Month: February 2018

I grew up in a community where you never really called ahead before you visited someone.

Perched on a hill in Meadows, Newfoundland sits my mom’s old saltbox, a traditional home built nearly a hundred years ago.

As a young girl, my grandmother GiGi and her friends would have what we call a “Newfoundland boil-up”. They’d pick fresh mussels from the rocks when the tide was low, or wade in the water to get them.

GetJoyfull is a growing movement that aims to reconnect families with the food they’re putting on their tables. It’s seems like a simple philosophy, but it’s a concept I struggled with when I moved to a larger city, began a new career and started a family.

Time to ready your twirling forks – February 7 is National Fettuccine Alfredo Day! Tender pasta in a cheesy cream sauce.
