Travels with Chip- Guess where we went?
There is not a day, nor frankly, a moment that goes by that I don’t feel the unfathomable loss of Chip. It hits me when I attempt the mind and body quiet of yoga. It is a stab in the heart when I am alone in the cheese section of Wegmans. It is a pain to see my...
Cheese Heals- Wegmans Sweet 16 and Professor Brie Cave Cheese
Amelia and Nick, aka Skates, met me at Wegmans in Dewitt, NY, before meeting up with Jack and his friends at Twin Trees Too in Solvay, NY. Chip and I loved to go to Wegmans, and we basked in the selection of cheeses. We would talk about what we would make with them or...

About Me
Hello and welcome.
I am often asked, “What is Pasta on the Floor?”
Pasta on the Floor is different for everyone. It is a recipe that tells a story and inspires them to try something new. For others, stories of family, joy, loss, and hope engage with them.
