My trip to Washington State to take part in the grape harvest and tour a Welch’s juice processing plant was paid for by Welch’s. I was not compensated to write this post. All thoughts are my own. American Heart Month is coming to a close, though really we should be eating in a way to […]

Happy new year! Hope everyone’s year is off to a great start! I’ve unplugged a bit over the holidays so I can spend more time with my family and recharge my own batteries. It felt good to take a break and now I’m pumped to dive back into work. There are some exciting things on […]
Recipe Redux – Potato Rolls
November 21, 2014 by 12 Comments
This month’s Recipe Redux theme, in honor of Thanksgiving, is a food memory for which we are thankful and then a healthy “redo” of that recipe. This was pretty easy for me to come up with an idea as one memory and food jumps out at me this time of year. My family has always made potato rolls […]

Happy Memorial Day! It is hard to adequately put into words the gratitude I feel for those who have sacrificed so much to protect our country. Last week was a whirlwind.

Recipe Redux – Roasted Dill Carrots
April 21, 2014 by 8 Comments
This month’s theme for Recipe Redux is treasured cookware – some sort of inherited cookware from a loved one with a healthy recipe to go along with it. My grandmother, Mima, passed away 18 years ago Easter weekend, which was coincidentally one of her favorite holidays. Her passing had a profound impact on me, and still […]
