Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
My friend Ann had a huge kale salad sitting in her fridge and my daughter couldn't stop raving about it, so I asked for the recipe. I now make this all of the time because it is healthy and so easy to make, and gets better with time. Seriously, try not to love it! Massaged... Continue Reading →
This is my guy's all-time favorite cake, and his birthday was yesterday, so we had cake! It is from the 'ol red and white checkered Better Homes & Gardens cookbook I used to learn to cook in our first years of marriage. Carrot Cake 2 c flour 2 c sugar 1 t baking powder 1... Continue Reading →
We have so much swiss chard in the garden these days! I planted five plants and expected it to act like lettuce did last year, one big return and that was it, but this stuff is hearty and keeps replenishing every couple of days. I found a cookbook called Jerusalem last week that has beautiful... Continue Reading →
We were looking for a light dinner last night and as I was thinking at our garden's bounty I remembered this one, perfect for the end of the summer! This is a quick one to put together, start the sauce first because the 'pasta' takes five minutes! In the summer months I don't really even... Continue Reading →
There was a time when describing someone as 'crunchy' was not a positive thing, in my mind. Our daughter loves being considered crunchy, and some of her ideas have rubbed off on me. We have been using Almond Milk in our smoothies daily for more than two years now, finding the brand that we prefer,... Continue Reading →

Her husband is gluten-free, so most of the recipes are, too, as is this risotto recipe. The most difficult thing about this is the need for... Continue Reading →
It was summer of 1990 and my parents and I went out to TGIFriday's for dessert. This was kind of a big deal in my world, as a family we didn't go out much, and we certainly didn't have dessert! I chose the Mocha Mud Pie and was in love, so much so that I... Continue Reading →
My friend Kristy gave me a book that I am loving, it's called People's Pops, and it's written by three guys who started a Popsicle Shop in New York. They share some of their best selling popsicles, and I pan to make them all over the next month or so!I really like having something sweet... Continue Reading →
I follow a food blog called Kevin and Amanda's Recipes and they have some unusual twists on good food. I made this recipe for a small group, doubled it for about 20 people, not one burger was left at the end of the night, and several people asked me for the recipe. Party Cheeseburgers 1...

My friend Tamera recently posted a recipe for homemade Dark Chocolate and Sea Salt Kind Bars, my favorite, so I had to try them. Hers looked exactly like what you find in the packaging, mine did not. I didn't spread the mixture out quickly enough, so they became little clusters instead of bars, and I... Continue Reading →
