January 19, 2013

Why are some foods banned in other countries, but still allowed in the U.S.? I’m not new to label reading. In fact, as early as junior high, I wrote a paper on additives in food and remember receiving a packet of materials from the state capital. I think our assignment was to choose a topic, [...]

Kitazawa Seed Co. is the best catalog for Asian vegetable seeds!

January 14, 2013

Kitazawa Seed Co. catalog came today, as if on cue to remind me that I forgot to include it in my list yesterday of seed catalogs that I like to purchase garden seed from. Since putting up a swimming pool for the boys decreased my garden space by well, 18×18 feet to be exact, I [...]

Fueling up with Peach Blueberry Bliss Oatmeal for P90X

December 11, 2012

I did it again. I had my workout time set for 8:30am. But, instead of getting my workout clothes on and heading to the basement at 8:30, I got "busy" with other stuff. And then it got too late to get my P90X Plyo workout in because I had an appointment at 11am to record [...]

A Beet & Apple Salad recipe that can’t be…beat!

Anne’s “To the Summit” Granola

June 26, 2012

I always make homemade granola when we travel. It travels exceptionally well and provides long lasting energy and can be eaten on the sly during meetings! For years I've stuck with one basic recipe that included raw oatmeal, unsweetened juice concentrate, almonds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds and so forth. If I thought we would need [...]
