We got 3 ears of fresh sweet corn on the cob in the CSA share this week. My DH was going out for the evening, and I was hungry. I couldn’t waste time cooking the corn, so I ate all three raw, as a late afternoon snack. Oh it was fabulous. Brought me back to [...]

Meatless Monday – Quinoa Pasta with Tomato Puttanesca Sauce
We went meatless tonight (with a little bit of dairy) by eating a satisfying plate of quinoa pasta topped with tomato puttanesca sauce. I included some lovely kousa squash in the sauce, which was part of our CSA vegetable share this week. It’s a summer squash similar to zucchini.
Homemade Microwave Popcorn
My microwave usage has gone way down since I started eating cleaner. I am not necessarily afraid of the “microwaves” emoting from the microwave, but I don’t think it cooks food quite the same as on the stove or in the oven. I think it kills a lot of healthy nutrients. But I was intrigued [...]

One naive woman even compared them to cocoa puffs, thinking they were healthier. Are people really that stupid, or is it just [...]
