Quote 1: “I said I’m ready to talk about how many chicken bones you got, not how many bodies are in the fridge.” ~ Me to Gigi In the last few years, where we get our food from has changed almost as significantly as what we eat. In many cases, we know the farms that …
Daddy’s Girl
As I sit and type this Daniel is cuddling Katie while she falls asleep. It’s hard to describe how their relationship affects me. At first I mostly noticed how Daniel responded to Katie: his tenderness, compassion, playfulness and protectiveness. Now, what really gets me is her response to him. She trusts him in a way …
BPA Free Tomato Paste!!!

It went like this: “Mommy, where’s daddy?” “At work” “Where’s Daddy’s car?” “At work with Daddy” “Where’s Gigi?” “At work” “Where’s mommy?” Smiling: “I don’t know. Where is mommy?” “At work? NOOOO! Mommy doesn’t work!” Ahem. I was asked two other questions today that …
Food: My Journey
If only I had more time, I would share with you the odd stuff that goes on daily around here. Most of it starts (and ends) with me. And food. I don’t remember when I fell in love with food. In my early married wife I was strictly a utilitarian cook. Daniel has consumed more …
Adventures in noodle making
When I woke up this morning there was a perfectly good box of whole wheat fettuccine in my pantry. I looked at it . . and then decided to learn to make pasta from scratch!!! So typical of me, I know ; – ) Anyway, the best part of my passion for cooking is getting …
