I went to a café the other day on my way to a meeting. It was a small one in a local grocery/sundry store. It’s in a sort of hippie town so it had the possibility of being a hidden gem. The menu wasn’t much but I was excited to see they had matcha...

I always fall in love with one of the recipes in my (Peri-) Menopause Detox. And I found the one this detox. It’s Quinoa with Mushroom, Arugula and Lemon. The base recipe comes from the Ottolenghi Cookbook (my favorite of all time!). I adapted...

To say, that this year has flown by would be an understatement. It hasn’t just flown by, it’s flown at supersonic speed. Do you agree? When I was in my late 20’s – early 30’s, I worked with a bunch of guys that were 5-8 years older than me. They had wives and kids...

Winter squash. I love it. I’m not sure exactly when my obsession began but I think it was a Butternut Squash Ravioli with a Brown Butter and Sage Sauce at a little Italian restaurant in Chicago somewhere near Halsted and Diversey in the mid- to late- 90’s. I...
