Hello, dear friends. In these confusing and uncertain times, there are bright spots. For me, I am enjoying the quality time with my family, especially meal time where we are connecting in such a special way. I am also blown away by the community that I have between my social media channels, ...
Dinner Planner – Week of March 23rd, 2020
If we don't have our health and safety, we have nothing. We will get through this, I am sure. I am looking for the positive in all this and not looking too far forward. I am trying not to overthink the "what ifs" because that will cause me to lose sleep and that's going to do the opposite of help ...
Dinner Planner – Week of March 16th, 2020
Oh, friends. This too shall pass. BUT, we all have to do our part so this passes quickly. Doing our part means social distancing, trying to stay healthy, not hoarding resources at the stores and generally taking this seriously. I am taking the position that if I don't need to go out, I'm not ...

I figure you might need a dinner planner more than ever right now! Many people I have talked to are limiting travel, going out to restaurants and events with large numbers of people. Let's cook at home! For my online cooking class students, I am going live on our private FB page tomorrow ...
Dinner Planner – Week of March 2nd, 2020
March already!! My mother has been visiting me this week and I told her, "you're almost out of the woods!" Which means, winter is almost over for those who have a winter. It's an East Coast thing, I guess. She said, "don't jinx it!" She's quite right since there have been plenty of snowstorms ...
Dinner Planner – Week of February 24th, 2020
This week is the beginning of Lent. My mother used to make us give up something for the 40 days of Lent. We thought we were funny by saying we'd give up liver (ugh, she actually made it!) or boiled Brussels sprouts. After a lot of back and forth, my mother would ask us to give up bickering with ...

It's Modernism Week in Palm Springs - my husband's favorite week of the year. So Mr. Picky and I are accompanying him for the long weekend. My son has been going to house tours, lectures, and vintage shopping with us in the desert for the past 6 years. He's such a trooper. The weather seems to ...

Happy Weekend! I have just started working on booking locations and dates for my book tour. What I'd really, really love most of all is to meet you! Please let me know where you are and I'll see if I can stop in your town. Email me if you'd like to invite me to speak at your school or community ...

I had a long but great week! Something that I will share with you and only you since you are reading this is that I just filmed a few on-demand classes for the Food Network Kitchen App!! I mean, talk about a dream come true! Teaching healthy recipes is my bread and butter, so to speak. It's ...

Eeeek! My older daughter came home on Friday night for a visit this weekend and I completely forgot to press send on the dinner planner! So sorry! I had a great week this week. I am feeling better every day although that cough will come back between 8-10 pm every night if I talk too much. I ...
