“Paws” with a Cause

Paws with a Cause

Since I’m surrounded by dogs this week and next, being the “Doggie Au Pair,” I thought a post on our four-legged friends would be appropriate.    At the moment, I have 2 Dalmatians and 2 King Charles Cavaliers staring at me with the sweetest  “love me” look on their

I Have “Gone to the Dogs!”

Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend! We had snow off and on. They are calling for more snow and rain later today. I just got done placing what seems to be everything but my kitchen sink into my car! For the next 10 days I will be a doggie au pair. I

Raw Garden Flax Sandwich

Raw Garden Flax Sandwich

Just unloaded my dehydrator which was full of goodies!  I did a batch of flaxseed crackers/flatbread that I will use for sandwiches (two-fold or open face) and mini pizza crusts.  I love having these on hand to make quick, easy and yummy meals or snacks.  This is what we had for

“Jod on the Road” Broccoli Pasta

Jod On The Road Broccoli Pasta

One of my many nicknames is “Jod on the Road.”  I acquired this particular title years ago from four of my favorite little people, the Doolittle kids.  When my  BFF, Rhonda, moved from Glendora to Ojai (California), there was only one thing to do… ROAD TRIP!  So, me being

Tomato Onion Flax Cracker

Tomato Onion Flax Cracker

Being a former bread addict, I had to come up with an alternative “vice” for my fix.  And … Tada!  These crackers are SO yummy!  Crunchy, tasty, nutritious and chock-full of fiber.  Dip them, slather them with your favorite spread or eat them “naked” (plain).  Check out the brief stats and

Get Your “Jump” On!

Get Your "Jump" On!

Do you remember jumping on the bed as a kid?  It’s such a childish pleasure, one we associate with being small in the expanse of our parents’ beds, but it can be rediscovered at any time.  (Confession: I sometimes can’t resist a jump or two in a hotel room.)

A Slice of My Life

Scan

Well, I guess I’ll start from early on.

I grew up in the south suburbs of Chicago, IL.   A typical family where the Dad worked and Mom stayed at home and took care of the house and kids.  Ate three meals a day.  Mom for the most part made everything from scratch.

The Dirty Dozen

Dirty Dozen List

The Dirty Dozen.  I’m referring to the list of the 12 conventionally-grown fruits and veggies with the highest burden of pesticide residue.  Most folks think they are doing good by buying and eating lots of fruits and veggies whether they are organic or not.  Little do folks know … their “basket of

Greener Pastures

Greener Pastures

The old idiom “the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence” rings true for me.  I teetered on the fence for a while.  The day I kissed meat, dairy and all things processed goodbye, I jumped off the fence onto “greener pastures.”

Stepping into
