Author: Lanie Fioretti

My name is Lanie Fioretti and although I am not a classically trained chef or a degreed nutritionist, I have been studying food and nutrition voraciously since the early seventies. After working in public health and private practice for 22 years, I retired my dental hygiene license. I have taught cooking classes at Whole Foods and Central Market, done product development for a bakery in east Texas, catered, and been a personal chef. I usually think of myself as an improvisational cook!

Get Ready for Fall Gardening

Posted on August 14, 2012August 22, 2016 by Lanie Fioretti

I got my seed order this past week, and as usual I went overboard, but I really needed it all!  Some of the seeds will get stored until spring planting time.  The deer are marauding again, so I have to rethink some of my areas I plant.  I ordered most of my seeds from Seed…
