When it was posted to the Healthy Living Summit website that Dawn Jackson Blatner was going to be the keynote speaker, I got really excited. Dawn’s book, The Flexitarian Diet: The Mostly Vegetarian Way to Lose Weight, Be Healthier, Prevent Disease, and Add Years to Your Life was one of the first books I read [...]
With a constant supply of delicious eggs coming from our CSA, it seems only natural to make egg-based dishes. I’ve done a few frittatas, which are so simple and quick to make, but this weekend I decided to step it up a bit and make a quiche. I used this recipe for Smoked Salmon, Dill [...]
Last week I came upon this recipe for this potato and kale frittata. I love making frittatas (is that the correct plural?) and since we had a bunch of potatoes from the farmer’s market that needed to be used, it was a perfect dinner. But the problem with buying kale is that then you have [...]

So, posting hasn’t been quite as frequent as I’d like it to be lately. Seems like I haven’t been able to make much free time since break from school in April. Summer is fast approaching in mid-coast Maine. Around here, it seems like there are just 2 seasons: summer and winter. Winter was too long, [...]
It seems almost unbelievable, but my spring break is just about over. It’s Sunday night, I’m watching Iron Chef. “Battle Butter”?! I should go to bed, get back in the “school routine” and work towards getting over this cold, but I’m too intrigued. My Man and I didn’t cook as much as I intended to [...]
