Last weekend I celebrated my birthday by eating, shopping and drinking my way around the lower Adirondacks — and it was a blast! Not to mention a perfect way to say good riddance to a year that was full of more lows than highs. We started out the windy autumn day in Bolton Landing. Where… Continue reading My Lake George Birthday
Wycombe Vineyards‘ Chambourcin isn’t for everyone, as I learned when I served it at dinner over the weekend. But, if you like a spicier red with a peppery undertone, definitely give it a try — it’s a true Chambourcin. I picked this bottle up a few years ago during a weekend that was spent visiting vineyards along the… Continue reading Wednesday Wine: Wycombe Vineyards’ Chambourcin
One of the things I love the most about the Digest Diet are the recipes. They are based on real food, and are bursting with flavors — at least the ones I’ve tried so far. Last night I made the kale and chickpea soup. It calls for three cups chicken broth, but I substituted my… Continue reading The Digest Diet: Kale and Chickpea Soup
Let’s just get it out there – I cheated. Yeah, yeah, I know, it’s only three days in. Call me a failure. Say whatever you want, but what I can tell you is that I’m still losing weight. Granted, I bet if I stuck to it 100 percent exactly and did the exact exercises, I… Continue reading The Digest Diet: I Cheated!

The year before I was in Denver at BlogPaws. I would be lying if I said my stomach wasn’t in knots this… Continue reading Never Forget: 9/11
When I received an email from Reader’s Digest a few weeks back after BlogHer’12 asking if I would be interested in joining their TheDigest Diet three week blogging event, I ignored it. First, many “diets” don’t seem to work for me, plus being a vegetarian with a gluten sensitivity who leans vegan, it’s usually pretty… Continue reading The Digest Diet Kick Off: Phase One
I absolutely love being able to walk out my door, pick a bunch of fruits and vegetables, go back inside and make something delicious. Sometimes it can be as simple as a kale smoothie, and other times it can be as complicated as homemade tomato sauce and eggplant parmesan. This weekend, I picked several large… Continue reading Yard to Table: Weekend Harvest
When my Aunt Cynthia, who has been coming to the Adirondacks since she was a little girl, came to see my house for the first time, she joked about bears in my back yard coming to get her. I laughed it off, and told her there are no bears in Lake George. She tilted her… Continue reading Running Into a Bear on Prospect Mountain in Lake George
