Lake Austin Spa is the perfect desitination for someone that wants to be comfortable, spa, enjoy food, and take exercise classes. Even though it is June and hot in Texas, it didn’t stop us from going on paddle boats to my daughters laying out in the sun. I arrived without make-up and the only time I got dressed was when I gave my presentation , “Secrets To Sizzle At Any Age” (about cooking, aging and my new book) and after, I immediately changed back to my exercise clothes uniform. For me, the food is creative, delicious, and satisying–some of the best and since it is included, I would order extra of dishes I wanted to try. I was there during Culinary Week which is why I gave my presentation. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, appetizers and 3:00pm and yogurt all day, I promise you won’t go hungry. And, the treatments are probably some of the best I have ever had. The Hot Stone Massage, my facial and my Head To Toe (scalp and feet massage) were all heavenly. And all the activities were fun to try–did nautical noodles (pool exercise) to kettle ball.–more classes than you could imagine. I love Lake Austin Spa, most, because it is comfortable, no rules, accommodating and everyone has a smile. So, pack up for a fun getaway with your daughter, mother or friend and the only bad part is you have to leave back to reality.
And, my friend in the photo, is Winnelle Elder who has been on the brochure of Lake Austin Spa. She was with her two lovely daughters!
I will be in Philly on The 10! Show on NBC with a salmon recipes for the busy person–how to create an easy dinner meal with options. Easy Roasted Salmon and Glazed Salmon are two of my favorites that easily can turn into another meal that is family pleasing. Most importantly, you want to begin with fresh salmon! How do you know it is fresh-well, I always look for salmon from Maine and Atlantic Canada–as it was probably swimming two days ago and you can taste the difference!
If you are in the area, come by Weis Markets and I will be there to show you how to be the multi-task mom with your daily dinners!

One of my favorite stops is always 9News at 4 in Denver. Salmon is quick cooking and a go to recipe for me. Everyone raves about this easy gourmet-on-the go recipe for Salmon Marsala. I keep a bottle of Holland House Marsala cooking wine in my pantry for a pantry-friendly wine–and I LOVE the flavor of Marsala. And, remember, salmon is packed with heart healthy omega fatty acids…give the recipe a try!
