Home cooked food is cheaper than fast food

May 23

To eat healthy or to eat on the cheap? This eternal question whips around in our lives ad nauseum.  lt’s like considering, which is Jane Austen’s best book, or which guy was a better singer –Sinatra or Bennett?  An impossible conundrum. There are times we have done both.

When my kids were babies I made their food. But we didn’t

Blogathon 22

A market in France

How can we ensure we always have a real meal? By growing, raising and making it ourselves, of course. Some people aren’t dog people and some people aren’t garden people.

Bounty in the field

On Thursday Sept. 24, Idaho’s Bounty held Dinner in the Field, at the Hailey (Idaho) home of Jim and Evelyn Phillips. The dinner highlighted the great abundance of regional and local organic produce, along with the talents of several guest chefs and the Idaho’s Bounty organization. It was a superb evening, unseasonably warm and dry for late September in the mountains. The Phillips’ lush
