♥Hi Friends!
Some of the tastiest and most nutritious meals can come from last minute inspiration from the items in your fridge. As you learn to eat HEALTHIER plant-based meals, simplicity is key. And in fact, simplicity is exactly what your body wants sometimes. Continue reading “What’s for dinner?…’CABBAGE FRY’!”

I haven’t been as present on my blog the last couple of months, really the last 6-8 months. I’ve been doing a lot of HEALING. Like the last 10% from a lifetime of SPIRITUAL, PHYSICAL and EMOTIONAL dis-ease. And sometimes crossing the finish line can make you sprint harder and leave you more out of breath than the previous 90% of the race did.

Even though we started decorating for Christmas a couple of weeks ago (the teenagers were so excited and couldn’t wait), it’s still November until midnight tonight so I’m sending out my last “fallish” post while I can.

Grandma and Grandpa Peterson have hands down the best garden ever!!! I’m not sure if that’s because they are very particular about the quality and taste of what they grow and they’ve been doing it since the dawn of time. Or because one of the biggest reasons they grow their garden each year, spending hours tending it, weeding it, watering it, and harvesting it, as well as canning much of it, is to share it with their family and neighbors.

With Fall comes the last of the garden harvest. (As a side note, do you need a good idea for the end of season tomatoes? Grandma Peterson, my wonderful mother-in-law, is bringing me up the last of her “not-so-great-and-have-been-slightly-frozen-a-couple-of-times” tomatoes from her garden which I will promptly roast and make in to several batches of my ‘ROASTED TOMATO BASIL SOUP’ and frozen for a later date.)

My oldest Emily is right in the throws of those baby/toddler years. My grandbabies are at the current moment 4, 2 and 6 months. This brief period (although it feels like it will never end) is full of cute little hands and not so cute greasy, sticky messes. Especially on the clothes.

Just a little update on my lilacs from one of my previous posts. I have three of these little bundles on my small but growing bush. I didn’t get a pic when they were at their finest but this is what they looked like today! And just in time for ‘Earth Day’!

♥Hi Friends!
First off, I started an Instagram account. Actually, I really started it almost a year ago but haven’t done anything with it until this week. I wasn’t really sure what to do with it acutally. (I’m in that generation where some of us know technology and are comfortable with it, and some of us don’t know technology and aren’t comfortable with it.) Well, Continue reading “Some Thoughts on Meat, Dairy and Plant-based Eating…& a recipe for ‘Veggie Kielbasa Stir Fry’.”

Did you know that the decisions you make every day in the things you put in your mouth and on your body, clean your home with, and spray in your yard, can feed or starve cancer? And really, feed or starve all disease. And that goes for all the other PHYSICAL, SPIRITUAL and EMOTIONAL things we bring in to our lives, or experience through or from others and our environments. Disease can literally be turned on and turned off! Continue reading “Don’t Feed Cancer!…& a recipe for ‘Tomato Basil Crockpot Pasta Sauce’ & ‘Kidney Beans & Pasta’.”
