It’s blueberry season.  This makes me happy.  Love bluebz.  Do you? Here’s some blueberries from one of my favorite places on earth, Tangerini’s farm.

I can remember when I had my first child, my daughter, Chelsea Rose.  I thought 3 months ‘off from work’ was going to be like a vacation.  HA! HA!  Right?  Not so much.  I barely got in a shower! But, I always did find time to try new recipes and cook up a storm.  And […]

I went to pick up my CSA farm share yesterday at Tangerini’s farm.  There is nothing like being on a farm.  It really is a happy place for me. 🙂  In addition to fresh lettuce, summer squash, beets, scallions and Bok choy, I went out in the fields to pick some fresh chives, thyme and […]

We enjoyed 2 graduation ceremonies, lots of great food in the city (as always!) and even tried […]

One of my clients told me she used quinoa in place of granola in her yogurt parfaits.  I LOVE this idea! So I whipped up a recipe to share with you! Check out this yumminess.  Russ and I love to add quinoa to our hot breakfast cereals.  We toss in steel cut oats and oat […]

One of my favorite Whole Foods Market’s salads is their Israeli Couscous salad.  Couscous is a source of wheat and so is not tolerated by everyone…so… I thought I might create a similar salad with sorghum.  Sorghum is a high fiber gluten free grain.  Since I bought a big bag of it, I wanted to […]
