Issue No. 1107: July 2021
Hello Friends! Like many of you, I travel a lot in the summer. Whether it’s a vacation or I’m on the road for our show, I like to bring a few comforts of home along with me. In today’s newsletter, I’m sharing some of my must-have travel essentials, plus healthy DIY snacks to pack in your cooler. We’ve also got our favorite places to eat around the state and a refreshing wine to pour when you get to your final destination. Find all of this and more below.

Cheers!

This summer, plan ahead and pack one (or all!) of these super-easy road-tested snacks. Get the recipes HERE.
