If you like to cook or eat,
we probably should meet!
Here’s where I don’t agree with Dr. Oz…. You want to make sure each meal contains foods from each of the three vital categories: protein, fiber and healthy fats. Ok. I get that. But really… what are you recommending? (Look at how he’s leaning forward looking not so happy now)! lol Protein Cheese Chicken Eggs Fish … Read more
I tell you to ‘read your labels’… But here’s a question for ya: What do the labels mean? Need Help with reading your labels? As CEO & Founder of several nationwide brands, I enjoy the benefits of regular newsletters from the National Association of Specialty Foods. Most years, I walk the Fancy Food Show in San … Read more
As a Chef, I often time tell you about events and festivals. But one of the things I have ‘missed’ is the Free Music at the Library! Probably because I didn’t know there was free music at the library…. but on a beautiful Saturday afternoon I got invited out….. and in retrospect, it was a … Read more
Romano’s Macaroni Grill Allergen Free? Many MANY moons ago, I remember Romano’s Macaroni Grill Grand Opening in Las Vegas on West Sahara. These were platters, (not plates) of food, mountains of food served to each person, in typical over the top abundance of Vegas style. Fast forward two, maybe three decades…..

So, you’re not going to sell me your product…. … Read more

So I’m used to high quality, low sugared chocolate to begin with. Even when I junk out with an Almond Joy, it’s not an … Read more
My brilliant friend Jonathan recently lent me a DVD of a movie called ‘Forks over Knives’. It was the perfect movie to see at this time in my life. As you my recall, I’ve been working on lowering my cholesterol without medication. I did a ‘cleanse’ of sorts thru the holiday and beyond by sticking … Read more
There’s an incredibly good community supporting Folkey Monkey….. an event coordinated regularly by Joe Rathburn. Tonight’s event was a final goodbye to the church they have occupied for quite some time. And I understand that they are moving to somewhere that is going to take a lot of expense to bring the venue to where … Read more
Do you know this unassuming woman? Not the exhausted one from a ‘move’ I’ve done in the last two weeks…. the one to the right…. the light, young wisp of a woman with a powerhouse of ideas that created Healthy Creations ~ in both Encinitas and their Organic Kitchen in Vista?
