any people - friends and visitors alike - have asked who writes for SkinnyChef.com. Keeping up with my food blog, articles, and newsletters can be time consuming, but I enjoying writing all the content for my site. I make excellent use of my "in-between" time, concocting recipes while traveling in the subway, brainstorming blog topics while shopping in markets and grocery stores, and talking over ideas with my producers when I'm washing up after a shoot.
I am always on the hunt for new topics and knowledgeable people to write about so if you have ideas or suggestions, submit them here. I'm always happy to hear your ideas.

Celebrating two of my favorite holidays, St. Patrick’s Day and Easter, I’m dedicating this newsletter to my Granny, “Patricia”, born on the March 17th! Even though she isn’t Irish, she certainly has had a lot of “luck” with her dishes. Queen of our family kitchen, she has passed on some fierce cooking skills and many cooking tips that you can see on the site.
When I was growing up, Valentine’s day wasn’t just about chocolate. Granny always made her own treats, handmade goodies that had nothing to do with candy. One Valentine’s, she created a basket full of hand-sewn pin cushions in the shape of a heart stuffed with fragrant rose and lavender potpourri. But now that I’m older, I always think of giving food this time of year.
In my January 2008 newsletter, I highlight my latest articles for YogaLife, People and In Style magazines, and share healthy eating tips. Why wait for New Year’s? Make your resolution now! If losing weight is your number one priority, making one to two small changes to your daily food choices can make all the difference in the world.
Home-made baked goods are my weakness during the holidays. Who doesn’t love a plate of warm cookies right from the oven? Why not try some healthier holiday goodies that are lighter than traditional fare but just as sweet? Try my recipe for rugelach for Hanukkah filled with chocolate chips and walnuts or leave Santa a stack of peppermint biscotti.
