I had the strangest dream last night. I’m driving along a narrow, dark road with rails. I don’t know where it leads. I don’t know why I’m on this road. And I don’t know where I’m going. I can’t see anything. It’s pitch black. But I keep driving anyway, using the rails to guide me. There are people in front of me but I can’t see them. I keep inching forward cautiously, afraid that I will hit someone.
Read MoreI love bolognese. It’s my go-to Italian dish in LA. I used to like it super chunky but after having so many different variations, I discovered that bolognese is actually really good when it’s a little creamy. Not too creamy though. I’ve made many versions of bolognese, never keeping track of measurements until now. I have always just tasted as I cooked and added whatever was needed in the moment.

Any cauliflower lovers out there? While I do eat meat, I still enjoy creating hearty vegetarian recipes every now and then. A couple years ago, I used to be a vegetarian.

For as long as I can remember, I have had chronic allergies and difficulty breathing. As a child, I got sick often. As an adult, I still get sick often. Doctors could never identify the problem. I didn't have asthma. Allergy shots didn’t help. It wasn't a severe issue, just uncomfortable and inconvenient.

I just started a new job...after my 6.5 month hiatus and it definitely is an adjustment! It's hard to balance work with my LA women's social club, my cookbook, hanging out with my friends, and trying to fit in ME-time in between all of that. I'm also the type of girl that needs to eat often and if I don't have food packed and ready to go, I end up skipping meals, forgetting to eat, or rushing to pick up whatever sub-par food is nearby.
Read MoreI am obsessed with salsa. I love it on everything--Mexican food, eggs, salad, grilled meats. I love loading tortilla chips with so much salsa that bits of it fall off my chip before it even makes its way to my mouth! I could just eat a bowl of salsa!
