Eating and living locally . . . mindfully . . . simply.
You know, it was SO tempting to not just use some of the leftover barbecue sauce from last weekend’s brew and BBQ. But I wanted to be true to the recipe from Simply in Season. So I made the chicken, and with the remains of the homemade BBQ still in the skillet I added 1/2 [...]
Part of the purpose of this blog is to explore issues surrounding how what we eat affects those around the world. I received this story recently from a friend in Cambodia. It’s amazing to me how much we can learn from people we think we are serving! From Esther Matharu, CRWRC-Cambodia: Health is a big [...]
Happy Friday everyone! First, a little shameless self-promotion. I’m down 7.5 pounds in 2 1/2 weeks! I’m shocked, as I have never been able to lose weight while working out at the same time. A lot of it has to do with FJ’s advice and encouragement, but a lot of it also has to do [...]
The January 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Lauren of Celiac Teen. Lauren chose Gluten-Free Graham Wafers and Nanaimo Bars as the challenge for the month.

This is an interesting salad recipe from Simply in Season. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, as I have never had a sweet potato salad before.
This week’s pep talk from Fit Jerk: Last week I talked about how you should grab someone you REALLY trust, and use the “money technique” to embed a habit directly into your soul. In other words, something that cannot be easily broken. But over time, even if you do manage to conjure up a habit of getting [...]
I can’t believe I signed up for this canning challenge. I took one class last summer at my CSA and while it seemed easy enough while I was there, it’s a whole other can of worms (no pun intended) doing it on my own. This month we were supposed to feature something citrus. So yeah, [...]
