Meet the Artist Becky Guarisco.jpg

Meet the Artist: Becky Guarisco (giveaway closed)

Meet the talented Becky Guarisco!  She's an artist and a graphic designer with a heart for all animals!  She is not only amazing what she does, but she is also one of the most lovely people I have ever been around!  Becky specializes in painting watercolor portraits of dogs, but has recently added cats (and soon horses) to her list of paintings.

She has a background in graphic design and is an assistant art director for a company here in Louisiana, but has always found time to do her own art work in her free time.  Painting and drawing have always been a part of her life and she has never imagined a life without it!

Country Table: Farm to Fork

Meet Kallie and Lauren...the founders of the growing farm to fork delivery service, Country Table.  If you live in the Baton Rouge, Louisiana area you might already be familiar with the services that these two ladies are providing.  If not, you need to get familiar...and I'm here to help you out a little bit!  I had the pleasure of sitting down and getting to know all about, what they are all about and I couldn't resist sharing it with you!

I am a huge fan of buying local food and creating your weekly menu based off of whatever is available for the season and the week.  You know where it came from, you are supporting local farmers, and it just tastes so much better! 

Country Table is doing it right...bringing local produce, meats, fresh eggs, and even beauty products right to your doorstep, doing the hard work for you...all you have to do is eat it! 

Pretty awesome!  Just look at these berries!

Chatting with the Lovely Gaby Dalkin

Hey guys!  Today I have such a treat for you!  About a week ago, I was lucky enough to spend some time on the phone getting to know the crazy talented Gaby Dalkin (pictured above).  If you don't know her yet, you are going to want to check her out!  Gaby is the author of the popular blog What's Gaby Cooking and of the cookbook Absolutely Avocados.

She is exactly as she seems on her blog, bubbly, full of life, and has such a passion for food.  Her style of cooking has a southwestern flair and is relatively healthy using tons of fresh ingredients straight from the farmer's market!  Her one exception to her healthy dishes is the occasional indulgence of a decadent dessert!   Her dishes are super colorful and very doable for anyone!

In addition to being an amazing chef, Gaby is a lover of travel and experiencing culture through the food that she eats.  She's the best friend that you want to hang out with on  Friday night!  I could not have had more fun talking with her and I hope you guys will enjoy getting to know her also! 

You have to go check out her cookbook and her blog, you will not be disappointed!

Here is the interview, enjoy!
