If you like to cook or eat,
we probably should meet!
November top of mind for most of us is: Feeding People over the Holidays. Unexpected guests and yummy leftovers can easily happen by adding simple things like more bread to stuffing, more sweet potatoes to sweet potato pie. You will find yourself cooking for not the 12 coming, but the imaginary 24, giving you a chance … Read more

Hey! If you didn’t come to see What the Health Movie and attend the Pre-Party, you really, really missed it!

Or maybe you’re like me, without a special someone in your life right now. But let’s make a pact: to Deck the Halls and be strong this holiday by … Read more
You can keep creating Thanksgiving Flavors all this month. I was watching ‘The Chew’…. (yes I have been watching that lately)… and I think it was Mario, or was it Michael… who stuffed a turkey burger with stuffing? Now, I have a vegan daughter and a son who eats anything that isn’t tied down. And … Read more
I was wondering about freezing vegetables. My first concern was: ‘If I buy organic Kale at Costco, am I losing nutrients’?
