As the Culinary Ambassador to City of Hope and its Super Foods initiative I did a cooking demo at the 135th Easter Egg Roll at the White House this past Monday.   Yep, that’s the White House behind me!  I made two dishes that day, Blueberry Banana Boats and Thai Chicken Lettuce Cups, that included [...]

I decided to repost this yummy appetizer after realizing that many of you may not only be hosting Thanksgiving, but Thanksgiving Eve for out of town relatives.  I’m in the same boat with 30 of my in-laws descending in from all over the country starting tonight!  This is a perfect starter as your guests can [...]
