Hawaiian Farmers’ Market

Last week when I was in Hawaii, I made a special visit to the farmers' market.  We got there at the tail end of the market and a lot of the farmers were starting to pack up.  Luckily we were able to snag some fresh fruit.  Check this out: Can you imagine buying this kind… Continue reading Hawaiian Farmers’ Market

“Putting Up” Food

This past Saturday night I had a late night jam session.  If I were Benzo that would mean playing guitar with a bunch of my buddies.  But for me that actually means staying up late to make homemade jam. I was going to post the whole jam-making and canning process in one post, but I feel… Continue reading “Putting Up” Food

Flax seems to be all the rage these days.  I preach the benefits of it often.  But how much do you really know about flaxseed? … Continue reading What is it Wednesday: Flaxseed

Busy Food

 Happy Saturday!  I hope you are doing something fun because guess what - I'm at work again.  😦  But hopefully not for much longer.  It's absolutely gorgeous weather outside and I really want to squeeze in a long run if I can before heading to my dad's house for a BBQ at 1:30pm. I thought… Continue reading Busy Food

Sorry for another late What is it Wednesday post.  I seem to have gotten myself on an evening posting schedule lately.  I would rather post this in the morning so that people will actually read it on Wednesday.  But now when most people read this it will probably be Thursday!  I will try to do… Continue reading What is it Wednesday: Carnauba Wax

Buy Me Some Peanuts & Crackerjack

Tonight we are enjoying a fantastic spring thunderstorm.  It started raining as I was driving home from work, which meant no gardening this evening.  Benzo and I made a quick dinner of scrambled eggs, toast and applesauce and settled in to watch last night's 2 hour episode of 24 on Hulu.  We didn't get home… Continue reading Buy Me Some Peanuts & Crackerjack
