Fostering a new renaissance through creativity, authenticity, spirituality, and art
I’m so proud of my husband who grew all the vegetables for this expensive fundraising dinner. His produce fed over 100 guests with over 200 pounds of vegetables under a flower filled tent last Saturday night.
Curious why a Christian Science practitioner takes care about what she eats? This is where I stand.
Overall, this project was a success on many levels. Firstly, I feel in control, instead of being at the mercy either of food itself, or of a wildly immoral food system.
You would avoid contaminants and corruption in other ways. Please don’t imbibe them in your body.
These photos are just two months in on my 6 month promise to myself, and I’m loving it. A lot of cooking has been going on!
This year I’ve picked a very tall, specific order for myself. Have you heard of the Whole30? I am resolved that I am going to do it for 180 days starting today.
Several of you asked for the Chicken Francese recipe my husband and our oldest daughter had for Thanksgiving, so I’ve gotten my husband to share it with you here
Roasting the bell peppers not only makes them more delicious, but also easier and smaller to store.
What great thing to do on Saturday morning! Plus, I really believe in eating as local and organic as possible.
Check out a small fraction of our garden produce this year in this post. We especially enjoyed those crisp, thick walled red bell peppers raw…
Try using roasted beets this season! What a welcome thing for us to have in abundance over here!
So during food preparation, think ahead to plating the food. Consider the contrast of not only tastes and textures, but color too. If something you are making is complicated, accompany it with something simple.
Now is a perfect time to eat the succulently delicious beet greens, which are such a treat. They my favorite cooked green– soft and sweet.
We put only tomatoes in this: no oil, no spices or salt, etc, so we can use it in the widest array of applications, seasoning it (or not) later. This stuff can really hold its own and carry the day.
We have a lovely peach crop this year with four trees laden with them. The oldest tree has so many that we’ve had to prop its branches up with 2 x 4’s to help the tree not break under the extra weight.
Here are lots of ideas of what to do with the fresh herbs that are growing so abundantly in your garden.
