One of the drawbacks of being a (vegetarian) nanny is that I often have to prepare meat for the kids I watch, and the main family I work for happens to consume a LOT of meat. I made pork chops for their dinner today, which was gross, but the veggies and potatoes I also made were so pretty on the...
8:30pm So, I've attempted to buy healthy food to give me energy and motivate me to get my ass into gear, but I can't afford to buy enough of it for that to really work. But, that's okay. I've found a really great store that I want to work at even more than the health food store (because it's bigger,...
OK, Maura. Here's a complete meal just for you that will accomplish what the NuWave Oven claims to do for you and probably tastes a whole lot better. You will be baking everything in the oven at the same time reducing the amount of energy required to cook the meal. This is a dinner that's nice...
Just because it's pretty...
At Kretschmann's
This week's organic veggies from the farm... Some variety of beautifully curly leaf lettuce, flat-leaf parsley this time, two bunches of dill, a huge head of garlic (which we need like a hole in the head - we have hundreds of plants), a nice bunch of big green onions, more zucchini (getting bigger -...
Here are my veggies of the week - I got so many good ideas from people last week, of what yummy things I could do with them, that I decided to post more often! This week: more... lettuce (though a different type), fennel, new potatoes, zucchini, cukes, green onions. New this week: baby carrots, a...
It's incredible to see how my little garden grows and changes overnight. Last night I was inspecting my geranium plant, wondering when it would finally bloom. My grandmother grows the most beautiful geraniums I have ever seen. They are always gorgeous and full in an array of colors - white, red,...
This week's organic bounty from the farm (Kretschmann's): more (much more) zucchini, lettuce, beets, Swiss chard, and parsley. New this week: fennel, a cucumber (no idea how they got one that big this early), zucchini blossoms, new potatoes, and an onion. And this is the "small" subscription. Also,...
Anyone have chili and beans with tofu? I had one today that just taste as good w/o meat. No cheese either. You can add soy cheese, thats cool. Also all those imitation turkey, meat and chicken, does anyone find them an issue? I really would like to know from the views of vegetarians and vegans and...
a This weekend I took a bike ride down to Wolf Pine Farm in Alfred, Maine. This has been "our" farm for six years, which is how long they've been a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) farm. The chickens (and the portable chicken coop) are new this year. After a hot 30-mile ride, it was nice to...
It was 109 F. today. I bet I could have fried eggs on the car hood...You know, if I ate eggs. Thankfully, Rain and I know how summer goes here (we do technically live in a desert). With these high temperatures in mind, by the middle of May we set up cooling proceedures as if we were on Red Alert....
