This past weekend, I attended a conference for food bloggers in San Francisco, capital of good food (if not the capital, then one of the original 13 colonies). Even though blogging is a great activity and I have connected with loads of interesting folks, meeting people face-to-face is still very important. I went this weekend [...]
The folks at Nature’s Path contacted me about a contest they are hosting with Everyday with Rachael Ray called “My Path to Sustainable Living.” They are searching for people who understand the importance of giving back, sustainability and the value of good nutrition and its connection to the earth. And on their website, they want [...]
Last night, I decided to take the two Delicata Squashes from our CSA box from a couple weeks ago and cook them up. But, my kids have never had stuffed squash before, so I wanted to make a particularly kid-friendly version. But, my husband is not wild about raisins and baked apples, so I needed [...]
My grandparent’s farm was in Southern California, east of San Diego. The side of their property, or maybe it was the next farm over, was filled with avocado trees, a giant orchard.

As it turns out this week, our box of vegetables from Two Small Farms contained loads of interesting things, that combined with what I had left from last week, made a great curry. I pulled it together early Sunday afternoon, before we embarked on our afternoon excursion, and by the time we got home, it [...]
You might be thinking to yourself that I am off my rocker. Can pizza really be made on the grill? I am pleased to announce that yes, it can! Last Friday, I felt like pizza for dinner, but wanted to make my own. Using Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes, I whipped up the easy Olive [...]
Long ago, when my daughter was born, a family from our play group brought over dinner. I remember the discussion with Becky – she wanted to know if we liked New Mexican chili sauce. She was planning to make chicken enchiladas for us, and little did she know it was a favorite of my husband. [...]
chocolate-oatmeal-drops Thank goodness for schools that need cookie incentives. I love to bake, but certainly don’t need to consume all those cookies myself. Tomorrow, my son’s school needs 2 dozen cookies for some project, and I was only too happy to oblige. It has been nearly 3 months since I posted my last cookie recipe, [...]
Growing up, I remember cooking often with my Mom, but for some reason, this specific recipe really sticks in my mind. I was in elementary school, and a Girl Scout, and we had to do our cooking badge. I am not sure if my Mom took the afternoon off from work, or if we did [...]
Wanted to be a little lower for a different angle, but loads of construction going on. (Taken with instagram)
