Recently a friend asked me, “How do you feed your kids healthy meals everyday?” She told me how hard it was trying to change her habits and theirs. I told her it’s all about taking small steps and role modeling healthy living for your kids. With the kids home for summer vacation, it’s a great [...]
A few weeks ago, Ziploc and I hosted a fun-filled cooking lesson and dinner at the Cook Street School of Culinary Arts in Denver for a group of local bloggers. We cooked up a fabulous Italian meal where we made risotto, pommes dauphinoise, and tiramisu. Everyone had a great time cooking, chatting and enjoying the [...]
Today’s guest post on milk alternatives is by Renee Bradford. You can find out more about her below. A healthy life is an ongoing journey. Having made a decision to take my health more seriously, I’ve started looking into the food choices I make. To keep food exciting, I’ve made it a point to look [...]
My husband recently came back from yet another Mexican fishing trip. What am I going to do with all this fish I wondered? (You should have my problems, I know.) I decided to grill up a couple of wahoo fillets. Wahoo is related to mackerel and is called “ono” in Hawaii and “peto” in the [...]
I don’t know about you, but mornings are crazy at my house. My son, Nathan, wakes up a full hour before anyone else does. By the time he’s finished dressing and having a healthy breakfast, he’s bored and can’t wait for his sister to come down so he can annoy her. Lucie needs more rest and [...]
Even though it’s been cool and rainy here in Colorado, I’m reminded it’s spring every time I walk into the supermarket. Right out in front my grocer has set up a large produce table packed with strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. I’m lucky that we grow our own berries in our backyard – mostly raspberries and [...]
For this month’s Secret Recipe Club post, I was assigned Healthy Green Kitchen. (Want to join the Secret Recipe Club? Sign up here!) Since Winnie and I have a similar food philosophy – healthy, simple, gluten free and “eco-groovy” (love that term) – I thought this would be an easy assignment. Well, that’s not exactly [...]
The best thing about using Mrs. Dash is that it’s so easy to make everyday dishes something special. For example, one of my favorite, easy-to-make side dishes in the winter or spring is roasted root vegetables. You can use leeks, potatoes, yams, sweet potatoes, onions, mushrooms, turnips, carrots, and garlic – any combination will do. [...]
In the kitchen, I like to use items that are durable and can withstand the test of time, like glassware for storage. Since I purposely cook large quantities of food, I always have leftovers. When I put food away in glassware, I use aluminum foil to cover the top. Inevitably, the wrapping falls off and [...]
Today’s guest post from Holly Clegg deals with staying in for Mother’s Day. I couldn’t agree more! I’d be happy to stay home and cook. Well, as long as I didn’t have to clean up, that is! Mother’s Day brunch at home I hate going to a brunch on Mother’s Day as the restaurants are [...]
