The fact that Lia’s first blog was called Swirling Notions says a lot about her. Here are random musings from Lia that don’t fall neatly into place.
Three Hours, Priceless Peace
As you know, we kicked off the launch of Nourish Weekly Menus last week with quite the event–5 days of giveaways on our Facebook page, from videos to e-cookbooks. It was awesome (I especially loved how the e-cookbooks turned out!). And I was EXHAUSTED.
Most of us, these days, run at a swift pace. It’s…

WOW. This is my first post on our brand new, revamped site. I’m blushing from the momentousness of the occasion.
Even more exciting, though, is what’s ahead. First, though, let me tell you a bit about why we redesigned the site.
As many of you know, I launched Nourish Network in 2009 because I wanted…
Ode to Mortars and Pestles
I have a thing for mortars and pestles. Part of my fascination, I think, comes from the fact that they’re so utterly primitive. They don’t have a plug. They don’t make motorized noise. They don’t even have a sharp edge. But don’t let the simplistic nature fool you into thinking they’re not useful tools.

I’ve been gardening ‘organically’ for nearly a decade now. But up until recently, I carried a narrow definition of ‘organic’ in my head as what I wasn’t putting on my plants—no pesticides, no herbicides, no synthetic fertilizer.

Last weekend, the Nourish Network crew scoured the aisles of the Fancy Food Show in San Francisco looking for companies that really embodied our values of enjoying food that’s healthy for our bodies and the earth. Here, the first in my three part series (I’ve got a lot to say and didn’t want to overwhelm you) on our 18 favorites:

I’ve wanted to write a piece for a while about making cooking fun during the holidays. The seeds were planted when, on a trying evening, I recruited my daughter to help me make a “special” salad and pouts and whines (from both of us) turned to laughter and pensive smiles. Here’s a poem inspired by the spirit of that night.

For some reason, I have a tough time each year letting go of summer and welcoming fall—much as I love both seasons. When the sun takes on a lackadaisical slant and the earth smells wet, it makes my chest swell with a sort of nostalgiancholy. So I thought I’d take a cue from one of Noemi’s alphabet books and spell out how harvest feels to me.
