Zinc and Sleep
"If you don't eat your vegetables you'll have nightmares." This is a statement made by every parent from the past, in the present and to the future. However, I don't believe adults know the scientific reasoning behind their claims, of which, are true.

Comfort From the Past
My lips closed over the thin wheat cracker nearly obscured by the generous glob of my favorite homemade dip. Gooey, smooth and rich, I quickly grabbed another cracker and using it as a scoop, thrust another bite of the delicious French onion flavored dip into my awaiting mouth before the last bite was even finished. As I savored the taste and the mix of textures, my mind wandered to a day when this very delicacy filled not just my stomach, but my heart as well, with the sense of being truly loved and cared for.

A Sign of the Times
With all the options out there to make sure we eat (food delivery, pick up, drive thrus and meal preparation businesses), my daughter and I decided to try the meal kits delivered in boxes as we thought this would be helpful for us with our limited time. In our household we have three children, my daughter and myself. Besides limited time we also decided to try these meal kits, so we could try out some other cuisines. I had been getting complaints that the food was always the same, so I thought this seemed like a good alternative to splash up our meals at least for a short time. Either they'd appreciate my cooking more or we'd find something that we might extend to a longer term. I always tried recipes from the internet or recipe books I couldn't part with, so this was a little different.

Cooking With My Southern Grandma
Have you ever had a hankering for your Grandma’s food ? I’m lucky to still have both of my Grandmother’s and they will both cook me whatever I ask..I know I’m spoiled. One of my favorite things that my Grandma makes is chicken salad. You can get chicken salad a lot of places but none of them make it like my Grandma does. I called Grandma on the way to her house, and told her I wanted some chicken salad for lunch. We crossed referenced what she already had at home and what was needed. I swung by the grocery store and picked up the items she said we needed. With a handful of bags, knocking on my Grandma door I could see through the window that she was already starting in the kitchen.She dropped her dish towel as I came in, and said “Dropped my dishcloth, a stranger’s coming hungry.” I laughed and said “What,Grandma ?”. She said, “ That's an old saying my Momma used to say when she dropped her dishcloth.” As she began to cook we talked and laughed and I took notes on her chicken salad process.

The Expo
Lucy surveyed the disarray around her, and sighed. The conference room was littered with discarded San Pellegrino bottles, programs, hotel-issued notepads and small paper tasting plates. Chairs were in a state of chaos, with one even toppled over in someone’s haste to make it to the next session. This is not what she had signed up for.
