It’s a messy meal and rather time-consuming but oh, so good. I start by chopping up the following vegetables: cabbage carrots green and red bell peppers green onions garlic Quickly stir fry the vegetables in hot oil (I use coconut oil), seasoning with soy sauce, ginger and Creole seasoning. When crisp/tender, pour veggies back into…
Day Two…a little spicy
It’s Day Two of my “30 Day Challenge” and I chose to clean and organize my spice cabinet. As you can see, I have a fairly extensive collection of herbs and spices: Here they are sitting out on the counter. I sorted through them all and found a few duplicates which I could combine in…
30 Day Challenge
One of my friends on a Yahoo email group mentioned doing something she calls a “30 Day Blitz”. Basically, she and her kids are devoting one hour a day for 30 days to getting caught up on some household tasks. Several of us in the group thought this was a great idea and are planning…
Banned Books Week
The 2010 Banned Books Celebration will be held from September 25 through October . Here’s a cute little video produced for the 2009 Banned Books Week celebration: I don’t think I’ll ever quite understand book banning. I mean, if something offends you, don’t read it.

My Life in the Country
Once upon a time there was a little girl who spent too much time in her head and reading books…often about “olden times”, and living on a farm, and such as that. Then the little girl grew up, married, had children and continued to dream about a back-to-the-land lifestyle. But her version included pretty clothes,…
Creamy Artichoke Pasta
I got this recipe for Creamy Artichoke Pasta from allrecipes.com and believe me, it is a keeper! It sounds so simple but the flavor is rich and the texture creamy. From now on there will always be a jar of artichoke hearts in my pantry and cottage cheese in my refrigerator. Ingredients 12 ounces uncooked…
French Friday – Sort of…
It’s been a lovely day, although I can’t really say there was much of a French theme to it. A Margarita isn’t French, right? Oh, I did have two mini croissants for breakfast so that counts. I had worked really hard yesterday getting all the housework done so I could do something different today. I…
