I eat a ton of salads, and so do my family members, and green onions go on EVERY salad. So I buy at least two bunches every week. They’re not that expensive – usually about $1.25 – $1.50 for two bunches. Still, that’s approximately $75 a year that I could spend on something else. More […]

This is the kind of produce we should all be promoting and eating. It’s a lettuce mix called “Lettuce Buy Local”. It’s a mix of three lettuces: 1. Romaine 2. Green Lollo 3. Red Lollo Pesticide free: the farm that grows this is local but it’s spreading all over the southeast, according to their website. […]

Parsley is supposedly the world’s most popular herb. I planted parsley in a pot last spring, rather than in the ground, and had no expectation that it would survive the winter with its snows (OK, not so much snow this past year), sleet, ice and single digital temps. In the autumn, right before the first […]

I love and adore lettuce and here were three varieties I’d never eaten before: * Sweet gem * Tango * Oak Vitamin A, numerous B vitamins, vitamin C, calcium, manganese, iron, potassium, copper, phosphorous are just a few of the nutritional […]

OK, I admit I made up the ‘world famous’ part about my vegetarian stew, but at least it’s famous among my family and most everyone who knows me. If you’re looking for a vegetarian dinner idea, or a lunch idea – heck, I even eat it for breakfast – then this is it. Reasons to […]

If you have any Kraft Macaroni & Cheese boxed dinners in your pantry, you need to check them out now. The FDA announced that Kraft is doing a recall of approximately a quarter of a million boxes due to dangerous metal fragments in the pasta you and your family might eat. Let’s face it … eating these […]

Today is the first day of spring.  That’s a good thing in many ways. The trees are flowering here and the jonquils/daffodils have already passed their prime. Forsythia is only pretty when it’s blooming, IMO, and that’s about over. The days are getting longer so there’s more sunshine. The only thing I DON’T like about […]
