I came across this and had to share. Quick videos on cooking – makes life so much easier! And answers so many questions. Use this as a way to simplify things, learn something new or get more comfortable in the kitchen. If I could choose a resolution for you for 2015, it would be to cook more of … Read more →

20 years ago, my best friend told me it was good luck to say “rabbit rabbit” as your first words on the first day of the month…and for 20 years I have kept the tradition alive. Today is December 1st – so Rabbit Rabbit!!! It is actually a real thing (google says so) and don’t fret if you did not say … Read more →

Wowza! New Years Day is in 37 days. The holiday season is officially here! It is time to celebrate, spend time with people you love, have a few days off of work, enjoy the many holiday parties, let the alcohol pour, splurge on sweets which seem to be everywhere…and there are too many reasons to avoid eating right … Read more →
