Looking for me? You may have noticed that I haven’t been active on the blog here for a while. That is because I launched My Menu Pal last year with my good friend and colleague, Lesley Baradel. My Menu Pal is the culmination of our passion for menu planning and recipe development, just taken to […]
Recipe Redux – Beef and Bean Taco Meat
March 21, 2015 by 1 Comment
This month’s Recipe Redux is Two For One. The idea being you cook once and eat twice. I do this all the time – finding ways to repurpose leftovers into another meal. My children are rather picky about eating leftovers so if I make extra of something, I have to find multiple ways of using […]
Grapes for Heart Health

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 […]

And we are already half-way through November! I’ve been remiss again on posting my menu plans. I’ve had a loose plan in my head the past few weeks, but jam-packed weekend activities, time with family, and lots of work testing out recipes for My Menutrition have put my blogging on the back burner a bit along […]

By posting this recipe I am entering a recipe contest sponsored by the National Pasta Association and I am eligible to win prizes associated with the contest. I was not compensated for my time. There are many things to love about October such as pumpkins, leaves turning colors and pasta. Yes, pasta. After all, October […]
Facing Food Fears
October 10, 2014 by 3 Comments
I am a consultant to various food and beverage companies, including the Corn Refiners Association, though all thoughts and opinions are my own. Fear is persuasive, it sells. It seems everywhere we look there is another sensational headline warning consumers of the dangers of a particular food or ingredient. Food is an emotional and often passionate topic, and […]
The Case Against Sugar Policies
July 18, 2014 by 2 Comments
I am a consultant to various food and beverage companies though all thoughts and opinions are my own. It seems like every day the media reports on a new study about sugar, high fructose corn syrup or a new proposed policy restricting the consumption of caloric sweeteners. Are these policies based on credible science? Or are […]
Still Time for Summer Fun in the Kitchen

Here in Georgia, school is starting back in 3 short weeks. It is hard to believe school is so close, which makes it feel like the end of summer is at hand, which it clearly isn’t. There is still plenty of time for summer adventures, and of course I love those that involve the kitchen. These […]
