So here we are at the holiday’s end. The fun has blown over. How? That fast really? It always happens that way and when all is said and done we go back to work and school feeling kind of funky. But, there is no need for that because our blessings are more exciting everyday than…
Living in NYC doesn’t always make me feel “at home”. It isn’t always the coziest and it’s sometimes too boisterous for my granny like nature. But what I did realize coming back after the holiday was that it allows me to really focus and hone in on me. I get to pick from dozens of…

Pack and repeat. Car rides and unloads. Vegan gluten free and all natural food coloring. Does it make sense? I feel like it’s been ages since I wrote! I was in an LA time warp for two weeks and could not find a quiet moment when I wasn’t dozing off to write. In fact, now…

A podcast by host Ray Delucci of Line Cook Thoughts Listen Here I love the concept of Ray Delucci’s podcast this week on Line Cook Thoughts. He brings attention to the concept of authenticity and what it means to him. It’s challenging to…
