Favorite restaurants: I love to cook and prefer to dine at home, but if I was going to spend big money on good food, I would go to Henrietta's Table in Cambridge --great food, with a local menu based largely on New England grown/raised food.

Fun fact about yourself: I love to be outside, and try to walk as much as I can when doing errands around North Reading.

Why North Reading?: My dad was a selectman for about 10 years and my grandmother (also a dietitian) started the first school lunch program in North Reading.
