Every Day with Rachael Ray

Every Day with Rachael Ray Here’s a hat-trick of clips that do double-duty: writing and recipe development. Leftover Champagne? It's fondue time! Don’t pass over those remaining matzos, use them for a treat so kosher I tested the recipe thrice! No need to thank me. Just pay me. On time is preferable.

The Wall Street Journal

The Wall Street Journal It's not all lipstick and lollipops here… It's WALL STREET JOURNAL time. This clip is all about going back to school as an adult, but in a classy WSJ way and not a hilarious Rodney Dangerfield way. And by "classy WSJ," I do mean prior to Rupert Murdoch ownership.

Hawaiian Tropic for Target

Hawaiian Tropic for Target I stay covered in SPF when out in the hot, hot sun. When Target stores needed content for their Hawaiian Tropic digital mag, I covered it in fun. It’s one thing to capture eyeballs, but clients love how my copy keeps them reading. (In this case, through stylish Target sunglasses.)

The Melt for Meijer

The Melt The Melt is North America's premier in-store cheese newsletter. The 12+ issues I have written have elevated dairy discourse in one of the biggest grocery purveyors in the U.S. with educational cheese profiles, interesting pairing tips, scrumptious recipes, and delicious puns.

Every Day with Rachael Ray

Every Day with Rachael Ray. Tired of cooking? Then you’ll dig my Ray-Ray clips on the lifestyle tip. Sparks will fly when you read about patriotic places to hit on your Philly trip. Then learn if that processed grocery store juice is your friend. (But it's up to you to decide if Dewar’s is really your buddy.)

Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics

Eat Right. This clip is about the health benefits of coffee. Coffee, coffee, coffee. I no longer drink coffee, but if I did I would totally use this piece as an excuse to keep drinking it. I do drink tea. Only green tea though. Sometimes herbal at night.
