Eating and living locally . . . mindfully . . . simply.
This is the latest installment of DH’s quest for the perfect burger cook-off competition recipe. It’s from the book Char-Broil’s Everybody Grills! I’ve enjoyed having some time off from the kitchen, and surprisingly I’m not sick of burgers yet! Probably because these are all so different.
The recipe for whipped squash from Simply in Season calls for 4 C cooked butternut squash, 2 T butter, 1 T brown sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon. Beat until smooth. But how does one cook squash in the first place?
We’re friends, right? So I feel I can tell you about my cookbook organization system or lack thereof. I have talked before about my cookbook addiction. The photo above is the top two shelves of my bookshelf, which is what I told myself I’d limit myself to. When I keep getting review copies, it’s not easy!
Yes, DH is still trying to find the perfect burger recipe. Next up is the Swiss Mushroom Burger from a recipe that he got from the Sizzle on the Grill users forums.
Image from Truvia.com Yesterday I handed out oranges as a volunteer at the Grand Rapids marathon. I realized how much weight I’ve lost and gained; and how I miss running and feeling healthy. I talk about it from time to time on this blog, but it’s time to DO something. So I’m taking the Truvia Challenge.
Tropical Traditions is the first company to make a truly organic product from the water of organic coconuts which is raw and fermented with fair-trade organic Muscabado whole cane sugar. This is one of the most nutrient-packed and healthiest vinegars you will find anywhere in the world!
In honor of world food day, I’m going to share a letter from Davis Omanyo, one of my coworkers. He lives in Uganda and oversees all of CRWRC’s work in East Africa. Sometimes it seems like the media always shares depressing stories when reporting about hunger; I wanted to share some positive things that are happening.
This was one of those recipes from Simply in Season that did not provide very good instructions. It said to simmer the fish in the sauce, but it didn’t tell you to add water. So DH looked up how to poach fish on the internet and figured it out.
As you know, part of the mission of my blog is to eat simply . . . locally . . . and mindfully. I’ve been thinking a lot about the mindfully part, so I jumped on the chance to participate in a virtual book tour with Dr. Ronald Alexander.
This is test burger #2 for DH’s burger competition practice. We decided to enlist some additional testers and DH made them for our friends who were camping.
