delicious seasonal eats
Before we indulged in our decadent dessert on Sunday night, we enjoyed a very healthy vegan white bean stew that I made in my slow cooker. Slow cooking is such a great way for me to save time (and money) and still make healthy meals for my family. I’m a big fan of making a […]
It has been snowing for about 24 hours and it’s been lovely. We haven’t had real snow for weeks. As much as I’ll dread slick roads tomorrow morning, tonight I am enjoying being inside looking at the Christmas tree twinkling in the background as I edit photos and dream about the unhealthy Holiday treats I’m […]
Some of my fondest childhood memories are attached to things my mother made me for breakfast. She made really good banana bread. I liked it sliced, cold, smeared with butter and cut into tiny cubes. She always used a steak knife and it left little even ridges along the butter as she spread it. The […]
Thanksgiving is over and I will breathe a huge sigh of relief when I’ve finally finished the dishes. I didn’t quite get to all of the side dishes I wanted to make. Instead I’ll make them throughout the next week or so. I have all of the ingredients after all. I started first with this […]

In just a few days my husband and I will celebrate our 10th anniversary. When I was deciding what to serve at our reception, I loved the idea of having a simple soup and salad for our guests. We didn’t have a gigantic wedding. It was very small and simple. I wanted our menu to […]
Awhile back a friend of mine told me that thyme was a great natural remedy for coughs and colds. I made this Honey Thyme Homemade Cough Syrup to reap the benefits of both honey and thyme in fighting off germs and helping to relieve those uncomfortable symptoms of colds. Health Benefits of Honey and Thyme […]
Besides soup, my favorite way to eat butternut squash is roasted. I like it in salads especially. It goes well with roasted apples and thyme. My house smelled so good as I was making this roasted butternut salad! All of the flavors of fall in one yummy salad. I made this vegan, but if you […]

I love autumn so much. I think that’s the sentiment of everyone right now. This year I almost wasn’t ready to let summer go, but now the leaves have turned. The air has a definite chill in it. We started sleeping with the down comforter plus an extra blanket a few nights ago. This afternoon I’ll […]
