    In this episode I talk with Marcella Kriebel who thinks about food everyday. Not just in the way you or I might. She’s thinking about foods ability to connect people in meaningful ways, about its capacity to break down the barriers of language opening up a more soulful dialog through making meals together. Marcella's work and illustrations of food have appeared on NPR, Design Sponge, epecurius and DCist to name a few. Her work is filled with love and honesty and I had the pleasure of talking with her about her art, travels and what inspires her recipes.

Handmade objects are filled with unique stories from the people who make them and the places they come from. All the love, hope and and thoughtfulness that goes into something before it makes its way into your home makes it that more unique. These are some of the things I talk about with Amy and Casey from Foxwood Co. A local family-owned business that creates unique handmade objects that are both functional and inspirational works of art.
