Yesterday I received an email reminding me that the 10th annual Earth Hour event is coming up. For one hour, millions around the world turn off their lights as a symbol of commitment to the planet. I first heard about Earth Hour and observed it in 2008 which was the event’s second year. We’ve been…
Easy Cheesy Black Bean Enchiladas
We all need a repertoire of easy weeknight meals. And since many of us are trying to eat less meat, if some of those meals are vegetarian, even better.

Happy birthday, Laura Ingalls Wilder! Did you know that today is the 150th anniversary of her birth? I am a big fan of her books and the television show they inspired. For much of my life the stories of the Ingalls family have inspired me. Their courage, hard work and faith in spite of often…

Cabbage Leek Diet Soup ~ An Instant Pot Recipe
