• BLOG — Spice the new salt

  By Lauren HeatonAugust 14, 2010

• BLOG — The ranch dressing challenge

  By Lauren HeatonJuly 6, 2010

  

  I’m not a mom, but I am a step-mom. I’m a step-mom who likes to cook all manner of new and surprising dishes and try them out on my captive consumers. Well, actually they wouldn’t eat it any other way.

• BLOG — Weathered l’Auberge a Dayton institution

  When Kirk and I got engaged in 2006 we went to l’Auberge to celebrate. Dayton’s renowned French restaurant had just remodeled in nouveau Art Deco with bold colors, soft high-back chairs and theatrical salt and pepper shakers.
