After a really bad work-related slip and fall on black ice in Denver, CO my blood pressure was high after almost every doctor visit.  I was experiencing extreme pain due to the fall. I had just moved to Colorado from California; I knew nothing about black ice as a southern girl. 

I was in fear of being diagnosed with high blood pressure and suffer or be placed on prescription medication like my late grandparents shown in the picture below. My Grandmother passed away in her 50s still young, and I don’t want that for myself or my children.

Currently my Mother and Father are recovering from high blood pressure. High blood pressure, sugar diabetes, heart disease and other harmful disease somehow finds it’s way into many communities across the United States of America. 

There were not many organic options in my hometown New Orleans, Louisiana. Most importantly, we didn’t have the knowledge to know that herbs were helping to heal the human body. My family had to depend on prescription medication, strict diets and daily exercise, just like many others.    

I can say Colorado is a health-conscious State that has many organic options, so I started to do some research on organic herbs. 

After my research, study and also trying the herbs on many different recipes as shown on our Instagram page @neworleansmgk. I couldn’t understand if the herbs were working, why wasn’t people using them? I quickly came to the realization as I prepared the recipes they all have their own unique flavor. It was no walk in the park to learn which was good for each recipe. I then blend the selective herbs to create this delicious cajun flavor we all can use on almost any recipes in order to help others on their journey. Our goal is to ensure everyone is getting nutrients the body needs inside of every meal.
