I have always been a big foodie and just because my options have become more "limited" due to my health challenges DOES NOT mean I don't enjoy the finer things in life!

​

Below you will find many RECIPES where you will see that healthy food CAN and WILL taste better than most food you can get at a five-star restaurant. The whole pomp and circumstance of going out to a fine restaurant and eating gourmet food has been a long-time passion of mine. So much so that my Dad would say after every dining experience we shared together that the cost would come out of my inheritance one day. But some of my absolute fondest memories I have with my Dad, and subsequently with my husband and our three kids, are either dressing up and going out to a gourmet meal, or cooking one and sharing it together with family and friends at home. 

 

My husband calls it "La Famiglia" - sitting around a table, sharing a good meal, sharing your life and love. It's special. Even when I was at my sickest, one of my boys said to me, "Mom, I know you aren't going to die, you have a lot of meals left to cook." We all laughed, but of course, he was right! I have continued to create RECIPES through every challenge I encountered, and now, when I am blessed to have our three children come home for a visit, I cook many meals that they have each requested. Some you will find here, and others you will find in my cookbooks when they are published.  In the meantime, take the TIME and ENJOY every meal you can with your family and friends. I hope that you too are blessed with La Familgia around your table. ♥
