For those of you living in a potentially unsafe area, there are many resources at hand you can help yourself to. Potassium Iodine is recommended, but good luck finding that when you are in an “after the fact” stage. Super Supplements doesn’t even carry it and other health food stores have to order it. Doesn’t…

I know, I know……I will do anything for a decent workout! ;-) Happy Trails………

I have yet to get my nerve up for a soufflé lately, but after this dish and settling into the new kitchen that will be on the horizon. Uh menu. Until then, I tweaked a recipe I found in my old cook book library. This came from “The Complete Encyclopedia of Vegetables and Vegetarian Cooking”…

Last week I finally went to my first Seattle Foodies lunch orchestrated by Darryl Duke. (Thank you Darryl) Each month 40 or so lucky foodies get together to try out some of Seattle’s favorite dining spots. This was one lunch that did not disappoint. Spring Hill Restaurant is located in West Seattle at 4437 California…

I got this from a November 2001 Bon Appétit Magazine and have made it almost every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

One of my favorite fruits in the whole world, if I had to choose, might just be orange. Having been born in Florida may have some strange influence on this matter. But that said, there is nothing like a fresh squeezed glass of chilled orange juice. Especially in the midst of winter snow! Whenever I…

Thought this worth sharing. And my New Years resolution has kicked in!! ;-) Dec. 31, 2010 USDA Certified Organic’s Dirty Little Secret: Neotame By Barbara H.

Happy New Year 2011. Yes, a new and daring Year to be sure. And birthday greetings to my blog being one year old. I have to admit, I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would and was more concerned about folks having enough already to review in their day. But there you have…

I don’t like to get too political here, but when it involves your health and safety I feel compelled. Very compelled.
