In a perfect world everything would go according to plan. In the real world we need Plan B. Sometimes Plans C & D, too. This past weekend I had the menu planned out for each meal except for 2 meals I knew we’d be going out for, 1 of which was to get together with [...]

Have you ever decided you wanted to make something after seeing a recipe online? Then when it came time to make it, you couldn’t find it? Picture me perplexed Saturday afternoon trying to make lunch without being able to find the recipe I thought I found Thursday. Notice I say “thought.” I very well could [...]

I always seems to find something interesting at my husband’s favorite Kroger in Cincinnati. The first time there, I found some favorites difficult to find in this area – bitter melon and lychee. Last weekend, I found guava and quince. I nearly hugged the guava like I did when I found the bitter melon. It [...]
Being An Adventurous Foodie

I have explored foods outside my comfort zone since changing to a whole foods diet last December. This includes trying foods again I previously didn’t like. I now like mushrooms, beets, and fresh peas. Going gluten-free limits previously adored options and restaurants. It also opens up the doors for more adventures. Danna Korn encourages the [...]

I like to experiment now and then. Those of you who do the same know that sometimes you hit a jackpot and sometimes you hit the step on the garbage can to open the lid. The one nice thing about my husband working in Cincinnati during the week is I can experiment and if I [...]

I like quick and easy recipes. Not because I’m lazy, but because I don’t want to be in the kitchen all the time. A complicated recipe or two a week is fine, but not daily. I tend to plan my menus on Thursdays for Friday through the following Thursday because my CSA pick up [...]
Never Stop Learning

This theme just keeps coming up for me. First, I mentioned in Emptying My Cup, that I realized the more I thought I knew, the more I didn’t really know. I needed to keep emptying my cup to keep learning. Then, last week my doctor tells me when I move and look for a new [...]

Last week I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do different for breakfast. I have a lot of eggs courtesy of our CSA, so it had to be something with eggs. Monday night, I was reading Living Gluten-Free for Dummies by Danna Korn and hit the recipe sections that started with…breakfast! She [...]

It was perfect, really. Sunday I was at a rest area somewhere in the middle of Illinois with my husband, two of my aunties, and my cousin. We were looking at the map and where our destination was in relation to where we were. There it was on the map, BIG and bold – Normal. [...]
