Finding Radiance

I recently was forwarded a copy of  “I’m With Fatty” by Edward Ugel to review.   From the copy: The book is an honest and wickedly funny chronicle of a father, husband, and all-around-food-obsessed man as he attempts to lose 50 pounds in 50 weeks – a foodie who can’t remember the last time he [...]

I think this is a most appropriate review and giveaway for this time of year, don’t you?  Nobody likes to talk about chafing, but it is a fact of life for all of us.  The nice folks at Lanacane must have seen how sweaty I get during my workouts and sent me some of their  [...]

I received a copy of Dollars to Donuts by Dawn Welch last week to review. The premise of this cookbook is making the most of your pantry and cooking on a budget with appropriate meal planning and taking advantage of bargains.  The recipes run the gamut from roasts to breakfasts to desserts.  All of the [...]

Hi everyone!  I don’t have to serve on the jury, but it was close – only by luck of the draw (literally) did I not get picked to sit on the jury.  It took all day to seat a jury, so I was there from 8:45 to a little after 5 pm! Anyway, on to [...]
