No chocolate? It comes from a bean. No beans. No way. Yes, way. And that coffee you started drinking again when you wrote the blog post, Coffee: Love Story? You remember: the day you decided ‘the ritual’ was more important than the health benefits derived in NOT drinking that gorgeous brew. Well, you better go […]

February. The month of hearts. And romance. The month lovers swoon and women without a beloved feel a slight pang of, “No chocolates for me this year.” I remember the biggest, most ostentatious display of chocolates I ever received. I was dating a rather linear thinker at the time. Romance was not part of his […]

When I visit a city the first thing I investigate is the local chocolate. Sometimes I’m lucky enough to find a bean to bar establishment and take a private tour through a chocolate kitchen, which I love. And sometimes I spend my time in a local chocolate shop sipping and sampling and chatting. On a […]

As much as I love a steamy cup of sipping chocolate when the cold winds blow, this week my body has been calling for the warming spices in Chai so I decided to make … Chocolate Chai Spiced Tea. There are some beautiful chocolate teas on the market that work beautifully here and I’ll talk […]

I am very excited to introduce you to Lisa Reinhardt, one of the very first chocolate makers I met when I began my Chocolate for Breakfast adventure. I loved both the intention in her chocolate making and her beautiful spirit. I finally had an opportunity to meet Lisa, face to face, a rare and wonderful […]

‘Tis the season, yes? I don’t know about you, but for me, December can be a pretty stressful month. Each year when the holidays arrive, I give myself the gift of a grounding ritual. I give my “old self” a great big hug and I remind her that she does not have to go into […]

I started the Luscious Legacy Project just over two years ago to provide moms with a resource, a beacon of light when the kitchen feels a little daunting and they are leaving anything but a luscious legacy. I wanted to give women an opportunity to read about real moms with the same challenges. Moms who […]

I know. You think I visit Portland for the beautiful weather, the cool mornings where overcast skies are a welcome reprieve. Overcast skies, a welcome reprieve? Yes. I live in the Washington, DC area where a walk around the park feels more like a steam bath than a stroll. Actually, I visit this city for […]

I love it when my favorite food bloggers compose a ‘top 10 list’ and take me on a blogging excursion to their favorite blogs and recipes. Chances are we all share the same foodie sensibility so I know I’m going to be in for a real treat. I also love being a chocolate curator and […]

I grew up in Buffalo, New York. Snow City. They called it “lake effect” snow. I called it bliss. As a child I marveled at snow drifts that reached the eaves of my home. And icicles that threatened to pierce the skull of the mailman if he ventured close enough to the mailbox to actually […]
