This week I’ll introduce you to long time friend Barbara Seelig-Brown. Today we will be talking about her journey in food and her latest book; The Healthy Home Cookbook – Diabetes-Friendly Recipes for Holidays, Parties, and Everyday Celebration.
Whether it’s a holiday celebration, an after-church family get-together, or just a small dinner party among friends, food is central to almost any gathering of family and friends. Designed around the notion that everyone should enjoy hearty family favorites or adventurous party bites, Barbara Seelig-Brown has pulled together a collection of healthy dishes and festive recipes that everyone in a group can enjoy. Each recipe is designed to be flavorful and satisfying yet healthy. The days of separate foods for partygoers are a thing of the past. Now anyone looking to entertain can feature a full spread with dishes that everyone can enjoy guilt-free. From small bites to get-togethers, full courses for a dinner party, to satisfying favorites for a Sunday football marathon, The Healthy Home Cookbook is packed with recipes and meal-planning tips that will have everyone wanting more.
Barbara Seelig-Brown is the host of the TV cooking show, Stress Free Cooking, and author of the companion cookbook. Her career in food began when she was inspired in the kitchen by her mother and grandmother. Since then, she has been teaching healthy cooking classes and has been writing about food and wine so that others can share in her love of cooking. Her extensive culinary knowledge comes from a long career as a cookbook author, food columnist, radio personality, food blogger, and television host.
Good Life Guy’s Wine of the Week:
2012 Marqués de Cáceres Rosé
Bright pink; juicy, crisp and spicy with lovely raspberry and strawberry fruit; tangy, balanced and fresh, always one of my favorite rosés. 85% Tempranillo, 15% Garnacha. If you’re thinking spring, this is the answer, dry yet round and rich for a rosé.
It’s Rosé Month at Jacob Liquor Exchange on North Rock Road…Stop by Saturday between 2-4:00 p.m. for a free sample of this wine and a few other fine pink wines!
