Thank You!!

A dear friend and colleague sent me a lovely and thoughtful birthday present this week. I am trying not to mention full names here since this is a public forum (so you know who you are!) It was a cookbook called Clean Food by Terry Walters. What an amazing book! It has more than 200 recipes and all of them center around seasonal produce. I am pretty sure it is vegetarian, but I haven't been able to delve too far into it just yet.

Walters has a lovely vision of how food should be. And the recipes really are great and simple. Tomato and Chick Pea salad with Cilantro Dressing? Asparagus with Mustard Vinaigrette and Toasted Pecans?? Maple Poached Pears??? She has a great understanding of unprocessed ingredients and speaks at length about organics and their importance.

On another note, On Sunday I will be featured as a guest blogger on the parenting website www.mamapedia.com I have loved Mamapedia for a while. They have an open forum for parenting questions. I have gotten some great advice when I have reached out with questions. Now I am so excited to be able to contribute to their section for bloggers. Please come and check it out at www.mamapedia.com/voices My piece will air Sunday June 13th. Hooray!!
