Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
This is a quick dinner to put together, start the sauce first because the 'pasta' takes five minutes! In the summer months I don't cook the sauce, I coarsely chop the tomatoes, onions and garlic and pour it over the pasta. 2 zucchinis, peeled and shaved into thin slices like fettucine, drained well 1 T...

“Mom, you’ve been holding out on me! I had a double Whopper with cheese and it was awesome!” said my 16 year old son yesterday. It was a sad day of mourning; I can no longer protect him from the evils of fast food. I’m only kidding, my children have certainly had food from the... Continue Reading →
Do you remember the first time you experienced real hunger? I grew up in a home that had plenty of food and access to it was a priority. I remember on family trips, my Mom would pack sandwiches and snacks, and we would pull over at a rest stop to eat at a picnic table... Continue Reading →
This year I have been growing tomatoes from seed. What this means is that I am experimenting with going from placing a tiny seed in the dirt all the way to pulling a red, ripe tomato off the vine at just the right time. Simple enough, right? At least, that’s what I thought. Turns out... Continue Reading →
It’s the first day of school here in the Midwest, and we are all moving a little slower than we should be. Those first few days are always the hardest. This time of year our son has to be at school 90 minutes early for Band practice, so we are really feeling it. In the... Continue Reading →
My guy and I have been doing really well with our healthy lifestyle, we are eating organic and fresh with very little sugar and preservatives, and have learned quickly how to make better choices. We both feel better after only a month, and agree that this is not a fad, but a new way of... Continue Reading →
My guy and I have started on a new journey to good health. He got some bad news back from his blood work last month, and we are trying to avoid medication. We will be meeting with his doctor later this week, but on our own have been doing a lot of research, experimenting and... Continue Reading →
About a month ago my guy and I watched a documentary called Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. I had heard about it from a friend, and thought it might be good for us to learn more about the relationship between food and health. It was a very interesting film that convicted us to start to...

One of my favorite things about this time of year is the abundance of tomatoes, which means it is time to make the sauce! I get to pull out my Mamaw’s food processor from 1974 (seriously) and pulverize hundreds of tomatoes with onions, garlic, balsamic vinegar and fresh herbs. It cooks down for a couple...

About six years ago I committed to cooking breakfast for the family for one school year. I had been looking ahead to fall and spring sports and realized it would be difficult to get everyone around the dinner table each night (we’ve all read the research on how important this is, right?), so I thought...
