Dana Davenport — lawyer, mom, philanthropist, social butterfly, television host. We met with her in her home office.

Who hasn’t perused Giada cookbooks or clipped out magazine recipes while envisioning the wonderful flavors?? We try our best to work out and make careful food choices. But then kids, work, daily schedules, and other of life’s speed bumps pop up in front of the best intentions. Most of the time, dinner is far less glamorous than the gourmet meal imagined.
Every January since my mid-twenties, I have made a list of goals for myself for the year: one goal is personal, one is professional, and one is for my fitness. I write them down on a post-it note and stick it to my computer monitor to keep them literally front and center. January has always been about goals in my mind, as such, this issue is dedicated to goals.
