Editor's Note - January 2024

 

Happy January! After a holiday season full of indulgence, we dedicate most of this issue to featuring healthy recipes. We challenged Buzz residents Pam Morris and her daughter Sophie and family friend Roderick Austin, all passionate home cooks, to share some favorite, simple dishes. And Andria Dilling compiled recipes that have appeared on our online “Back Porch Table” column that are all healthy and delicious. But despite the focus on good-for-you meals, I have been absorbed in a new personal mantra: “Order the cake.” I recently listened to an interview with actor John Stamos talking about the loss of his dear friend Bob Saget. One quote from the interview struck me and has stuck with me ever since: “Order the cake.” You’ll have to read more in this month’s Back Porch column to understand. Here’s to a healthy, happy new year. And don’t forget to order the cake. [email protected]
