SNEAK PEEKHOME GIFT GUIDE RECIPE FILE

Starting a magazine is a bit like having a baby Ive tried both recently so youll have to take my word Both endeavors require a temporary lapse in sanity sleep deprivation and a whole lot of cupcake runs The first several weeks after we had our baby boy friends and family signed up to bring us mountains of tabouli fried rice and Thai turkey wraps (a personal favorite) We didnt lift a finger to put together a meal for more than a month Most of those weeks are a blur I do however vividly recall crying one night when my husband thoughtlessly double stacked a paper plate I was sure his gross oversight would lead to a house-hold plate shortage If we ran out of plates how would we survive parenthood Eventually miraculously my hormones restored balance sleep patterns regained normalcy and my husband breathed a little easier when serving dinner It takes a village to raise a child In those weeks following our sons birth we learned the truth in that clicheacute This launch certainly took a village but instead of meals photogra-phers designers and stylists brought loads of talent inspiration and hard work to the table Cheers to my wildly creative friends and colleagues cheers to my husband with his new-found grasp of paper plate preservation and cheers to you our lovely readers May your holidays be merry and bright

Recipe inspirations

I get a lot of inspiration from reci-

pes I fell in love with growing up

Also Im convinced there is no

better place to be inspired than

when traveling Delicious local

food authentic to its area is about

the best thing in the world

Do you bring your work

homeUnless Im filming on set I work

from my own kitchen so cooking

I do for work often ends up being

dinner I enjoy cooking at home

but Im not opposed to pizza de-

livery every now and thene

When did the TV bug

biteI interned at a cooking show in

college and really fell in love

with food television I knew that

whether in front of or behind the

camera I wanted to be working

on a cooking show someday

Ideal Christmas dinner

Im a big fan of the classics so I

like a traditional honey glazed

ham fresh homemade rolls

mashed potatoes roasted root

vegetables egg nog to drink and

gingerbread cookies for dessert

Easiest go-to meal

Pasta I probably make it far too

often but I love making simple

sauces to slather in pasta on a

weeknight I use pantry staples -

canned tomatoes onions garlic

and never skimp on Parmesan

3 most used kitchen

tools

1 My cast iron skillet

2 A good sharp chefs knife

3 Wooden spoons and spring

loaded tongs (sorry 4 I couldnt

decide)

Ten year plan

Hopefully a few more healthy

babies filling a home we feel com-

fortable in a thriving career that

is well balanced with my family

priorities and lots of really really

good meals along the way

Tell us about mom-hood

[Ollie] was in the hospital for 66

days after being born It was by

far the most challenging thing Ive

ever been through I spent a lot

of time on his nursery and wrote

daily notes to him to feel more

like a mom [until he came home]

Best Christmas traditions

youll pass on to Ollie

Mexican food with family at our

favorite restaurant the week

before Christmas making ginger-

bread houses with neighbors and

hosting a cookie swap each year
