Vegetarian Chicken Vegetable Noodle Soup Recipe
When we are traveling on the road for my husband's work you need to plan your meals as best as possible. We can't take a lot of food with us when we leave and we hate wasting food and money. So when you get down to the last week of the seminar, and you are preparing to move to a new location, you start getting more creative with your food. We did not go grocery shopping on Sunday like we normally would do. We need to eat the items we have left and if we run out of meals, we will eat out. … [Read more...]
Edamame Is Good For You
And my Princess loves it! Edamame are green soybeans in the pod that are picked before they ripen. Preparing edamame is so easy too. We buy it ours frozen at the local grocery store. You can easily find it organic, which are happy for; soybeans truly are best when bought organic. They even sell them dry roasted to eat as a snack. The frozen edamame just needs to be boiled for 5 minutes and we like to lightly salt them. A quick and healthy side to any plate; much better with … [Read more...]

Organic Strawberry Freezer Jam
Isn't it pretty? I am just so excited. I made my first batch of Organic Strawberry Freezer Jam. I have been talking about making it for weeks, and today I just decided that yes, I will do it. Did you know that strawberries are on the "dirty dozen" list of things you should buy organic? We have a local farm here in the great Pacific Northwest that sells organic produce including strawberries. (Organic strawberries are not cheap! $16 for a half of a flat.) But, I only used half for this amount … [Read more...]
Chicken? Well at least it was organic.
Well, my daughter is not quite 10 months old and she ate chicken! I was feeding her a left over Gerber Organic winter squash mixed with corn and she finished it. So I took out a new 3rd stage Earth's Best Organic Soup - split pea and carrot. She took her first bite of this new soup and made a small face but liked it well enough. After the third bite, I noticed something on the front that I didn't see when I bought it at BRU. The two small words that I should have noticed - "with … [Read more...]
