I recommend her book to anyone to read that is going through struggles, again, not just an eating disorder. Gorgeous, moody photographs from an interesting artist. I've also picked up a lot of dressings/rubs/marinades that are go to's for me now.
If I can get home an hour before my wife, I know with Plated I can get a great dinner on the table before she arrives. She has written a VERY well organized book about her journey of learning The Hidden Curriculum. If your organization touches, uses, processes, and/or re
