Once upon a time, in a world full of color,

Christine met Tulya, an artist like no other

Their love for beauty brought them together,

In a world where darkness seemed to gather.

It’s a Friday, I’m in the middle of an afternoon meeting with my team, and I notice my phone light up with a text from my husband Jason.

“Just ran into Jen and Patrick and invited them and their friends visiting from NC over for Supper. 7:30 cool?”

I reply with a 👍 and return focus to my team.

Everything about this recipe and presentation is warm and inviting. The sweet and earthy aromas fill my home while it cooks literally seducing my husband out of his office to ask “What’s for Dinner, love?” while placing a kiss on my cheek.

Gluten-free, grain-free waffles made with only 3 ingredients!

When I had my son back in the winter of 2011, I was hammered with Anemia. For weeks I couldn’t walk around the block without Jason supporting my arm. I was cured by two high-iron foods: lentils and beef bone marrow. Bone marrow gives us vitamins A, B2, B12, and E, plus omega-3s, omega-6s, and minerals like calcium, iron, selenium, and zinc. Wow-za, right?!

When I tried Mark Bittman’s NY Times Cooking recipe for Easy Roast Duck I was skeptical. How could cooking a whole duck be THIS simple AND taste Flaweless? I mean the only ingredients are duck, pepper and soy sauce!! No marinading? No drying for 48 hours hanging in your refrigerator? No complicated orange lacquer?
