Holiday Gift Guide 2022

HO HO HO Here we go… It’s that time again!

It’s that time again, and I always enjoy cozying up with my computer to begin my gift guide. Every year I work with some outstanding brands, some old, some new, and I’m excited to share a few with you. Seems like online shopping continues to be the favorite, so load up your cart and ho ho ho, a shopping we will go!

For the past few years, I’ve been fortunate to collaborate with Frank Family Wines and their generous charities. It’s a win-win because when you give back, you also are treated to their award-winning wines.

Have you checked out the beautiful and talented Giada De Laurentiis lately? Her site Giadzy is loaded with Italian must-haves. You can order gift sets that are ready to go, and I think these are a terrific gift idea. Who doesn’t need a little pasta??!!

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and happy holidays - I wish you peace, joy, and health to you and your loved ones. As we move forward, may we choose to release the past—to release bitterness and release failures & missed opportunities? Instead, may we embrace grace and power to boldly move forward into the blessings that await us for the coming year in 2023.

Blessings to you and your family and always, Thank you for reading and following along.

Enjoy this season & Keep calm and carry on.

xx, Janet

HEALTHY HAPPY INSIDES

HEALTHY+CHOICES= HAPPY LIFE

Glowing from the inside     Cooking with The Blue Zones Solution - IKARIA & Everyday Italian 

Life is not just about how long we live, it's also how well we live. What we put in our bodies can extend our vessels for years longer if we  just have the information and make smart choices.  Here are three of my favorite cookbooks I like to use.  The Blue Zones Solution  teaches you about healthy diets and habits to extend your life. It's a fact that making changes in your diet can reverse the progression of aging, even heart disease.  And ladies, please educate yourself on your heart.  Take the steps to prevent it by practicing healthy lifestyle habits!  

IKARIA by-Diane Kochilas.   is located in the middle part of the Aegean, it's known as the island where people do not live by the clock. It's home to some of the longest-living people on earth. I love the beautiful salads and the vegetable dishes. Everyday Italian by Giada De Laurentiis, I   love her colorful tomato & seafood salads and you can't beat her  yummy pasta recipes! I personally enjoy the prepping and the chopping, especially when you can cook with your family or friends.
