About six months ago I was sitting at a large round table that seats eight-to-ten in a log cabin lodge, alongside a huge fireplace with crackling wood and a burning fire. About 80 other food-bloggers were chatting it up about what it is we food-bloggers do, when a petite little firecracker of a gal stood up to speak. Her name: Marla Meridith. Trust me when I tell you she grabbed my attention. I tucked my unofficial-far-from-her-table introduction away in the back of my mind. I thought to myself, "now there's someone I want to meet." Sure, she's a fiesty, high-energy gal, but what really appealed to me was her strong belief in herself! Little did I know that only about four months later I would be bumping right into her at another food-bloggers meeting (we food-bloggers like to get together) in of all places...the ladies' room! Well, not to be one who will let a moment pass her by, I completely ignored our location and introduced myself! "Hi there, I'm Mac. We both attended Camp Blogaway this past May. It's nice to finally meet you in person!" Let me tell ya, Marla took our meeting in stride. We chatted just a bit, then I slipped quietly back out to rejoin the meeting. It was then I knew I HAD to get the word out to you about Marla and her fun, family-friendly, healthy-recipe blog.The timing is perfect, too. Let's face it, after all the holiday eating we've done, and are about to do, we're ALL going to be in need of a healthy-recipe food-blog to follow like Marla's Family Fresh Cooking!
Take a listen to our chat, and get to know Marla just a bit better. You'll find out where she spent two months out of every year during her childhood, and how that location helped to influence her healthy cooking style. She'll tell you, too, how to make her famous breakfast Stuffed French Toast, along with her Pumpkin Ricotta Stuffed French Toast. Enjoy!
