We’ve sampled a few of their products and here is the first scoop about some of this non-dairy cheesy delight. I used the Gouda to make the Garlicky, Gouda Croutons that topped the roasted veggie […]

Hi my name is Sherry and I am addicted to lip balm. I don’t know when or how it began, but this is my reality. The tricky part is that even though my addiction is out of control, I am kind of particular about it. Over the counter balm wont appease the monkey on my […]

Yesterday our friend Lisa came over with a large box of produce. She was on her way out of town on business and had just received her Door to Door Organics produce delivery, even though she asked them to defer it to another week. Clearly their mistake would be our gain. Lisa has a service […]

The first Michigan snow fall has come and gone . It was hardly a dusting but it still sent me reeling with the need to stock the pantry with cans of soup. It is my perceived protection against a winter chill (or a starving belly). It is like my survival plan. We make soup at […]

I have developed an Alfred Hitchcock obsession. I had never seen a Hitchcock thriller until three weeks ago and now I am honestly addicted. It all began with Rear Window starring the bewitching Grace Kelly and Jimmy Stewart. The plot moved so slowly that it literally terrorized my mind. We are so used to […]

Pillows of pasta stuffed with artichokes lemon, soy ricotta and olives. Yum, double yum. Ravioli is a quick and soul satisfying meal. I found the most exciting brand of raviolis in the freezer section and wanted to share. They are from a company called Rising Moon Organics. They have an appealing and functional website where […]

We adore Halloween. We decorate the house inside and out, wear costumes every chance we get and discuss a month in advance the candy we will hand out. Sandy picks three candies and I pick three. Mine are always, Take 5, Starburst and Almond Joy. They are my fave. You may or may not know […]

Last night I read the craziest thing and wanted to share. Artist and photographer Sallie Davies created “The Happy Meal Art Project.” What began as a stunt to prove a friend wrong has turned into a sobering illustration of what is filling the bellies of many children. Davies purchased a Happy Meal with a plain […]

I find it so exhilarating when I discover things at the farmers market that I have never seen or tasted before. It is like being the Indiana Jones of produce. Yesterday I was introduced to Easter Egg radishes and Pea Shoots. Easter Egg radishes are dainty in size and gorgeous in color. As I […]
