My mother’s love language was “acts of service.” She served her family nearly every day with the most delicious and nutritious Korean dishes.

To her, homemade food was a vehicle to drive her love into our bellies and memories.

Korean Braised Chicken, also known as Jjimdak (찜닭) in Korean, is one of those dishes that continues to bring me comfort, reminding me of my mother’s love.

I’m so excited that my mother and her recipe will be featured in A LIFE WELL FED: RECIPES TO REMEMBER, alongside some of my favorite chefs Ina Garten, Emeril Lagasse and Paul Prudhomme.

A LIFE WELL FED is a cookbook filled with more than 100 recipes that celebrate connection and the people we never want to forget.

The best part—100% of the proceeds from this cookbook will be donated to the and other organizations that are dedicated to supporting care, research, and the fight to end this disease.

Please join me! To order your copy, click the link in bio or visit alifewellfed.org. Together, we can honor those we’ve lost and fight for a future without Alzheimer’s, one delicious recipe at a time. 💜

A few things I’ve learned about Diwali:
• Diwali means “row of lights”
• The festival celebrates the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil.
• The lights are said to help the Hindu goddess of wealth, Lakshmi, find her way into people’s home to bring prosperity
• Diwali is as important to Hindus as the Christmas holiday is to Christians

Thank you for these beautiful pieces.

Happy Diwali!

I’m truly honored to join the Board of Directors for the Alzheimer’s Association, Georgia Chapter.

Let me tell you why.

As many of you know, my mother has been suffering from this horrible brain disease for at least six years. She is now in the advanced stages of this merciless disorder. When my mom started showing signs, like forgetting my birthday and failing to recognize my daughter, I turned to the . My family and I felt lost. We felt isolated as phone calls from her friends and siblings slowed down. We had so many questions about how to handle this disease.

How do we know for sure that my mom has Alzheimer’s? (We were in denial)
Where do we go for a proper work-up and diagnosis?
When is the right time to hire a caregiver?
Is an assisted living facility or nursing home right for mom?

The Alzheimer’s Association® was with us every step of the way, pointing us in the right direction and connecting us to the experts we needed.

As a CNN news anchor, I went public with my family’s journey (which I struggled with) and it was the right decision. I have heard from so many of you. It reminded me of the prevalence of this disease (7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s) and reaffirmed that together we can and will end Alzheimer’s.

Today, I am grateful to be in a position to pay it forward by raising awareness, guiding others in the same predicament, and also helping raise funds for research and a cure! So when you see me knocking on your inbox, please lend an ear when I ask for your support!

Paris with a dear friend is always a great idea ❤️

Endless talks and aimless walks.
Fois gras, steak tartare, oysters, and tarts.
A frightening Airbnb 🤣😱
And Lebanese ice cream!

Belly is full. Heart is filled.

Mallorca, you were so hot!

But your aqua blue sea, tinto de verano, fresh calamari, and the best fish of my life, made my sun rash mostly worth it.

Muchas gracias para el hermoso tiempo con mi familia! Hasta luego!

We hiked up big rocks and through beautiful mountain fields, took a dip in a glacial lake, hung out with the cows, biked alongside mountain streams, took in every vista like it was our last, and ingested every meal like it was our last.

The kids fed llamas and donkeys, discovered new mountain-top playgrounds, caught tadpoles, paddle-boarded, channeled their artistic inspirations, and affirmed their love for speed and late nights.

The quality time together was immeasurable. ❤️

Thank you mountains, you filled my tank.

Grateful to be surrounded by this generous community committed to ending Alzheimer’s.

Thank you for opening up your beautiful home, Princess Yasmin Aga Khan for all that you do, and your team for organizing, and for thinking of me 💜

Looking forward to the Imagine Benefit co-chaired by .boitano and
