my podcast Nichelle Newsletter podcast. I talk about seasoning your food.

I am posting again on my personal finance and fintech blog, Keeping Nickels.

Chicken, Chicken

It’s high Leo season. This week is my mom’s, my sister’s and my aunt’s birthdays. My birthday isn’t until November, but I have to skip it. This is not a great year for celebrations and gatherings.

Anyway, I cooked some chicken on Saturday. This morning, I cooked some onion and garlic hotdogs that I got from 920 Cattle & Company. They’re a farm based in Statesboro and they come down every week to sell at Forsyth Farmers’ Market.

I published the latest edition of Nichelle Newsletter. It’s a good one. It includes to links to Black people in the food and drink world that you haven’t heard of. Check out my Bookshop list, too.

End Of July

Today I hit publish on another issue of Nichelle Newsletter. Please take a moment to read.

There’s been no Christmas in July. Civil rights leader and representative John Lewis passed away. He means so much to the people of Atlanta and Selma, Alabama. He was Obama’s hero. It’s sad. His colleagues in Washington should do everything to restore the Voting Rights Act to its full strength.

This past week, I have been listening to Jenifer Lewis‘ memoir, The Mother of Black Hollywood. It was so good to hear her narration. I am looking to find another book that I will enjoy on Audible.com

I have been posting a lot of photos on Instagram and I have been enjoying taking photos around Savannah. Follow me on Instagram.
