I’m a writer and health advocate living in the beautiful Pacific Northwest and working on two master’s degrees: one in creative writing (MFA – fiction) and one in public health (MPH – maternal & child health). Yes, it’s an unusual combination.
I care about nutrition, social justice, words and stories, community, sustainability, and the natural world. I spend my time writing, frolicking, cooking, foraging, reading and researching. I frequent farmers’ markets, share Shabbos dinners, and seek out interesting and kind people.
I like the bumper sticker that says, “I’d rather be here, now,” but in reality I’d probably rather be picking berries.
I’ve been published in the New York Times food blog, JT News (found online at jew-ish.com), and the Jew and the Carrot blog.

Love the blog-thanks for the invitation and the inspiration
I had been trying to get together some Seattle area bloggers together for dinner The Cordoba House and in trying to connect with local food bloggers we have been given an opportunity.
I received an e-mail from Jan Marie Johnson who is the owner/operator of Seattle Bites Food Tours. I met Jan Marie last year on her tour of Pike Place Market and had such a fabulous time!!! Her tours are a couple of hours in length and she introduces you to many of the vendors and owners at Pike Place Market, plus there are free samples of wine, clam chowder, chocolate, crepes, etc, etc. You can visit her site at http://www.seattlebitesfoodtours.com .
Jan Marie has offered us all a free tour (she will waive the $40 fee) of the Pike Place Market ….Saturday May 1st at 1:15. We will get a charming cultural Seattle tour which pairs memorable stories of the market and its merchants with delicious gourmet food and drink. She asks that in return we do a blog post on our sites about her tour!!!!!
If you would be able to take this free tour for food bloggers only with Jan Marie please leave a message and more information to follow. I see this as a way to connect with other area food bloggers and have a little fun along the way.
I am actually from the province of Brotosh Columbia but have been adopted by several Seattle based bloggers as one of their own. It allows me the opportunity to do something “foodie” while on holiday.
Warmest Wishes,
That sounds really interesting! Please do send me more information. Whether I can make it will depend on obligations around that time. Among other things, it’s two weeks before my fiction thesis is due.
Thanks,
Debs
