Hunting Morels Subscribers please click HERE to view the video from your e-mail! I grew up in the Midwest, which for me meant that in the spring and early summer it was mushroom hunting time.

Get out the grill~
Or let’s grill in! It’s that time of year when half the country is still in the grasp of Old Man Winter while the other half is enjoying the budding, flowering show of Spring.

A New Year ~ A New Diet
Got Fruit? With the ever increasing popularity of my book Beyond the Pasta, I have been getting a lot of response from people wanting to know about the Italian diet. Am I a dietitian?

Add to that the fact that there is a language barrier between everyone involved and you might start to understand why I …
