My Cookbook

When you think of something “classic” what comes to mind? Do you think of Mozart or Beethoven? What about classic literature like Les Miserables, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, or Where the Red Fern Grows? These things are considered classics because they are timeless; they motivate and change you, they inspire and touch you every time you experience them. However, a classic just isn’t the same if it’s “watered down”. When a classic book is abridged, it’s changed and something is lost.

To me food is a classic; a timeless element of life. Food is one of our most basic needs. It sustains life. I often wonder why so many people live on “watered down”, abridged, changed or even adulterated food? Take a trip down your local grocery store isle and you’ll quickly see that what we eat is often far from it’s original source. Around our house we like to joke that most people don’t eat real food but rather “edible food-like substances”.

My purpose in sharing the recipes in this book is to help you reconnect with real food – to fall in love with the process of the meal time preparation and to recapture something special that our culture has lost. I’ll show you how to cook “from scratch” and not from a bottle, box, or package.

Don’t be intimidated! This book will teach you that cooking from scratch is simple, economical, healthful and fantastically delicious!

On June 1, 2010 I will be sending my cookbook proof to the publisher for printing. I am so excited to be able to share this with you!

Education. Inspiration. Celebration

Wow! I finally arrived in cyber world. I have fought this for so long. I couldn't understand how people could spend time blogging about their life, when I could hardly find time to sit down. Well, here I am. . . Now What?!?

I have a passion for nourishing my family, and that usually means feeding them good healthy food. But, what I realized is that there is more to nourishing a family then just healthy food. We need to love, learn, work and play together in order to grow a nourished family.

I am dedicating this blog to the things I know, I learn, and I experience that help nourish my family.

I invite you to learn, experience and grow with me!
