The Snowball Effect!  This episode is inspired by the February 2019 snowstorm that happened where I live in Oregon.  As I walked through my neighborhood after about 3 ½ feet of snow had fallen I witnessed some sweet acts of kindness and made some other observations which I’m now calling ‘The Snowball Effect’.  Funny how tough times and disasters (even more minor ones like a huge snowfall) can bring out the best of humanity.  I also share an old-fashioned recipe from my childhood for Snow Cream.  xo @donnabrittcooks

The Snowball Effect

Stephanie O’Brien’s cancer diagnosis five years ago was, according to her, an awakening.  Her response to her dis-ease (as she now refers to it) was immediate changes to how she was living her life.  Those changes included what she ate, who she hung out with and how she moved through her days.  She transformed … into living her life authentically and living with purpose. She learned so much and she now experiences MAGIC all around her!  Her story is beautiful as well as inspiring and you can hear it for yourself in this episode of the FoodLife podcast. Thanks for sharing Stephanie 😊 . xo @donnabrittcooks

Wake Up Call - Stephanie's Story

Ok, this episode all started when I found the small mustard seed pendant that my Granny gave me when I was a little girl.  I’ve had this little charm tucked in a jewelry box for decades, moving it back and forth across the country several times yet somehow not losing it!  I’ve never worn it, until now! In this episode I tell the story behind the gift from my grandmother and how it connects to a recent birthday gift from a best friend … and how that all leads to a Bible parable and a pickle recipe from Mother Maybelle Carter!!  I hope you have as much fun listening as I do telling you this tale! xo @donnabrittcooks

Move That Mountain - Lessons From A Mustard Seed

A view from the top of the Empire State Building reminded me of how important it is to get some ‘altitude’ in life sometimes!  It’s easy for me to get wrapped up in the small stuff – to lose sight of the ‘forest for the trees’.

How can I (we) rise above things and get that needed altitude? Join me in this FoodLife episode and we’ll talk that out. 😊  Oh and we’ll make some homemade Latin Hot Pockets --  EMPANADAS – inspired by the ones I got from Empanada Mama’s in NYC.  

This is my first time to make them and it was way easier than I thought it would be, so I know that you can do it too.  xo @donnabrittcooks
