I deliver meals to home-bound folks in East Nashville once a month for The Martha O’Bryan Center. There are times that I wake up the morning of my volunteer day and think to myself “how in the world am I going to get everything done before it’s time to go deliver meals?” It never fails that it’s just the break I need. Terry Gross keeps me company with her daily dose of Fresh Air, I start out on the 37206 route with a cooler full of milk and juice and a warmer full of hot lunches. There are ... continue reading...
National Barbecue Month with Four Roses Bourbon
May is National Barbecue Month! Four Roses Bourbon asked if I would write a recipe using their delicious, golden elixir in celebration.

Passions-Profits-Poke Chops
This past Thursday, I spoke on a panel of entrepreneurs that have turned our “Passion into Profit.” It was produced by the creative event group that happens to have a publication called 12th and Broad.
