**THIS CONTEST HAS ENDED** Flipping through the latest issue of Better Homes & Gardens and seeing and smelling gorgeous flowers blooming around me, there’s no doubt spring is in full swing. It’s a time for new beginnings (and spring cleaning). To celebrate, I’m hosting a giveaway for a $10 gift card valid at participating Ben…
I’m writing this post after gobbling up my homemade dinner based on a lentil sprout saute recipe created by Sarasota chef Vicki Chelf. How was it? Mmm, mmm, mmm. Delish if I say so myself. And, pretty easy and quick to make but as Chelf mentioned during Saturday’s workshop at Worden Farm in Punta Gorda,…
Buckled into the only passenger seat of the custom-built experimental RV* aircraft behind pilot Mike “Kahuna” Stewart I read the “warning” sign staring at me. Passenger Warning.

Having visited London several times for business, I’m pretty comfortable navigating through the city and am considering a trip across the pond to see some of the 2012 Olympics….
Watching and listening to food writer Vicki Chelf as she moved through the Florida House kitchen in Sarasota, Fla., on Saturday was much like observing an artist handed a box of materials and told “go create something.” Chelf is an accomplished artist but she’s also a twenty-first century Julia Child.
