This is an archive of my 'life through food' columns. I wrote them for a year, and now I am taking a break from them, as I have some other pressing things that I need to work on.

I wrote this column mostly every other week, with recipes at the end of each one. It was pieces of my life as told through food experiences. There were always recipes at the end of each column. You will find those columns archived below.

Please email me if you'd like to receive a notice of when I begin writing again, or if you have any questions at all!

(note- the columns are in order from newest to oldest)
