Baking 500 Chocolate Chip Cookies; What Does it Take?

Secrets of a Private Chef
In a Q+A article in the summer 2007 issue, I talk about my family’s passion for food and how I managed my weight gain without giving up the thing I love most – cooking!
Garlic Fries
“Yeah, this place has changed a lot over the years”, said the hunched woman. She sat next to me at the bar, with her martini, shaking the gin from a toothpick laden with olives.
Summer Sandwich
I love sandwiches. They were the perfect summertime lunch for a kid who didn’t want to come inside and miss the fun of playing with her friends under the summer sun.

Back to School Lunches
When it comes to doing well at school, sending your kids off to class with a healthy lunch is one of the best ways to help them. Kids who have excellent nutrition are better able to focus, have more energy, and sleep better at night, and are less prone to being overweight.
