My earliest memories revolve around two things: helping my aunt in the kitchen on Sundays and pretending to be a writer. Once I was old enough to write sentences, I began writing nearly everyday. After high school, I went to school in New York because New York is a city of writers and stories . . . and I knew that would be the perfect place for me.

These days I can be found writing about food at my food blog, Sarah’s Cucina Bella Sarah’s Cucina Bella, pregnancy and parenting at SheKnows and mom-related topics and reviews at The Voice of Mom.

Here at the new official Mott’s blog, More To The Core, I will be focusing on healthy cooking and eating for the whole family. With two young kids who are voracious eaters, I understand how challenging it can be to make sure that kids eat right everyday but Mott’s Healthy Harvest Apple Sauces (with no artificial sweeteners! YAY!) have been a godsend. The single serve portions are perfect for an afternoon snack. And my kids have grown up drinking Mott’s Natural Apple Juice, which has no added sugar — something I always look for in kid-friendly drinks.

With the right recipes, a few healthy snacks and drinks and getting kids involved in the process, eating well can be a fantastic family affair.

Introducing More to the Core, a community for parents and families to find fun, up-to-date news and information centered around food, nutrition, parenting and healthy lifestyles.

From our family to yours, enjoy!
