Helping Our Patients & Clients Affected by the Fires
It will take us all some time to process everything that happened on December 30th. Collectively, our community has endured so much in these last two years, and the last few weeks have been incredibly challenging. We can feel the collective grief in the air. However,...

As the world enters its third year in a global pandemic, Debbie and I have been looking back and reflecting on what we’ve called “the greatest missed opportunity.” While our country was acutely thrust into an intense focus on immunity, what has become increasingly...

MiMa’s Chanukah Latkes (Potato Pancakes)
Latke is the Yiddish word for “pancake.” It is a Chanukah tradition to serve latkes, which are basically grated potato pancakes fried in oil, to celebrate the Chanukah miracle—that a small amount of oil burned for eight consecutive days. Latkes are my favorite holiday...
Thanksgiving Cornbread
For many years I taught monthly cooking classes. Every November I would offer a "Pre-Thanksgiving Feast" and we would prepare several Thanksgiving side dishes such as Maple Pecan Yams, Warm Greens with Honeyed Pears & Pomegranate and Thanksgiving Cornbread. While...

Savory Slow Cooker Beef Stew
This dish is winter comfort food at its yummiest! Warm, hearty, savory beef stew with root veggies, broth and herbs. The Slow Cooker allows time for the beef to become super tender, which makes it fall apart in your mouth—the way we personally like it best. Simply...
Casey’s D.I.Y. Candles
