This was quite a week in food, our beloved food pyramid turned into a plate, and I spent a lot of time thinking about how I too could be eating healthier, and living healthier. Summer is a funny time, the fruits and vegetables are at their best, but they are often being lured into some creamy dips, or the warm, flaky crust of a pie shell.
I am excited for the weekend, and everything that it brings: dinners with friends, time with family, baking adventures and trips to the farmers’ market.
