The body becomes what the foods are, as the spirit becomes what the thoughts are. ~Kemetic Saying I have always had a love-hate relationship with school lunches ~ loved the slightly sweet yeast rolls, hated the Salisbury steak the rolls were served with; loved the real mashed potatoes, hated the lumpy brown [gravy] stuff they…

Cooking with Val
This summer was full of change, challenges and more importantly, blessings in abundance. Our daughter graduated from college, our son was an ROTC Field Training selectee, we drove through 4 states (love Arches Nat’l Park in Utah!) to our 11th assignment, we spent some amazing quality time together and with friends and family.

Food for Flowers
  I have taught cooking classes to many people in my kitchen throughout the years; taught large groups at military spouse functions, but today was the first day I have taught a guy aside from my boys, Andre & Toren; and it was at his request! Adam was a quick learner, even though his…
Real Food Served Here!
GMO is one of the latest concerns with food. As a self-proclaimed foodie, I have to admit ignorance on this one. I’d like to think its because I use fresh ingredients and I try to make homemade foods for my friends and family! Because of my love of food and an even greater love for…
Breaking Bread
All sorrows are less with bread. – Miguel de Cervantes There is something so gratifyingly innate about making bread. I love the entire process! Grinding flour, kneading the dough with my hands, the rise or two my loaves get and then the best part: the baking! My kitchen is nice and toasty…

Bad Man
I am a bad, bad man… Well, woman ——- and not really (but I am going for dramatic effect)! My intentions after dusting and laundry were to sit down to a plate of steaming fresh ricotta crepes ( see previous post) for a nice little treat, as the yogurt consumed at 0500 had already left…
Will Work for Food
No, really! With aging cars, kids in college, one broken thing after another, I could use a serious cash flow solution! I have been kicking around many ideas ~ a job, winning the lottery, a very generous donation from an anonymous multi-millionaire, a job, writing a book, getting said book published, becoming famous, getting…
Merry Christmas
May you all have a blessed day – remember the reason we celebrate… And take a moment to remember our military – away from their families, close at heart.
