A well-timed comment from another blogger helped me realize that it’s ok to be a foodie-blogger-storyteller person with a unique and real message – even though my food isn’t art.

An easy-peasy smorgasbord is the treat-yourselves antidote to Friday night cooking.

One of our best protocols so far is the Travel Day Dinner Plan. No cooking!!!

European colleagues of mine took potluck to a new level when they invaded my kitchen and created a marvelous vegan lentil soup.

For us, Family Smorgasbord is a mashup of little bites of stuff we like. They don’t have to go together or have the same culinary roots. They just need to taste good.
