I love finding cookbooks that open up a whole new world of food, recipes, chefs and authors to me, and that is what the book The Essential New York Times Cookbook: Classic Recipes for a New Century did for me! Except for an occasional Mark Bittman’s “The Minimalist” column, I never bothered to read much [...]

The Genesis of Healing: Euell Gibbons & Wild Food Foraging
I recently watched an episode of “the Genesis of Healing” on the Veria channel. This particular episode featured information about the life of Euell Gibbons, as well as experts discussing foraging for wild edible foods. The episode subject was very timely, since I have recently become very interested in foraging. I’m excited to pick a [...]
Meatless Monday: Cabbage Mango Salad with Caramelized Onion Crostini
I sometimes find Meatless Monday dinners are more delicious than meals with meat! Tonight, was one of those nights. I made a big batch of cabbage mango salad with roasted pumpkin seeds along with scrumptious yummy caramelized onion crostini. I love cabbage! In the cooler months, I always try to keep it in the fridge [...]
Bob Harper Biggest Loser TV Commercial for Quaker Oatmeal Squares Cereal
What’s up with Bob Harper endorsing processed cereal? He’s in a new TV ad for Quaker Oatmeal Squares, trying to convince America how wonderful this processed cereal is. I understand that a person needs to make a living, but it’s very disappointing that he would choose such a poor food product to promote. Shame on [...]
Vivani Organic 70% Dark Chocolate with Lemon
A few days ago, I bought a couple of bars of Vivani Organic 70% Dark Chocolate with Lemon. We had tried them months ago, and I remembered that I enjoyed eating the chocolate. Well, I guess our tastes have evolved, because now I am finding the taste to be waxy and sort of void of [...]
141 – Up a Little Bit, but Not For Long
I’ve been extra hungry lately…eating extra calories. I’m not making bad food choices, but still going over my total calories. Sometimes you just need an extra “kick in the pants” to set you straight. I weighed in this morning, and was a touch over 141 pounds. I don’t think the weight I’ve gained is anything [...]
Whole Foods Customer Connection Group
I had a great time at my local Whole Foods for their “Customer Connection Group”. Discussing why I love Whole Foods, and what I don’t like, etc. It was really fun! And the $25 gift card was a bonus! We also received a bag full of 365 products. I can talk about food and grocery [...]
Mark Bittman’s Rehashed The Minimalist on Cooking Channel
I was soo excited to begin watching the new Mark Bittman new cooking show, The Minimalist on the Cooking Channel. I dvr’d it this AM and just sat down to watch it. It begins with “Here we are again, spring time means softshell crabs” – he then refers the viewer to watch last seasons’ video [...]
Size 10 Jeans!
We went up to LL Bean Outlet this afternoon to check out jeans. I had a gift card credit. They had a ton of clothes on sale @ 50% off! There was a small section of jeans, and I immediately picked out a couple of size 12 tall (and med tall). I had figured out [...]
