About me

Gender	Female
Introduction	When I started this blog a few years ago, after retiring from the café/catering business, I planned to share recipes enjoyed by my family, friends and former customers. But as other activities and interests began to take shape and my new life took over, my blogging fell by the wayside. My love of food, cooking, eating, reading recipes, exploring restaurants – now THAT didn't go away! In fact, 2013 was a big year of food exploration, but with a purpose. I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in March. That little bombshell sent me and Mr. SP into research mode to learn all we could about the disease and the various foods that would support me during chemo and whatever lay ahead. That food journey is now the focus of this blog. After eight months of chemo, and surgery to remove the damaged portion of the pancreas, I am now cancer free! My food discoveries were a big part of the arsenal that attacked this disease. I know it helped me and hope that by sharing what we've learned, I can help others. The basic premise of this blog remains the same, however – enjoying all that life has to offer and sharing delicious food with my loving family and good friends.
