Returning food to the sacred
This love affair started almost 12 years ago when I was off to one sisterhood circle gathering after another, and all of them were potluck. There was and is something sacred about breaking bread together after a few hours of journeying to the core of our souls as a circle. Bringing food that was lush […]
A while back I wrote about the amazing lime bounty I was getting from my friends Roxanne and Shane. Their tree just bursts with limes every year and they are wonderfully generous with their fruit. At one point I had so many that I froze the juice, but also kept the zest, in order to […]
I harvested my first bundle of organic, home grown Cilantro yesterday. It’s been so many years since I had any sort of garden, it feels like the first time, and it’s so exciting. We have started small. Potted herbs along the staircase that leads up to our door. Cilantro, Rosemary, Basil, Chives and Mint. They’re […]

We all talk about the importance of buying organic produce and its almost just a forgone assumption, even though you may not know exactly why its important. The sad truth is that we are living in a world where more and more, our food is harming us and degrading the over all health of our […]
Bob’s Red Mill Homemade Wonderful Bread Mix is now a total staple in my pantry. I’ve mentioned before that I’ve tried quite the variety of pre-baked gluten free bread loaves from the market as well as mixes. None of them were remotely as good as Bob’s Red Mill mixes. The bread is soft, moist, and […]
