This past January I made a big dietary switch and began eating mostly plant based meals. Although it wasn’t completely by choice, I have managed to stick with it and can honestly say I feel so much better for doing so. Cited as a 2018 Food Trend by Baum + Whiteman, it is said that […]
Vegetables
Zucchini, Zucchini, Zucchini…How Do You Use it All?
Oh my goodness. I wish I had kept track of how many zucchini our one not so little zucchini plant actually produced this summer. It is still going. I have about five more out there and harvested two today. In all I’d guess we are well over 25 or 30 by now. We have reached […]
Israeli Couscous Salad
We have been having a bit of a lazy summer. With the kids out of school and enrolled in half day camps we seem to spend the rest of our time just enjoying being home…unless of course we are busy breaking up bickering children (whose idea were half day camps anyway?!). One of our favorite […]

The recipes you will find within A Painter’s Kitchen ~ Recipes from the Kitchen of Georgia O’Keeffe written by Margaret Wood with a forward by Deborah Madison are just that. Simple. Sparse.

My husband works a lot. We don’t see him in the summer and although we are two months into fall we haven’t really seen him as much as we had hoped or thought we would. He often leaves for work by seven in the morning and sometimes returns well after or just before midnight. Although […]
Eggplant, Mozzarella & Rosemary Slices from Jane Green’s Good Taste Cookbook
As October comes to a close, I am going to be wrapping up my writing on the Good Taste Cookbook from author Jane Green. With a few more recipe reviews yet to share, this one was really one of the first that caught my eye. I love eggplant. Not only is it versatile, it lends […]
Grilled Avocados
The other day when I was waiting at the bus stop for my kids to get dropped off from school I was lucky enough to catch part of Faith Middleton’s Food Schmooze on WNPR. Have you heard this show? It is fabulous. Little tidbits of good food info that is shared as if you were […]
