It’s been almost two weeks since I returned from my 500 mile walk on The Camino de Santiago. Every day I’ve run in to at least one person with the questions, “well?” “What did you learn?” “What epiphany did you have?” “How did it change you ..read more

It’s been 7 months since my father suddenly passed away.
I’ve heard all the platitudes. "You were so lucky to have him so long." "He lived a long, wonderful life." "You're so lucky he didn't suffer.”
I know I’m one of the lucky few that had a Dad that was just two weeks shy from turning 96. He was still working as an attorney, had all his marbles and never liked to miss a gym appointment. I’m also fortunate that he didn’t go through a long debilitating illness or dementia.
He lived a long, amazing life, was well known and loved in his community for his generosity and wis ..read more

My latest obsession has been the Netflix series, How to Live To 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones with Dan Buettner.
I am always working on getting more plant-based food on people's plates!

Summer is coming to an end, but my friend is still bringing me gorgeous figs from her trees. I’ve also been able to grab a few delicious peaches before they disappear for the season!
Here is a quick appetizer that I’m taking to a cocktail party tonight. It’s delicious and will impress your guests! You can make an easy pie crust, but I didn’t have time. So I grabbed a premade pie crust at the grocery and rolled it to the size I wanted.
You can also probably try any stone fruit instead of peaches, but I don’t recommend berries, as they are too watery.
Also, I used a combo of blue and goat chees ..read more

What is JuneteeNth?
Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States.
On June 19, 1865, Union General Gordon Granger arrived at Galveston, Texas, bringing news to the town that the Civil War had ended and that all slaves were free. This was nearly two and a half years after President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation. Before long, the former slaves in southeastern Texas began to celebrate June 19 as Emancipation Day. Eventually, they shortened the name to Juneteenth. The day was recognized as a federal holiday on June 17, 202 ..read more
