Exciting Update!

Greetings foodies,

I just wanted to share the exciting news that I've decided to do a cookbook in 2011! This cookbook will be filled with lots of delicious whole food recipes. I'll need recipe testers so I'll keep everyone posted as progress is made.

In the meantime...Happy Eating!

Welcome to the Festive Food Three Way!

I know, sounds crazy but really, food three ways! Yep, take that same meal and I'll show you how to three way it (meaning make it three different ways). It's like the hidden treasure we all wish we had so no one really knows that we haven't slaved all day long in the kitchen making that three hour hand me down family recipe. The best part about it is you can have those same guests back at some point and make a different version of the same meal. It's like we're tricking our guests but NOT!

This is a photo of my Moroccan Chickpea Salad and the recipe. Serve with gazpacho soup and grilled rustic bread.

Is it wrong that food makes me this happy inside?
