A couple of weeks ago our friends, The Cooks, came through town and stayed at "Hotel Nelson". During their last visit she had given me a few veggie recipes since she knew I was working on this project. I decided to have one of the salads when they came to visit. She even made it for me! Green Bean and Walnut Salad Recipe 1/2 cup ground walnuts 2 medium-size cloves garlic, crushed in a garlic press 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, or more to taste 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice ... more » -

In my quest to love veggies, I thought I would read some books about them. I'm still not quite finished with this book but thought I'd take the time to write up some thoughts and share it here.

I'm introducing a little bit of food blogging into this site. Not exactly crafty, but it definitely fits into the creative side of things so I hope you all will indulge me. I'm trying to get my kids to eat more vegetables. This is difficult for me because there are very few veggies I like. I was a very fickle eater growing up and I want to be able to show my kids a better example about eating well-rounded meals. So, it's time to learn to love my veggies.
