I’m sitting in Grendel’s Coffee House right now . . . don’t judge me, yes, I’m having coffee. I’m coming down from my first television appearance on Portland’s #1 morning talk show, AM NW. And, I still have a cooking demonstration to do at the Beaverton Natural Grocers, so a little caffeine is in order. If you’re in the area, stop by between 4-5:30 p.m. to sample fast, easy snacks and pick up free recipes.

Thank you for all the support! I got a little teary eyed as I read all the “good luck” emails from people and my phone was blowing up with texts of well wishes. I’m so honored to have such wonderful people in my business and personal circle. My gratitude can never be fully expressed!
