Happy 2019. I’ve learned two things — 1) The healthiest thing you can do for yourself is to eat more greens. 2) People don’t want to eat more greens, they want to eat sweets. Sweetness wins. It’s a win for everyone when the sweetness comes from a source that doesn’t mess with your weight or…
Panforte
Doing Dessert for a Sweet Solstice Originally posted for Huffington Post on 12/21/2015 ‘Tis the season.

Seed Cake
Spring Awakening Originally posted for Huffington Post on 3/30/2015 I’d intended to make this post about Passover and Easter, the two holidays that bookend this weekend.
