Every MLK weekend for the last two years, Jared and I have joined a group of 30 friends on an epic ski trip weekend.

This is a really bittersweet blog post for me because I’m leaving America’s Test Kitchen and moving on. It really was a dream job, where I got to write, talk and think about food all day long. I got to create an entire department and work with incredible colleagues. I met and made friends with inspiring food bloggers all across North America.
