Homemade Mexican Spice Mixes
I used to have no problem buying pre-made spice mixes from the grocery store or the spice section of the bulk foods store. That is… until I one day decided to look at the package of my curry spice mix and noted that MSG (monosodium glutemate), a chemical we absolutely avoid in our house, was […]

Vegan Meat Substitute
The finished “meat”. Haha, I know!!! Not the most photogenic food, but what do you expect? It’s supposed to taste good and be a filling; it isn’t so presentable in things… Are you a vegan or vegetarian? Do you ever host friends that are vegan or vegetarian? Or are you ever in need of a meat style […]

Foraging for Purslane
Purslane sauted in butter with onions and garlic. I love foraging. I love writing posts about foraging here on my blog. But every time I go to write a post on foraging, I start questioning myself.
