One Year: Outside of the Box
Clark College has been good to me! One year ago today, August 27th, my cookbook, “Shop, Cook, Eat: Outside of the Box” hit the shelves at Clark College Bookstore as a required text in the curriculum for students enrolled in “Health 100: Food and Your Health” and as a recommended text for students in “Health […]
What’s for dinner? Chicken Tikka Masala
I’ve said this before, but it’s worthy of repeating…With a well-stocked kitchen you can whip up a meal in a cinch, whole natural ingredients lend for creativity, and with spices on hand you can travel the world. Tonight’s meal was evidence of those statements, the result was Indian Cuisine in the comfort of my home […]
Outside of the Box at the Camas Public Library
Last night, I gave an obesity and health talk at the Camas Public Library. Since it was my first time visiting the branch, I browsed around before I made my way upstairs to the room where I would speak. What a quaint, charming library. The Camas Farmers Market was in full swing outside of the […]
Olivia’s Outside of the Box Cheese Crackers

Taste of Summer: Pulled BBQ Chicken Sandwich w/ Cilantro Lime Slaw
I’ve become obsessed with what I call a Simple Slaw: Hand-chopped green and red cabbage, grated carrots, cilantro, and sliced green onions (with a sprinkle of salt and lime juice). Ooooo…It’s fresh, crunchy, and oh so good. I typically serve it with an Asian style to-die-for homemade Teriyaki sauce or a ridiculous made from scratch […]
What’s Happening in August
I’ve always been a fan of the public library system — promoting books, reading, literacy, and community activities. It’s a great honor to be invited to speak at not one but two local libraries this month. What a way to end the summer! Up first…I’ll be back at the Cascade Park Community Library hangin’ out […]
