Describe a man who has positively impacted your life. While the obvious answer to this prompt is to talk about my husband Ken, who certainly has had a significant positive impact on my life, I’m going to focus on the man who taught me to write. I entered the graduate…

Is your life today what you pictured a year ago? I thought about passing on this prompt, but it’s been rattling about in my head all day, so I figured I needed to organize my thoughts and share them. Last year, I couldn’t look ahead more than one day at…

Today’s post includes recipes for the two dishes I talked about in my last post. Colombian shredded chicken is based on the recipe by Steve Raichlen in his book Healthy Latin Cooking. My changes are minimal: I’ve added more bell pepper and replaced the fresh tomato with a can of…
