Instead of talking about what I am cooking, I'd like to share some of what I have learned about pots and pans. I think that, by now, most of you are aware of the dangers of cooking on non-stick surfaces. When exposed to higher temperatures, non-stick pans can leach fumes into the air (and leach … Continue reading Healthy Cooking – Stoneware…

Playing Catch Up, Again…
Resting myself well turned out to be quite the process. It involved quite a few attempts at naps, during the construction zone days, as well as juicing veggies, gargling my apple cider vinegar (and drinking some of it too), as well as a bit of over-the-counter medicine at bed time. What can I say? If … Continue reading Playing Catch Up, Again…
Impending upheaval…
My kitchen has needed some cosmetic assistance for quite a while. The cabinets are tired, I have no pantry. I have a really unattractive overhead fluorescent light. Beginning tomorrow, the kitchen will be undergoing a small facelift. The overhead will be replaced with can lights, and the cabinets are being refaced. I am hoping to … Continue reading Impending upheaval…
Rituals and Routines…
I am a creature of habit. I love greeting the sunrise with my coffee outdoors: just the quiet, the green, and my dogs. It's my morning ritual, and I treasure it. In the evening, after the little ones have gone to bed, I have my quiet time in the kitchen. I grant you, that quiet … Continue reading Rituals and Routines…

So, Lara and I put our heads together as to what sounded good. I stared at recipes for a while, … Continue reading The Gourmet Day…
Everything’s Gone Green…
No, not the New Order song. This house. Our lives...They have gone green. During this crazy journey, I was slowly trying to transition all of us to a perfectly organic lifestyle. I know organic does not overcome BRCA1. I know it doesn't solve the genetic health history of this family - but it increases our … Continue reading Everything’s Gone Green…
Bee Pollen…
A fellow blogger, healthyfrenchie (healthyfrenchie.wordpress.com) has issued an "Adventurous April" challenge, in which we should all try one new thing per week in the month of April. For the first week, I have chosen bee pollen as my new thing to try. At this very moment, I am sitting here testing my tolerance to it … Continue reading Bee Pollen…
Cleansed…
I am moaning and complaining about my EXTREMELY sore muscles today. Honestly, "Salute the Sun" and "Downward Dog" have torture capabilities I have never imagined! This morning, I finally made it to our local organic farmer's market. 🙂 This is what I did for my childrens' play date with their friends: dragged them all out … Continue reading Cleansed…
