Though beautiful, my summer has been oh so busy and hectic. Hence this short post with all the essentials. I made the Mariposa Dress from Handmade Beginnings last summer. It was too short and it hun...
This summer (as in summers past), Im eating more vegan meals. My pursuit of vegan inspiration has led me to some vegan recipes worth passing along... This buckwheat porridge is amazingly good! Yeah,...
Oh, thank goodness we are not suffering from the heat wave that hovered around part of the country recently. (Knock on wood). I swear on scouts honor that I reveled in each and every day that we enj...
Another yummy smoothie were enjoying this summer: Canteloupe Creamsicle Smoothie. Its so simple, it doesnt need a recipe. But here it is, nonetheless. Canteloupe Creamsicle Smoothie 1/2- 3/4 whole C...
My favorite aspect of summer is my garden. I start each morning out there, with a cup of coffee, the slanted morning sun, the promise of a new day, and the joy of discovering new growth and sometime...
We bought a watermelon the size of a small country. And not only was it seeded, but it seemed that this watermelon grew more than its fair share. The kids all discussed what to do with the seeds. Do...
My Mom has knack for throwing a bunch of ingredients together and making something perfect. As Im a meticulous baker at heart (weighing ingredients out--- leery of diverging from the original recip...
Sometimes it is difficult for me to take the time to stop the ever forward movement of our lives long enough to celebrate the milestone that click by along the way. My life is often a hectic flurry o...
Remind me to never start another project in cotton. Silly me, I decided to make this baby sweater in Lion Brand Cotton-Ease. It seemed sensible at the time: washable cotton for a baby. Well, thats on...
Ah, so much to share. I have many photos sitting on my computer without the words (yet) to bring them to life here. I just havent the time. I might share some of these activities without words. Just...
Wow, this cornbread tastes so much like a childhood favorite of mine: that B&W bread in a can. I remember those days of slathering the dark rounds of sweet bread with cream cheese... mmm. I don&...
Who knew a raw dessert could be so good?! Well, I didn't. And it's easy, too. But the best part (for me) is that I get to play with an adult version of play-doh. I'm still playing ar...
I've been reading up on increasing the amount of raw and living foods I eat. Once again, I'm drawn to both the health aspects and the creativity of this style of preparation. When I firs...
This post's title comes directly from P's mouth upon seeing Kefir Grains. They're often described as looking like "cauliflower" but they do sort of look like brains. Have I...
Maybe it was the crowd my family hung with, but carob made many apprearances in my life as a youngster growing up in the newly health conscious 70's. Along with thick, mystery-ingredient smooth...
Can you believe those ingredients above could result in something truly yummy. So yummy that you'll be compelled to make it over and over again. And wake up wanting some atop anything that wil...
Just when when we thought spring was upon us (silly us, what with the 60-degree sunny weather and all--- what were we thinking?!), we're experiencing a return of winter. In a big way. Currently,...
I make savory green smoothies on a regular basis around here, especially in the winter when I'm craving fresh vegetables. I like V-8 juice and this is my healthier twist on it. I believe fresh ...
I received the cookbook, Good to the Grain, awhile back, but only recently did I delve into its scrumptious offerings. At first glance, I was a little intimidated by the variety of grains it calls f...
I read the blog, HEAB, and I've used many of her healthy recipes and ideas. Just yesterday, she shared a couple recipes from other blogs that made my day! One of the recipes was from the blog, C...
My kids love treats. When the clock chimes 7 PM, I'm asked, "Can we have a dessert?" Where they got the impression that one eats dessert every single night, is beyond me. Is it in th...
I am fortunate in the neighbor department. I've had so many kind neighbors. Sure, I've had some doozies, too---- like the crazy guy who ran up and down the street threatening people with a ...
Our holidays were good. Yours? We laughed with family. We tore open presents with the refinement of those older ages of childhood. We felt grateful. We spent another year together. Looking forward ...
Decidedly, I want to proclaim every season my favorite for cooking and food. Those spring greens. The summer's bounty from the garden. Fall squash and Thanksgiving. And when I think of Christmas...
This post's title is inspired by a yarn shop here in Oregon called, 'Knot Another Hat.' That name makes me smile. Well, it makes me smile because my family members probably say that ve...
I knew I had to make a Tova Top when I first spotted the pattern on Jenny Gordy's blog. It was a preorder pattern then and it wasn't shipped out until the end of October. Overall, I enjoy J...
Once again, my Mom and I traveled east to pick apples recently. It seems to be a fall tradition for the two of us. And once again, it was a glorious day. That golden fall light on the eastern valle...
This recent article outlined one method of reducing your yearly grocery bill: reduce your meat consumption. Though I've known this for quite sometime, it's a good reminder. A few of my fa...
