From My Table

And if you’re like me, a work-at-home mother, you might be finding the current working environment as eye-opening as I am. See, professionalism is put on a high pedestal, and those who have aced this skill are on the path towards success, apparently, as this image must be pursued with the exception of all else. (I’m saying this tongue-in-cheek, in case it wasn’t clear.)

Until recently, I also strived for this squeaky-clean work environment. Today, though, so many of us are shushing our kids together, that shiny image is nonexistent, and professionalism has been placed on the back burner. Those who are truly shining in the work world now are those who can multitask and work gracefully under pressure, and it becomes clearer than ever that it’s not about what we look like, but about what we produce.

I’m proud to work with creative people like Miriam Pascal who can work with what they have (literally) and produce magic from their pantries and their laptops, keeping up with the thirst for great Family Table content.

Tuna Tweak

Lately, I’ve chopping red cabbage really finely and adding it to my tuna. I love the crunch — and of course the color!
