Chococado Pudding

Last night after work I really wanted to go out and work in the garden.  But it was just so hot that I couldn't make myself do it.  So I read for awhile before making dinner.  I just started The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo this week.  I had to wait forever to get it from… Continue reading Chococado Pudding

Hello there! Yes it's Wednesday and I've finally gotten around to doing another What is it Wednesday.  I haven't done this in a blue moon!  Benzo actually requested that I do a WIIW on brown rice syrup because he wants to learn more about it.  I first read about brown rice syrup in The Kind Diet. … Continue reading What is it Wednesday: Brown Rice Syrup

Cool Beans

The other day on I Eat Trees, Keri wrote that she wanted to start eliminating as much packaged food from her family's diet as possible.  If she could make it, she wouldn't buy it.  I commented that I would love to do the same thing, but that my issue is time.  Right now I just… Continue reading Cool Beans

So I now have… Continue reading Poison Ivy

I Answer Your Searches

AmyLeave a comment

So one of the things I love about having my blog on WordPress is that I get to see the search terms that lead people to my blog.  As I mentioned the other day, I've been getting a lot of hits on zucchini, likely because people are harvesting truckloads of zucchini from their gardens and wondering… Continue reading I Answer Your Searches

Cute Curried Lentils

Amy1 Comment

Last night I came home and immediately went to work in the yard (after changing my clothes first of course!).  The front flower bed that we cleaned out and planted back in April had gotten a bit out of control again around the edges.  I pulled weed after weed after weed and got covered with… Continue reading Cute Curried Lentils

Healthy Breakfast for a Crowd

Amy2 Comments

Yesterday I woke up to cloudy skies.  I was hoping to get outside for some yard work, but I dawdled around the house too long, writing about the best chocolate cake ever.  Before I knew it the clouds opened up and dumped rain all over everything.  And they continued to do that until the afternoon.… Continue reading Healthy Breakfast for a Crowd
