Calling all food worriers! I am a health and nutrition counselor that spent years worrying about the right and wrong foods and fighting with my weight. I never imagined I could have an easy, or even nourishing, relationship with food and my body. Several health issues surfaced for me when I was processing emotional changes in my life. I was forced to connect with my body (rather than calories, restrictions, points or a plan) for the first time. I stopped struggling with my weight not because I f …

I want to create an atmosphere where people feel comfortable, enjoy dinner conversation and a good meal. In today’s fast-paced world, it’s hard for people to slow down, sit down and enjoy dinner. This is my attempt to bring this tradition back – at least in my home. I miss having people to eat with, I believe strongly t …
