Been a minute… I’m still here
It’s been around four months since my last post, and I do apologize for the lapse. While I have been very busy, I could have taken a moment to update rather than wait until things piled up☺️. I’ve been knitting every chance I get as well as painting, drawing, and baking. This post I will…

A touch of class
We are in full blown southern summer time heat in our little mountain home. Yet life carries on no matter the weather. Meals must be prepared to feed and energize our bodies. The heat calls me outside to the grill to not only enjoy beautiful summer days while cooking but also to keep from heating…

Italian creation
Yes, I have a tiny bit of Italian in my dna along with the Scot-Irish, German, Wales, and English. My 9th great grandfather was Italian, and I do so love Italian food. We all know all that white flour pasta isn’t good for a body. BUT…. there are healthy ways to enjoy those wonderful spices.…

Peppermint
I’m always looking for natural ingredients for hot teas. It is wonderful when one of my long-time favorite ingredients is also great for medicinal uses as well. I have grown, dried, and brewed peppermint for years. It is a great addition to iced sweet black tea that’s so popular in the south. While I ceased…

Little bit of fall 🍁…
…little bit of summer ☀️. That’s the weather around here today. Rain and clouds, mid 60 temps with a bit more storms coming in overnight. The dreary look outside called for a more fallish meal with a touch of “summer is near” to top it off. I have fresh zucchini squash on hand along with…

Another cold day experiment
Cold days always end with me in the kitchen at some point baking something. Today, I realized that I had a bit of flaxseed meal that needed using. So, I looked in the archived recipes that I will bookmark while browsing the web. I had to laugh as it was amusing that the chef of…

When you get a hankering..
For some good old-fashioned chicken and dumplings but you want to keep it healthy. There is a long debate on whether drop dumplings came from the south or the north. I’ve never cared for the flat, rectangle, rolled, and cut dumplings. First off, that’s a lot of extra time involved to roll out and cut.…

It’s been a minute.
Here we are in a brand new year, and I have been a bit remiss in posting. But I shall carry onward and forward. Hubby and I both had a 5 day bug that caused us to cancel travel plans for Christmas. This wasn’t necessarily a bad thing since we had the cold blast from…

Cornbread..a southern favorite
If you have ever lived in or visited the south you would be amiss if you never tried good old southern cornbread. While it is a staple on most southern tables, there are as many versions as there are southerners. My favorite is white cornmeal with a heaping tablespoon of flour mixed in with an…

So much goodness in such a small package!
I have been craving a peanut butter cookie for a while now. They are pretty healthy unless they call for white enriched flour. I wanted the most healthy version I could find. This is when I truly love the ability to search the internet. I’m building a digital bookmarked cookbook of all types healthy food…
