The greatest pleasure about Spring is planning out our garden.

I love the vibrant colors that flowers add to a space and … More A Sprinkle of Red
Today started off well. Before heading off to the market to pick up much needed necessities, I made a healthy smoothie consisting of nonfat greek yogurt, almonds, soymilk, and nectarine.

Hi! Do I have any gardeners here? One of the most joyous moments of summer for us is going to the garden and witnessing our fruits of labor.

We harvested some onions the other day for dinner and they have such pretty blooms that we didn’t want to throw them out. Each stalk had a ball made of many tiny white flowers at the tip.
