Introduction

To my husband, Jim, my rock of twenty-four years—thank you for choosing me every day. Life has thrown a lot our way, but I can always count on your steady hand for comfort, whether you are at my bedside when I’m sick or right beside me in the kitchen testing new recipes. You have selflessly and flawlessly performed the roles of father, husband, and business partner, often without the recognition you deserve. This is but a small tribute to your contributions in helping Cali’flour Foods successfully create a new food category, keeping our home full of love and laughter, and being my biggest cheerleader.
