Gray Ghost Vineyards – Taste & Tour

November 12, 2017 By Jana Leave a Comment

Gray Ghost Vineyards and Winery Collage

Gray Ghost Vineyards and Winery might possibly be the most recommended winery I've come to know. Because Gray Ghost is local to my area, I had waited to visit since I could do so without prearranged planning. Turns out that was like waiting to cash in a winning lottery ticket. Get comfy because I've got a lot to tell (and show) you! I'm celebrating a milestone of sorts: This is my 20th Virginia Winery Taste and Tour post! So I wanted it to be special. As you may remember from my ...

Aspen Dale Winery at the Barn – Taste & Tour

December 4, 2016 By Jana Leave a Comment

Building on the diverse lineup of wineries clustered among the hills of Delaplane, Aspen Dale Winery at the Barn stands solidly among its peers. One of the few wineries to actually merge Virginia's horse and wine country into a one-stop experience, Aspen Dale will be a hit from excited toddlers to sophisticated wine connoisseurs. You'd be hard pressed to find a member of your group who won't find something endearing about this winery. The Winery . . . As soon as you turn down the gravel ...

Breaux Vineyards – Taste & Tour

August 14, 2016 By Jana Leave a Comment

Breaux Vineyards - Overlook

In the far northern corner of Virginia, just a few miles from both Maryland and West Virginia, resides one of Virginia's most glorious winemaking regions. Loudoun County boasts dozens of wonderful wineries. And if they were laid across the rolling hills like some spectacular constellation, Breaux Vineyards could arguably be its Polaris. As grand as it is delightful, Breaux understands not only winemaking, but the overall wine experience. Located in one of Virginia's most densely populated ...

Barrel Oak Winery – Taste & Tour

Barrel Oak Winery - Jana in Field

Traversing the rolling hills of western Fauquier County, Virginia on I-66, you can't help but do a double-take at the expansive wood and glass winery atop a vine-enveloped knoll. A scene that stands with such promise that you'll find yourself automatically pulling off the highway in search of this destination. And its name is Barrel Oak Winery. Less than an hour from downtown Washington, Barrel Oak invites you for a visit--but demands you spend the day! As impressive as the winery and ...

Are you already wondering what to do with your Tha Are you already wondering what to do with your Thanksgiving leftovers? 🤷‍♀️ Check out my new video on YouTube (link in bio ☝️ ) where I share three creative ideas for scrumptious dishes you can make with your leftovers. All of this deliciousness is (of course) plant-based, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free!😍 Do you love Thanksgiving leftovers, or are you one-n-done❓❓
Pantry problems?? When was the last time you clean Pantry problems?? When was the last time you cleaned it out or gave it a re-org? Whether your pantry has a door or is a cabinet in your kitchen, it pays to give it some TLC once in a while. 💕 I find it plays a key role in preparing meals at home--making it realistic and doable, not dread-worthy. 😣 From freeing up space by tossing items that have exceeded their shelf life to arranging items based on frequecy of use, you'll reap the reward everytime you step into your kitchen!! 💯

When was the last time you did a pantry purge❓ Would you find it helpful if I provided a step by step post or video❓ Let me know in the comments below! 🙋‍♀️🙌😊
I grew up appreciating and loving my mother’s ha I grew up appreciating and loving my mother’s handcrafted fudge. One of the many things I always looked forward to in the holiday season was mom churning out large bowls of this fudge to gift. Naturally, someone had to taste every batch and assure it was gift-worthy! 🙋‍♀️😁
[]
While this recipe is dramatically different in ingredients from traditional fudge, the taste is identical to moms. Identical. It requires only six ingredients, but you may be really surprised by one of them. Being a fudge purist, I ensured this exquisite yet simple dessert is nothing short of a pure, chocolate delight. I use coconut sugar instead of the "sugar coma" inducing refined sugars, and for that creamy goodness I use a ripe avocado. Yep! NO avocado flavor. Use a nice ripe avocado and this chocolate goodness is mouth-watering indulgent but healthier too!”

I created this recipe for Creamy Avocado Fudge years ago, and have gotten so many requests for it that I included it in my new Eat Well, Be Well cookbook! Link above. ☝️ 🥑🍫😋
I want to share a personal bit that I didn't inclu I want to share a personal bit that I didn't include when writing the Introduction to Eat Well, Be Well. In the Intro, I talk about some of the reasons I wrote the book. While they stand true, there is another layer I did not address.

My father was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes when I was young. Even then, there was a link established between dietary modifications and the progression of this disease. His doctors told him that he could dramatically slow the progression by changing his diet. Over the years we watched my father try to change the way he ate, but he would always return to his prior way of eating. Healthy food recipes that tasted delicious simply did not exist back then, or were very scarce.
[]
My father's disease progressed from oral medication to insulin injections to a loss of vision and ultimately kindney failure. He passed away at a very young age, in his mid 50's, after a failed kidney transplant. It was devastating, as is always the case in the loss of a loved one.
[]
One of the many thoughts that stuck with me over the years after his passing was the feeling that it didn't have to be that way. I know I'm not alone. Many feel this way when faced with the loss of a loved one. But I wanted to do something, if even in a very small way, to help other people avert premature loss.
[]
My greatest inspiration for creating these recipes is to use a loss for good. Making food that is life promoting and nourishing, yet doesn't make you feel like you are sacrificing by abstaining from palate pleasing flavors. I create these recipes to provide people that are battling preventable diseases, or want to be a healthier version of themselves, alternatives to the life-robbing foods. Ones that don't require isolation at the dinner table. Dishes that can be shared and enjoyed by all!
[]
I know my father would be happily picking up his fork to eat these recipes on repeat, and for me that is the ultimate satisfaction!
[]
What inspires you to do what you do?❓❓ 💗😊💯
