http://www.flickr.com/photos/designandtechnologydepartment/ / CC BY 2.0 I’m really enjoying the comments for the Food & Faith Challenge. It’s fascinating to see how everyone approaches the same topic from a slightly different angle, and how everyone is at a different place in their food journey. One of the struggles I’ve been having lately is recognizing that I [...]
Southwestern Potatoes

This is one of those recipes I looked at and said, “What is THAT doing in the main dish section?” But then, I’ve been surprised before at the recipes in Simply in Season; sometimes vegetables are much more hearty than I give them credit for. So I made it when DH was at running group [...]

OK not really, but my friend Amy Sherman is (the one who did the Valentine’s Dinner cooking class, and most of the cooking classes at the CSA last summer)! She’s the host, and we got to attend the taping at Saugatuck Brewing on Sunday. I’m not sure if DH and I were in any of [...]

Sometimes people wonder how I do it all. Do I spend every waking moment in the kitchen? Am I up all night writing my blog? I work full time at a demanding job that sometimes requires travel, and am also training for a sprint triathlon. First, let me say that I couldn’t do it without [...]

Food & Faith Challenge: Creation
April 10, 2010 By 25 Comments
Psalm 104 24-30 What a wildly wonderful world, God! You made it all, with Wisdom at your side, made earth overflow with your wonderful creations.
