Eating and living locally . . . mindfully . . . simply.
I was so excited when my friend Katie, who blogs at Kitchen Stewardship, told me she was writing a book about beans. When I finally got a copy to review, I wasn’t disappointed! Best of all, she’s letting me give away two copies of this ebook to my readers!
As I think I mentioned, I’m seeing a holistic health practitioner who had me on a “detox” for two weeks in which I was supposed to avoid caffeine, alcohol, and sugar as much as possible and limit grains to one serving per day. How did it go?
One of the questions I was asked recently is whether vinegars are interchangeable–for example, if you don’t have the specific kind called for in a recipe. My answer was “it depends on the recipe.”
I’ve been enjoying reading Katie from Kitchen Stewardship’s Everything Beans Book. When I saw this recipe for beef and bean stew, I knew that would be a perfect weekend recipe.
While reading Kitchen Stewardship’s Everything Beans Book, I saw instructions for cooking beans in a pressure cooker–without soaking first! I decided to give it a try.
Another $100 for lumber later, we now have 4 more beds. The photo above is of last year’s, which I cleaned up on Saturday and planted with peas, carrots, lettuce, kale, and the Asian stir fry mix. Those little seeds are buggers! Hoping I can thin them out later.
I love it when a recipe tastes so good you can’t believe it’s healthy!
Disclaimer: I just realized that most of my Fitness Friday posts aren’t super informational, just whatever is on my heart and mind that week. Hope you don’t mind too much. If you want true nutrition information, check out Kelly the Kitchen Kop, or some of the blogs at Fitblogger. If you just want to cheer or groan from the sidelines and watch my epic battle with 100 pounds play out in real life, keep reading.
When I read about Cooking in the Moment by Andrea Reusing, I knew I had to have it. So what does a blogger do? Contact the publisher for a review & giveaway copy!
You might be wondering what I did with the no-poach poached chicken yesterday; wonder no more!
