I’m a Pagan mom, raising my kids on a Pagan path. Pagans come in as many different flavors as Christians do. But just as Jesus is the focal point of each Christian church, so is veneration for the earth and elements at the core of a variety of Pagan beliefs. There are “high days” throughout the year, commonly referred to as the “Wheel”, which includes three harvest festivals.

Sometimes my cooking can pay off. Tonight was absolutely one of those nights! Maybe a year or two ago, maybe more, I remembered cooking pork chops with some apple or pear and onions on top. I couldn’t remember all the details, so I Googled similar recipes, noted similarities in some, and threw ingredients together. The [...]
Just when I thought I’d heard it all in terms of ridiculous lawsuits, I read about this California mother who is suing Nutella because it isn’t healthy. What the heck? Is this really what we have come to? Who on earth thought that Nutella was health food to begin with, anyway? Follow @dailymomtra

Alrighty, this is the recipe that is really not for those who rely on exact measurements. My descriptions are sufficient, of course, and maybe someone could even, you know, actually write this out like a big girl recipe. But you know what? IT WAS TASTY! I was really impressed with this soup, even if the [...]

It’s been a slow week around these parts, but as promised, here’s some food for your Friday! Super easy, minimal effort, one pot soup with lots of flavor.

Christie instructed me to write up a “Food Friday” post for this week, but my Friday slipped away from me. Ooops! So, here we are: “Scrumptious Saturday.” Today’s recipe is not really a recipe, but a super fun food to make that everyone will love, is much healthier than the delivery version, and will last [...]

We asked and you responded. You want food! Healthy food! So starting now, look for at least one food post on Fridays. First, I have to admit something. I am L-A-Z-Y. I never do recipes exactly right, not even the first time I try them. I usually don’t measure things but I’m really good at [...]
