Cheri Thriver<\/strong><\/p>\n

Writer, cook, recipe & product creator, mother, and grandmother. As a University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences volunteer, I review grant proposals for the Translational Research Institute, and have served as an Advisor on the PFCC Hospital Advisory Council, and as a Patient Advisor on the Quality, Experience, & Safety Team. I am certified in Mental Health First Aid.<\/p>\n

I started baking apricot cakes and pumpkin bread for my mom to give away when I was 7 or 8 years old and I’ve been cooking ever since.\u00a0I gardened with my grandmother who taught me to make chili and bake cookies.\u00a0When James and Ben were small, I began baking homemade bread and rolls. I love playing with flavors.<\/p>\n

In 2003, I eliminated gluten from my diet. More recently, I’ve had to limit histamine. These limitations provide me an opportunity to be resourceful and inventive. I love that and I love sharing the results of culinary experiments with you!<\/p>\n

\"James<\/a>
James loves to use exotic spices!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

James W. Honaker<\/strong><\/p>\n

Colorist for movies & television, husband, and father of two boys. I have also worked as a graphic designer, web designer, video editor, and studio equipment consultant. You can find a list of my projects on IMDB https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm2421941\/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I don’t remember learning to cook, I could just do it.\u00a0 I see food combinations in my head. I never measure, and I make a mean sweet potato pie.<\/p>\n

Lawyer, husband, composer of the Cooking2Thrive theme song, and father of three children\u2013two healthy boys and a medically fragile girl with Down Syndrome. My daughter had a G-tube (gastrostomy tube) through which she received food and meds.<\/p>\n

I am in the habit of monitoring the protein, fat, and fiber content of all the foods in my diet, but the feeding difficulty we’ve experienced with my daughter has brought a whole new set of nutritional lessons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
