As today is my birthday, I am sharing two of my favorite dishes and a few bits of news on the food-writer front.

It’s hard to stand out in the area of food and family writing. I am one of hundreds in this country who write on those topics for newspapers and other publications.

I hope what I have accomplished in “Spice of Life” is to open a dialog about healthy eating, keeping your family active and learning more about the state we live in.
