On Christmas Eve, we saw people. Not the people we normally would have seen, but people in our neighborhood. It was pleasant enough to be outside and enjoy a fire pit and some mulled cider. If there is any silver…

030 – There’s nothing wrong with you…
It’s no secret that the pandemic has taken a toll on our society and the individuals that make it a society. When you are stuck at home all of the time it is more difficult to distract yourself from all…
029 – Edgy
Over the past week, we had some BEAUTIFUL weather in New England. Like sunny and in the 70s which never happens in November. I know it’s probably climate change related, but I can still enjoy it, right? Earlier in the…

In my 20s I was asked – “when are you getting married?” In my early 30’s it turned into “why are you not married – don’t you want kids?” Now that I am in my 40’s, when I unapologetically say…
022 – Consider all Ingredients
I am really trying to eat better; to consider the value of each ingredient as it goes int my recipes. For the past 6 months or so, I have undergone nutrition response testing in an effort to promote better health….
