Just a quick post today...life is still crazy busy! I am sorely missing the kitchen these days...but the good news is we have had the most beautiful warm/hot summer. Wouldn't you know it, the first time in 8 years, and I do not have time to do a garden...DANG! In the meantime with life being […]
After all these years of having fresh herbs in the garden, I finally decided to dry fresh lemon balm and mint. I can not believe with a garden full of these lovely herbs I have not done this sooner! Lemon Balm is said to have many healing qualities - you can read about lemon balm […]
This was such a refreshing delicious lemonade. I had gone to our local Nursery to buy my Basil Plants for the summer. The owner was in the process of cutting back a large Grapefruit Mint Plant, and gifted me with the cuttings. I had never heard of Grapefruit Mint before, have you? The flavor of […]
As I may have mentioned previously, years ago when healing from Celiac Disease I made the choice to heal naturally. I have never done well with medication of any kind, including aspirin! I wanted to get vitamin packed nutrients from vegetables of all kinds. We bought an inexpensive juicer and at that time regularly made […]
As I write up this post, I am spooning this luscious smoothie into my mouth....I just want to devour it in one go! We go through fazes where we have smoothies 3-4 times a week, then we won't have them for a while, then we are back to having them on a regular basis again. […]

Years ago when I was first healing from Celiac Disease, one of the first things we did was to buy an inexpensive juicer. We made fresh, healing, juices every day. I swear by them. They are so easy to make, and they can actually taste really really good. Doesn't this one look so pretty? So […]
Each summer I stock pile my freezer with berries…..strawberries, blueberries and blackberries. They are wonderful to have for pies, crisps, cakes, coulis…and smoothies throughout the year. And by using frozen berries in a smoothie - you do not need ice - so you end up with a more concentrated berry taste. There are no measurements […]
Years ago, I'm guessing 15-17, I had a small studio downtown. There was a cafe next door that served, what I thought then, was the best Iced Tea I have ever had....yeah right....lemon juice from concentrate-yuck, ridiculous amounts of sugar, ohh no! I asked them for the recipe, and after a short time, began having […]
