Back Story So this ad for Imperfect Foods kept showing up on my Facebook Feed. Maybe you may have seen it as well. Since I like the idea of having groceries delivered (and stores don’t deliver in my city, which is ridiculous) and I don’t mind the idea of helping offload food surplus, I decided […]
Grain bowls are popping up on menus all over and with good reason. They offer fun combinations of flavors, textures and colors and depending on what sauce and how much of it you use, they can be a really healthy option. They are easy to prep on the weekend for weekday lunches and just so […]
Elderberries have been used for centuries to treat everything from the common cold to flu to rheumatism to constipation. Did you know that elderberry juice was successfully used (and documented) to treat a flu epidemic in Panama in 1995 and also, Germany’s version of our FDA has approved elderberry for treatment of coughs, bronchitis, fevers, […]
Like most cooks, a ton of recipes come across my social media feeds and I am grateful because that’s where I get inspiration, like this Mediterranean Nachos recipe from Vegan Richa (recipe below).

I came across this amazing recipe for dairy-free tomato basil soup (link below) at the end of our tomato growing season when I was desperately searching for a way to use up our rapidly decaying tomatoes without pulling out the canning equipment. I wish I loved canning more but I just don’t. I much prefer […]
Marley Spoon is a dinner kit service that started in Berlin, Germany and has gone global. In the U.S., they have partnered with Martha Stewart to form the Martha and Marley Spoon version of their business model. The ordering process was seamless and communication was excellent. First up, the packaging was fairly standard with the […]
It really is the simple things… It’s been a really hectic few months around here and I have found myself taking the time to enjoy two of my favorite comfort foods– cold brew and sourdough toast. Is there a better way to start your day? And it doesn’t even matter whether we are heading into […]
