As careful as I try to be I mess up all the time. Here’s a perfect example. I was planning our meals for the week and decided that we would have black beans and rice, homemade tortilla chips, green beans and fruit. Then I thought to myself, “We haven’t had yellow rice in a long [...]

I’ve been surround by friends who milled their own wheat for years but always resisted making my own breads because I just didn’t want to do it. I knew some of the facts about bread you buy at the store – even whole wheat bread. Facts like: The flour you buy at the grocery store is [...] This past weekend I visited with a very dear friend, Miss Nelda. Whenever I go to her house she offers me cuttings from her yard, like these: She said to me. “Do you like basil and mint?” I told her I did and before I knew it we were walking through her yard to her herb [...] For mother’s day a couple of weeks ago I got some nice gifts.
