Organic Seeds | Following Our Gardening Journey
A few months ago I ordered some organic seeds from Seeds of Change, an organization that supports sustainable organic and heirloom growers. Since we are only going to do some container gardening, I ordered things that would grow well in pots–tomatoes, peppers and a variety of herbs. Per the usual for me lately, I more »
Bean Sprouts and Safety | What’s the deal?
I love bean sprouts. I like them on sandwiches, salads and well, just in general. So every time I hear a news story about them causing some widespread illness I think, “What the heck?” According to The New York Times, Germany is now reporting that the outbreak which killed at least 30 people was due to more »

The Grape Escape

Don’t, Don’t Lick Your Fruits (and Veggies)
I have to tell you, this whole eating healthy thing is stressful. Not that I’ve been eating THAT healthy, but I have been trying to make better choices in the local and organic fruit, veggie and meat selections.
