When I was first learning how to cook I asked my mom for my nonna's recipes. She told me that she didn't even use a recipe and she wished she did. So One day I just sat and watched my mom make her sauce. And then I made it better! But it turns out I [...]
Ok, this recipe is a little heavy. If you are car camping that is no big deal. Plus when you are car camping you can bring fresh pesto instead of in a tube. But when I'm wearing a pack it's usually the first meal I eat so my pack is lighter. However when I kayak [...]
When I go camping in the winter I could have this breakfast lunch and dinner! Plus compared to the other things I make while camping it is very light. The pasta and freeze-dried chili are light in weight so great for backpacking. We took a survey of food and accori=dign to the group mine was [...]
I love holiday traditions. And I love starting my own traditions. Like making lasagna and cannolis on Christmas eve. This year I received some help in the kitchen from my 2 year old niece while I was making the cannolis. She definitely stole the show! How I make my cannolis is first I make pizelles, [...]
So although there may be no music playing during my video... imagine me dancing around the kitchen to Dominick the Donkey and I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas as I make these cookies! There recipe below is for one batch. I made 2 batches in the video and a total of 4 batches to [...]
For my Dad's 70th Birthday I made him a cute little Pecan Pie. Then I also made raw nut cups with the rest of the dough and batter. They came out great! Me: Happy Birthday! I Made you a mini pecan pie. Dad: Do I look like a mini person? Me: You want a whole [...]
Or any dessert really! I use these two recipes so often!!! (I have to re-make the video this weekend because it stopped recording at only 2 minutes. But I wanted to post the recipe today. ) There are three things I dislike about thanksgiving, but i want to write about what I enjoy about it [...]
I am very grateful that my mom instilled some healthy thanksgiving traditions in me. Not so much the running around like a chicken without a head trying to get everything done. But that she would make a healthy meal that included lots of veggie and didn't involve us over-indulging ourselves. I remember one year I [...]
My mom always made chili for us on Halloween. After I became vegetarian she would make two pots of chili. So I would spend half of the day decorating the yard then the evening scaring the kids. After awhile people would get dropped off in front of our house just for the expirence. Chili really [...]
We made it! Yes we made it. I couldn't have done it without you! Me sharing my expirence with others is something that gives me strength. May you find the strength you need to complete your detox. It may be a friend to do it with, or replying to my posts everyday. And remember [...]
