People of my age may not admit it, but most of us grew up eating Hamburger Helper, to be known henceforth simply as “HH.” Â In fact, before I could cook from scratch, I made HH weekly as part of my “home cooking” and I thought I was doing great and my hubby loved it! Fast […]
Dehydrating Zoodles and Squashetti
August 11, 2013 By
We love our pasta around here, especially if it’s whole-grain and homemade. However, as a diabetic, I prefer a lower carb pasta, but one that must be as comforting, tasty, satisfying and as filling as grain-based pasta.

Barbecued Lentils
March 24, 2009 By
We like this a tad sweeter than the recipe, so taste and adjust seasonings and sweetness to taste. We use this on top of organic all-beef hot dogs in homemade hot dog buns, or mixed into cooked brown rice or barley, or just as a yummy side dish. It’s good warm or cold and great […]
