You know there’s a funny thing about cooking. Its often a singular exercise, but it has a way of drawing people together. When someone’s in the kitchen, there’s almost like a gravitational pull around the chef.

Take a look around your house. Where is that you find people? Today, our living rooms are less for congregating than they are for special occasions. In my house, the kitchen is connected to the family room; it’s the hub of our house and is a reminder that  good food can serve to connect families.

That’s what my cooking’s all about. Whether you’re a mother of four like I am, an empty-nester or are just starting out on your own, take my advice: Learn to love to cook. It will pay you back tenfold with memories, moments, and more.

So, please, pull up a chair and make yourself comfortable. Welcome to my Table. Here you’ll be able to find some great recipes, tips on everything from entertaining to healthy eating, and hopefully be inspired to create your own table for friends and family to gather.
