I’ve probably mentioned this before, but it’s on my mind right now, so here we go again! Many years ago (9?), I saw a show on the Food Network in which they interviewed this woman who lived on a farm and she developed a recipe for granola (that she made for her husband and kids). …
I’m on a sesame bender. I have a strong affinity to Sesame Street stemming from my most enjoyable childhood mornings with my sister—and recently, Matthew and I have been watching the classic episodes on DVD. Yes, I do know the old episodes are not recommended for today’s child, but so far it doesn’t seem any …
Did you know that peanuts contain a cancer-causing toxin called aflatoxin? It’s a kind of mold, and it is found in all peanuts. It can be kind of upsetting to find out that things we’ve been doing for a long time (or things we grew up with) are not necessarily exactly what we thought they …
I made the Chick Pea Surprise again yesterday at Joey’s request. He’s in super running mode right now (always), so he likes plant-foods that are high in protein…I thought I could boost the protein even more in this without changing the taste, so I added Hemp Seeds too.

My new love = coconut I’ve tried buying whole coconuts and cracking them open…it’s messy. It’s hard work.

My Mom sent me this magnet for Valentine’s Day and said, “Just ‘felt’ like me ‘n you…” I’m so lucky!
I got a smoothie recipe from Sarma at www.oneluckyduck.com a couple days ago—and I really wanted to try it for Valentine’s Day. Why? It’s pink, plus I wanted Joe to try it and I figured he wouldn’t say no if I acted like it was made specially for him. And it was, kinda. Anyway, I …
I love growing things. Green plants in my house make me happy. I enjoy taking cuttings from houseplants that I have, rooting them and either relocating them around the house or giving them away to friends. (Eventually I will have many sets started so they’re on hand for easy housewarming or birthday gifts… just haven’t …
