40% + Produce End Up In the Landfill

Did you know that 40+% of the produce we buy ends up in the #landfill? Honestly it makes me very sad. Millions of children go to school hungry. Millions of people go to bed hungry every day. Yet we still toss almost 1/2 of everything we buy into the garbage. I know things come up…

A Time of Reflection: As 2017 is Departing and 2018 is Beginning

Thinking back to how quickly 2017 passed – I reflect that 2017 was a year of the Great Inner/self & business growth. Very Exciting and Fantastic Year with everything we did – I started a list and moved to my calendar then realized more and more the things we accomplished. Wow! Amazing really the amount of things that happen in a year that are forgotten as you move on to the next day, week and month. 2018 I have realized I need to keep better track, as fast as things change and progress it is important to really remember from where we came.

The Age Old Question – What’s for Dinner?

Our fast and busy lives zoom past us at break neck speed. I know because I woke up July 1 and thought Wow 1/2 way through the year. Soon it will be Christmas again, then 2018 and I’ll blink for it to be July 2018 again. Rinse and Repeat. I digress. We think every month.…

Chef Jennifer’s Favorite Foods

It is July. WOW – we just had the 4th of July parties. Busy BBQ Season. Tons of fun. July is the Family Reunion Month. Though these celebrations and other events people ask me all of the time what I like to cook most. Which is a Totally Complicated Question for Me. It’s like asking…

Sugar Addiction

Sugar is more addictive than cocaine? See this visual. Brain patterns of both sugar and cocaine users versus a normal brain. We wonder why we have obesity in the US and some blame exercise or portion size or stress or or or whatever reason. What do you think it is? Me I think 2 things.…
