Thanks Giving Inspired Fridays: Week 4

Jeff and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary this month. Such a big milestone has caused me to stop and reflect on the past ten years and of course the very beginning.  What I really treasure about the first three years of our relationship  is the stack of letters that I have from Jeff.

The man who tells everyone about the difference between a registered dietitian and nutritionist. The man who brags about the way I roast cauliflower. The man who is gentle…

5 things I’d like to do this year

I feel like I have a million ideas running through my head at any given minute of the day, so I have started to write them down in my journal.  Getting ideas on paper quiets my mind (for the moment at least), and gets me motivated toward acting on them. Here are 5 things that I want to do this year… 1. Continue to improve my food photography. As I…
