Lest you think that salad is only a side dish or starter, Patricia Wells sets the record straight in Salad as a Meal: Healthy Main-Dish Salads for Every Season.

First, let me say that although this book is written for singles, it is FULL of information that is relevant for anyone who cooks, whether that’s for yourself or your family. I wish I had this book when I first started to learn how to cook.

Last week on the drive from Idaho to Michigan (helping my sister move), I reviewed several books on my Nook. One of them was Heartland: The Cookbook by Judith Fertig. Driving on I-80 through America’s heartland was the perfect setting for reading about the Midwest’s cooking traditions and updated recipes.

For some reason, because DH and I don’t have kids, people think we have all this free time. While it’s true that our free time is truly our own, we both work 40+ hour workweeks.

When I was a little girl, I wanted to be a veterinarian; or a writer. I grew up to be neither, although I do love to write (and pursue it as a hobby) and I have two dogs and two cats. My husband and I agree that we probably spoil our “babies” way too much. Perhaps it’s because we’re childfree.

A lot of people think I’m Mennonite, perhaps because I have had a study series on Simply in Season and Living More with Less on my blog (both published by the Mennonite Central Committee). While I love the Mennonites, I have to confess that I’m Christian Reformed (a branch of Presbyterianism). So I was glad [...]

Sometimes, a book comes along that makes so much sense, you can’t help but mark pages and underline quotes throughout. Ravenous: A Food Lover’s Journey from Obsession to Freedom by Dayna Macy is just such a book.

Once in awhile I’m contacted by publishers to see if I’ll review their books on my blog. Since I LOVE to read, I usually oblige. So when Tim Young contacted me to review his book The Accidental Farmers: An Urban Couple, A Rural Calling, and A Cream of Farming in Harmony with Nature, I didn’t think anything of it. Little did I know how thought-provoking the experience would be.

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!
