Hello & WELCOMe

I’m Risa and I’m so happy you are here! Risa’s Table started as a way for me to document my life of great food, recipes, living as an empty nester and to introduce you to people I meet along my journey .

A little about me:

• Yes, Risa is my real name. It’s pronounced like Lisa, but with an ‘R’

• Professionally, I'm an experienced adult educator and training professional with a sincere passion for lifelong learning, graphic design, organizing and photography. 

• I’m a twin and mom to three young adults.

• Being a mother to adult children is sometimes difficult for me.

• I love good food, paired with the perfect glass of great wine -- you can NEVER go wrong with great wine.

• I've also picked up the hobbies of knitting and gardening in my spare time and I’m starting a really great vinyl collection; vinyl is still the only way to really enjoy good music.
