When we experience bumpy and dark moments in life there is the assurance of smooth and bright days to come. If you read “In Memory Of…” my first day with my Brown Bag, you will remember that I lost a very close neighbor of mine. Indeed it was a bumpy time for me and many others to navigate [...]

Lately I have been secretly craving cookies like a pregnant woman craves [insert random thing to eat here]! I don’t know what it is, but the smell of cookie dough baking and chocolate chips melting in the oven is very lulling to me. I don’t bake cookies too often because I know I run the risk [...]

Have you ever had a sample that was so good, you walked a few more aisles in the store to circle back, hoping the server wouldn’t remember you, to get another? That’s how I feel about the samples I [...]

I believe that in every person’s life there comes a point when they will know if they can tolerate hot and spicy foods or turn away and run like Super Mario when he gets burned on his bottom by a fireball. For me, hot and spicy foods have been a part of my life since I was [...]

Were you, or are you currently a fan of cold foods that are normally served warm? Most of us have had the experience of eating cold pizza, cold fried chicken, cold macaroni & cheese, cold cornbread dressing, cold [you fill in the blank]. Have you ever tried cold soup?

Eating breakfast has always been a challenge for me. Most traditional breakfast foods are heavy and put me in slow motion versus breaking the fast from the night and giving me a boost of energy to start my day. Most times, I turn to fruit, yogurt, granola and sometimes a combination of all three to [...]
