After being diagnosed with Crohn's Disease in 2004 I made a drastic lifestyle change in order to manage this disease and made a commitment to myself to heal from within by changing my diet, by taking herbs, vitamins, supplements, and striving for internal peace (concerted efforts toward decreasing stress). I have since become an alternative food junkie and find genuine happiness in providing healing, nourishing food to my family and friends. I have created a holistic approach to living which incorporates taking care of my mind/body, my family and the environment. When I'm not cooking you can find me playing with my awesome kids, working in the garden, or watching a comedy with my husband (or a Sci-Fi flick if he wins the coin toss). I have an innate propensity toward perfectionism and and a flair for being a huge goofball - a good balance in my opinion. I try to not take life too seriously and find great pleasure in being silly and having fun everyday...and of course laughing as much as possible.
