Healthifying My Life Update
Posted on January 29, 2010 - Filed Under Thoughts | 3 Comments
This week, I was featured on MomTrends as part of the site’s Fit Mom series. When I received the email from Nicole Feliciano, who writes MomTrends, that my profile was up, I was a little giddy. Not only did Nicole say some nice things, but it was an amazing feeling to show off my successful [...]

On December 31, my mother eagerly asked what resolutions I was going to make for 2010. Honestly, I hadn’t even thought about it yet. Sure, it was New Year’s Eve, but I just wasn’t ready to resolve anything yet. I didn’t really give her an answer.
Now, it’s January 15. Whew. I guess I am off [...]

The end is the beginning is the end …
The end of the year is always an interesting time. People turn introspective, looking back on the past year. Evaluating. Discussing. Hey, I do it myself and usually I write about it too. But this year, I wanted to take a different approach.
See, I could write a [...]
Food Trend Predictions for 2010
Posted on December 30, 2009 - Filed Under Thoughts | 3 Comments
Usually, at the end of the year, I do a few year-end wrap ups. I really didn’t want to do days and days of that this year (there will be a fun list post tomorrow though!). So, this year I decided to do it a little differently.
Every year, many publications put out lists of what [...]
An Open Letter to Mother Nature

Dearest Mother Nature,
I am a big fan of your work–Brandywine tomatoes? Genius! Basil, rosemary and lavender? Amazing. Tulips, lilacs and forsythia? Lovely. So, it’s with the deepest appreciation that I write to you. Really, I think you are great at your job.
But recently, I’ve been really concerned. You’re erratic behavior lately has me downright worried. [...]
Goodbye, Gourmet
Posted on October 6, 2009 - Filed Under Thoughts | 4 Comments
The post I had planned for today on my canning activities over the weekend will now appear tomorrow.
When I heard the news this morning about Conde Nast’s decision about Gourmet magazine, I was heartbroken. Gourmet is the apex of quality food writing – having lived, breathed and exuded all things food since 1940. It [...]

Let’s take a break from cooking for just one day. I really want to tell you about what I did today, but I will forewarn you — I was invited to this event, a product launch. It’s not something that I generally talk about on this blog, but it was a great event at a [...]

Readers who’ve been with me for awhile might remember that I shared my 100 things list a few months ago just before the new year. This is a list I started a few years ago and keep updating with new goals and accomplishments. Basically, it’s all the things I want to do in my lifetime. [...]

… You’ve got to make the morning la-ast!
The 59th Street Bridge Song by Simon and Garfunkel could be the anthem for my life. I’m always on — from 5 a.m. when Paige wakes to nurse until 12:30 a.m. when I finish the last of my freelance work, I am going. I can’t say I am [...]
My 2008 New Years Resolutions

Happy New Year!
Do you make resolutions? I do. Every year. I don’t necessarily keep them every year though. Wish I could say that I did, but honestly like most people I fall away from the resolutions after a few weeks or months.
But this year is different. My resolutions are grounded in things that I really [...]
