Stress is not...a badge of courage

Although Grandma's passion had led me to the power of food, not all of her recipes were healthy. I kept her gusto and the love that she put into her cuisine but ditched the ingredients that bought her a one-way ticket to arthritis, diverticulitis and a host of other inflammatory conditions. I also ditched my own addictions and compulsions around food, especially sugar.

Make space in your life, space for health and happiness

While I may never be in remission from cancer, I am currently in remission from an unhealthy relationship to food.

I was asleep at the wheel before cancer shook me awake.

Don't shrink to meet the expectations of others, grow to become the person you want to be.

If it has a shelf life longer than you, don't eat it.
