Daily trips to the morning market, freshly grown produce straight from the backyard garden and carefully guarded family recipes shared for generations.

Mother’s Day is around the corner, and I’m excited to enjoy a sunny weekend with the blue-eyed wonders who call me Mama.

One of the fondest memories I have as a child was walking into GiGi’s house on a Sunday to the aroma of ‘Jiggs’ Dinner.’ Also known as “boiled,” or “Sunday dinner.”

Picky eating is a challenge that nearly all parents face. From kids who are so distracted with the promise of dessert they rush through dinner, to those who flat-out refuse certain foods — every single time.

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.

To wrap up our December campaign about all things turkey, Cela sat down with GetJoyfull friend and Turkey Farmer Scott Olson of Gary Olson Farm for a little one on one turkey talk.
