I wrote my very first Think Tasty recipe in June 2007. Since then, I have written 874 more. I also have written restaurant reviews, chef interviews, random food thoughts, and more.
Over its lifespan Think Tasty's team has ebbed and flowed. In the beginning, the writing was done solely by me. When PeKu became a bigger company, I added other writers and different food topics. Along with my team of writers, we conducted chef interviews and product reviews; we had an

It's the holiday season, which is my favorite time of year. In the past I've written about my love of all things December. However, 2020 has had a nice way of putting a damper on some of that excitement.

As our marriage was a second for both my husband and me, we didn't start our relationship with just the two of us. Rather, it began with four children and a couple animals. Thus, a good amount of our time from the very beginning was spent with the usual family activities- sports, school, adventures, and more.
However, no matter the age of your children or the newness of your relationship, it's important to have time for just the two of you. Without meaning to do

Sometimes it's more than you imagine.
When I first launched this publishing company in July 2008 I named it Wasabi Media Group. I chose this name as I had been an entrepreneur in residence at Wasabi Ventures and thought it could be beneficial to be known as part of that family.
Over the next four-ish years, I made three discoveries. First, because I had an affiliation with Wasabi Ventures and shared their name, many people assumed my company was venture-related. Second, using
