Noodle Salad Recipe ~ Cooking a Meal for 25
August 11, 2010
In early July I prepared a lunch for twenty-five young adults working with Lots To Gardens. This was one of the commitments I was referring to in this post (the clash of too many commitments having brought me to the brink of my sanity.) Our family has invested in this ...
A Vegan Summer CSA Menu Plan

Chia Vanilla Pudding (and other dessert thoughts)
May 10, 2010
Getting our priorities in order, let's start off this week of eats with a dessert recipe. Kind of ironic considering we don't prepare typical desserts for everyday fare. I bake cakes for my kiddos' birthdays, or even better, my mom might be visiting and do the baking instead. After years ...
