Actually I’m not sure if these salads are gourmet or just ones for which restaurants can charge lots of money! A new book came to my attention not long ago. If you want credit for pointing it out to me be sure to speak up, as I cannot remember who promoted it! Anyway the book… Continue reading Gourmet Salads
I have always enjoyed poached eggs. My grandmother used to make them for me when I stayed overnight. Poached eggs with plenty of butter and buttered toast on the side for dipping into the egg yolk. Yum! I still love them that way. What I don’t love is the cheap aluminum or nonstick pans for… Continue reading Poached Eggs
If you love avocados this recipe is for you! Because if you love avocados you need many ways to eat them! I’ve had this recipe for several years but I don’t make it often. Why? I’m not sure why. I usually bring it out for a special occasion when needing an appetizer. (That occasion arose… Continue reading Mexican Corn Salsa
It has been a few weeks since my last post. We recently got my son off to begin hiking the Appalachian Trail and a dear friend has had a setback in her health challenges. The last couple of weeks have been challenging to say the least. That being said when stresses do occur, even if… Continue reading Carrot Salad

I included a quick snack/dessert type idea that is one of my favorite ways to include coconut oil in my diet. Recently a friend mentioned that it was difficult to find… Continue reading Coconut Cocoa Treat
Does it really make a difference? Other than keeping our tummies full and providing energy? Sometimes I think about this when I tire of grocery shopping, planning and preparing meals, cleaning up, etc. Wouldn’t it just be easier to eat out or not bother with making sure I’m using whole foods, just fixing the yummiest thing… Continue reading Does It Really Matter What We Eat?
So yes, I consider fennel to be a new friend. And I made a new friend at Sprouts while looking at fennel. Recently a former colleague of mine received some fennel from her Bountiful Basket veggie coop. Since her family has no desire to be friends with fennel she offered it to me. My only knowledge… Continue reading Fennel and New Friends
The weather is cooperating so nicely for these soup posts! After having so many days in the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s, winter has made a return in the last part of February. As I’ve said before – about the only good thing winter has to offer is delicious food – soup, in particular. I noticed… Continue reading Soup de Jour Day 3
