On this week's show, I'm celebrating the one-year anniversary of the Liz's Healthy Table podcast. Time flies by quickly when you build something new, so I'm taking a breath today, looking back on my food adventures from the year, and thanking all of you with a chance to win a $50 Amazon gift card! I have a new recipe to share for Arugula, Apple & Brussels Sprouts Salad, and my husband Tim joins me for his annual "cameo" to tell you how he survived the year and to share highlights from our recent vacation in Riviera Maya, Mexico. It's a fun show, so I hope you'll stick around and tune in. 

GIVEAWAY: To thank you for listening to the first session of the Liz's Healthy Table podcast, I'm giving away a $50.00 Amazon gift card to one lucky winner.
