Everyone wants better health, and most people are aware of at least some of the lifestyle behaviors that will lead to better health.
Thought I'd give you a quick update on the goings-on here in Cornville, Arizona. The summer was busy in the garden with a wonderful harvest. But unlike gardening in New Jersey, where I lived for 57 years, here in the Sedona area, we actually can garden almost...
Easy, Breezy, Stroganoff Looking for an easy-breezy dinner that is hearty, full of flavor, and versatile? Look no further. I present you with my spur-of-the-moment Mushroom Sausage Stroganoff. Tonight, it will be served adorning a baked potato and a splash of fresh...
Will The Real Garden Volunteers Please Stand Out? Back in my June 15 blog, I introduced you to my garden volunteers, who at that time had yet to reveal their identity to me. Well, fast forward to today, and I now have fun and exciting answers. [gallery link="none"...
I Like Pie, You Like Pie - Let's All Have PIE! Today’s recipe is a diversion from my typical recipes, wherein I rarely use prepared items for ingredients. This pie is quick and easy to put together using pantry ingredients along with some fresh plums. I had purchased...
Ready. Set. Glow https://youtu.be/V0jXfB6vj_A Concurrent with my efforts to learn more about and implement veganic gardening, I have been working on creating an outdoor oasis in my backyard with the desire of being environmentally conscious (and not dramatically...
Welcome to My Backyard I hope you just watched and enjoyed my introduction to the perennial bed that’s in my backyard. It so exceeded my expectations this year; and as you saw, I will be needing to move two of the larger plants to other locations in the yard that...
When I want comfort food, I typically reach for some sort of pasta. And with a well-stocked pantry (I tend to include my dry storage cabinet as well as refrigerator and freezer), it’s a quick, easy, hearty, and delicious meal. Any of these recipes can be modified to...
One of my favorite pantry items (stored in the refrigerator) has become JUST Egg. It is so versatile and enables me to quickly whip up breakfast for dinner, or any time of day, for that matter, including breakfast. Back in the day when quiche was in vogue, I have to...
Growin' a Garden With myself retreating at home, I’ve been spending lots of time basking in yard work, and thoroughly enjoying every moment! I've been hard at work in my garden, so stay tuned to see how that is coming along, and to see what I throw together in the...
Warm cinnamon rolls, fresh out of the oven, allowed to cool long enough so they are gently warm, glaze drizzled over them……paired with a cup of coffee or tea…..what could possibly be better! I made these a couple of weeks ago, shortly after my parents and I...
In these times of stay-at-home orders across the globe, many of us find ourselves relying, more and more, on meals coming from our pantry. I arose the other morning with a desire to have something comforting, warming my soul equally as much as my physical body....
As promised, here is part two of this blog for batch cooking and using up all those great pantry items you might have around! Perhaps You Have Peppers... Stuffed peppers are another great way to use your bulk cooked ingredients for a flavorful meal. While I typically...

I’ve always had a love for cooking and read cookbooks and cooking magazines the way other people read books. They inspire me to create my own recipes and have taught me the ‘science’ of cooking, most especially baking.
Julia Child (definitely nothing veg about her, but probably the greatest skills technician) and my maternal Italian grandmother, Mary, were my first mentors. With the advent of the celebrity chef and abundance of television cooking shows, inspiration continued to be placed before me. Food, its preparation with love, and the creativity it sparks within me, became a passion of mine.
