In the last few weeks our garden has really taken off. Right now we have zucchini, tomatoes, basil, onions, garlic, carrots, green beans, and of course eggs (thanks to Cheeky and Sally).

I really did not have anything planned for the 4th of July, except making homemade quinoa mac-n-cheese for the kids. (Which they did not eat, but Mark and I ate). So I decide to go to the farmer’s market and see what I could find. There were soooo many choices it was hard to narrow things [...] First we got the chickens (CLICK HERE for Urban Chickens post), then we investigated GMO foods (CLICK HERE for Got GMO-free Milk post). Now we are making a run at Grass-Fed Beef, local style. After watching the “scare you away from McDonald’s” documentary called Food Inc. earlier this year, and reading Michael Pollan’s The Omnivores [...] This morning we went to the first ever Oak Park Farmer’s Market. For those of you who do not know where Oak Park is, it is the original suburb of Sacramento and was built around the turn of the century (1900s).

I think, I am going to write one blog a [...] I know many of you were interested in my first blog on plastics and toxins in our houses (CLICK HERE for my previous blog). In that blog I breifly discussed BPA in canned foods. Recently, I came across this new article on BPA free canned foods. I hope you find it as helpful as I did. [...]
Last night we met with our “large-small group” for a potluck at our church. As usual I was not sure if we were even going until that morning, so I was not really prepared to bring anything. When I got home from church, I found ground beef and beans. So I opened [...] We all know the old adage, “an apple a day, keeps the doctor away.” Well, now we have a new one…It turns out a banana a day has far more benefits than we imagined. It’s also one of those fruits every one (even Claire) will eat and easily found organic all over the country. According to [...] |
