It’s Not Just About the Cooking…

August 31, 2010

Day in and day out, we desire to instill character in our children. Day in and day out, it’s a challenge that is worth it.
I reflected on my time  in the kitchen this past week, and realized that the hidden life lessons found together cooking are often those that just happen – [...]

What Do You Do With All Your Fruit?

August 24, 2010

It’s the most wonderful time of the year…well, maybe not.
With our unseasonably high humidity and temps in the 90’s, the thought of needing a sweatshirt with a pair of shorts during some crisp autumn air days, nearly makes me giddy. The dog days of summer have come to a close, but the heat hasn’t. So [...]

What Would You Pick to Stockpile?

August 10, 2010

As I wrote my Stockpiling Groceries 101 post yesterday, I shared how there are numerous items that I stock up on throughout the year.

What is the Weirdest Food You’ve Ever Eaten?

By the time I got married, I had traveled to over twenty five different countries; half of those trips being third world type of experiences.

Juicing for the Average Person

July 27, 2010

My knowledge of all things healthy eating are vast. My execution of preparing and eating all those things healthy is often limited.
Our family joke to this day is that we grew up eating “sticks, twigs and roots.” If it surrounded whole and raw foods, my mom was on top of it, and that included drinking [...]

How is Your Garden Growing?

July 20, 2010

One of my goals this year is to be a bit more self sustaining. I love the concept of it, but somehow the reality of it isn’t syncing up with my dream of “Little House on the Prairie” living.
For instance, my garden is looking  pathetic, unlovely and neglected. My zucchini, squash and cucumbers are all [...]

June 22, 2010

A few weeks ago I shared about our special family tradition of serving breakfast in bed.
I encouraged you to take the time to be intentional with your family by sharing creative ways of saying, “I Love You” …just because.

June 7, 2010

Oh yes, the title got you, didn’t it?
I know there is no such thing as instant organization, but some things come pretty close.  I love coming across things that I can implement immediately, since I tend to be a huge procrastinator in the organizational department.
For years, I have been emailing myself a myriad of things.  [...]

Breakfast in bed for birthdays are an annual tradition.
The “You Are Special” plate or any number of our personalized plates are dusted off. Candles are lit and typically waffles topped with ice cream, whipped cream and lots of other goodies adorn them. Since I love painted trays, my biggest dilemma with breakfast in bed is [...]
