Returning food to the sacred
Do you remember Strawberry Quick? Am I aging myself here, or does that stuff still exist? I remember as a little girl, my mother would give me ice cold milk turned bright pink by this sugary pink powder made to taste like strawberries. That’s what this smoothie reminds me of, only, it’s made with actual […]
My awesome friend Kim came by the other day with a Juicer for me. I haven’t had one in a while, not since I completely burned out the engine in my Juiceman a couple of years ago. I had intended on replacing it, but then in plans to move here to Maui, I just didn’t […]
The second I start seeing watermelons out in farmer’s markets and grocery stores, I get all gleeful and mouth watery. I think it’s one of my favorite fruits and in fact one, I do a few different things with. This salad/snack dish above is one of those things. It’s so easy and it’s great for […]
Green beans have been in season here for a few months now. Admittedly, they aren’t my favorite, but because we get them through our CSA I decided to play with them a bit to see how to pep them up a bit. What I’ve discovered is that for most of my life, the times that […]

Bamboo Magazine is dedicated to conscious family lifestyles — all that encompasses natural parenting, holistic health, organic foods, green living, the celebration of nature and creativity… and more. Each issue will incorporate a seasonal theme coincided with […]
We really don’t tend to be dessert people in this house. On occasion Jon and I will have a small bowl of vanilla ice cream – his with chocolate on top and mine with a sprinkle of cinnamon. But thats generally it. After dinner, we simply don’t have dessert. In my quest to find gluten […]
A slight chill made its full blown appearance the other day here on the mountain. It had been flirting with us here and there, but last week we had a solid week of chill in the air in honor of the Autumn Equinox. It was surprising good… Like a sweet old friend coming back from […]
