We were in SoCal for a week, visiting family, and my mom hosted a little birthday party to celebrate Xander’s 5th the day we arrived. We ordered pizza, as we often do these days for these on-the-fly family gatherings, to keep it simple. My contribution, as usual, would be some sort of big salad – but this time, one that could be prepared a few hours in advance…
I’m a mom of two young boys, a sommelier, a former restaurateur, and a passionate home cook. I believe in eating well and celebrating life every day, not just on weekends or holidays or vacation. With delicious, healthy food, good wine and family and friends gathered around the table. This is my happy place.
My goal is to inspire to get you into the kitchen, and to take the mystery out of serving wine with food. On a Tuesday night. With picky eaters, even toddlers. It’s totally doable. Especially with a glass of wine. Trust me.
