Locally, Chicago has huge areas called Food Deserts – imagine if the entire population of Naperville, 124,000 people, wasn’t able to get access to fresh food – that number only represents...

Feeding Hungry Kids - Triathlon for Share our Strength

Feeding Hungry Kids - Triathlon for Share our Strength
I didn’t grow up worrying about where my next meal would come from. As a lover of food, I can’t imagine not being able to have food simply because it’s not available or the heating bill is more important during the winter. My rationale side says – How is this still an issue in 2012... Read more »

Paula Deen is a Sham

Paula Deen is a Sham
I don’t watch a lot of reality tv or get the US Weekly addiction of living life through others highs and lows. I don’t watch many cooking shows especially Paula Deen’s since they aren’t my cup of tea to begin with. I laughed when I saw her sons got a cooking show purely because their... Read more »
