Not only did I attend Life Chef's demonstration at the Piedmont Park Green Market last Saturday, but I went to the grocery store to purchase items for one of the YUMMY salads that she featured! I'll be adding her blog to my list to check to be sure! If you have a chance to see one of her demonstrations, you WON'T be sorry! :-D I've blogged about her too.

Hey Regina I'm going to check that out now. Thanks! Glad it turned out well.

Anonymous: The Grill Master is a busy guy. I was lucky he was able to come out an assist! Maybe we'll get lucky again and he can make an appearance at a future class. Glad you enjoyed yourself.
