I don’t know Ina Garten personally, though I did go to see her earlier this week. She was appearing at the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia, and I felt like I couldn’t pass up a chance to see her. The place was packed, and I was curious about what it was I was going to […]

I am not Italian, not one tiny bit, but I LOVE meatballs! And sauce too. I have made lots of meatballs in an attempt to get them just right, tender, flavorful ones that hold their shape. The last time I made them I had intended to write a post, but they weren’t that good, certainly […]

Thanksgiving cooking is pretty stressful. This is probably the biggest meal you will cook all year, and the time when a lot of people are cooking things they don’t normally cook under stressful conditions, and with a timer running! It is also when you have the opportunity to expose your loved ones to illness if […]

I have a lot of barley in my pantry, no doubt the result of poor inventory procedures… So I’m making some more soup. It has gotten quite cold, quite fast here, and soup will warm my hands and belly. Like a lot of people, I grew up on Campbell’s soup, occasionally we’d get Progresso, if […]
The Food Blog -This looks SO delicious! I too, love soup and I will definately make this one. I am off to like your facebook page, check out mine if you get a chance!ReplyCancel

I have spent the majority of my life on one diet or another. So have most of the women I know. I have lost weight, a lot of it, numerous times. And yet, I am not thin. I have an entire library devoted to books on weight loss, healthy eating, diet cookbooks, think yourself […]
Rosanna Cruz Rogacion -“A diet of self-satisfaction,” love that! Clarissa Pinkola Estes, in “Women Running with Wolves,” talked about her weight. She said it was because of her lineage – and that most of the women in her family were huge. So she said there’s no point in making herself thin. She embraced who she is. Just as you have. That’s great!ReplyCancel

Larks-Michael Pollan’s books were such an eye opener for me in a lot of ways. His points about our over-reliance on nutrition science and various corresponding “scientifically based” fad diets especially. Some food is always “good” and some food is always “bad” and then it changes so the fad diet changes and the cycle goes on and on. I love his “Eat food. Mostly plants. Not too much” quote. That’s the type of diet advice I can embrace.ReplyCancel

Rebecca-I gave up diets a long time ago. A book that validated my food mindset was French Women Don’t Get Fat. The main lesson for me was: everything in balance. Savor and enjoy everything.
I know when I am eating lazy foods-because I’m not a huge fan of food. I know when I need to “clean-up.” Which is where I am now. Thank you so much for sharing. It was what I needed to hear.ReplyCancel
