What an excellent day it was. The temperature was almost perfect with a slight breeze and those Autumn skies; you know the ones, a bit overcast and grey. These are days for the kitchen! I had requests for an apple streusel and some chocolate chip cookies. One girl came and our visit was amazing. Do you have favorite recipes? I have a tendency to 'tweak' recipes to make them my own. Start with a basic recipe and decide what you want to do with it. You can easily dress a meal up with seasonings alone. Limit that mess that hurts the body if used at all; the good stuff is from nature. Use that. Water. I mean seriously, have you read the ingredients in almond milk? How easy was it to convince people that adding chemicals and additives to their daily consumption was a good thing? It's everywhere now, people talk about the packaged foods being so bad for us all. They are in my opinion and, for me it's been mostly natural and organic always. There is no need to join a fad where folks are catching on and seeking out healthier options. Cooking can take 5-15 minutes longer but the end result beats the heck out of poor health.

Get healthy! We can at least enjoy our food and appreciate it is not hurting us. To say that does not infer seaweed and kelp! HAH! We have foods given to us in nature and those foods are loaded with nutrients and flavor. did I mention, natural flavors? 

Tweak recipes to make them yours; add ingredients or flavors you like. Do not be afraid to try. I might add a bit of allspice to a loaf of cinnamon bread. You should try and with some of that good old home made butter! Let's talk more on recipes and remedies following. Join me for your suggestions.
