Potato Ravioli From Every Day in Tuscany by Frances Mayes By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Apr 12 2010 I've only been to Italy once, but oh, what a trip. My husband's present for my 40th birthday was a food trip and I went with a small group where we toured around Tuscany visiting artisans who produced food the same way their ancestors did. It was such a wonderful week, and the memories of what I ate and the people who produced those meals are still vivid. + READ MORE

Showcase the Seasonal Bounty on a Homemade Pizza By Sara Novak IN Food & Health Mar 9 2010 When it comes to making pizza, I already have most of the staples necessary to make the basic pie.

The Easiest Tomato Pasta Sauce You'll Ever Make By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Feb 12 2010 My husband and I are both trying to lighten our lives, getting our house in order, as it were. He is out of town for ten days, so I'm taking advantage of his empty home office to completely revamp and reorder his filing cabinets. It is one of my responsibilities to do the filing, and if I'm completely honest, I'm really terrible at it. Every time my husband says "where would I find..." my heart sinks because I mostly have to say "no idea". Part of it is a lack of committment to the task and part of it is because I inherited this job from him and his way of filing things is quite different from mine and everything always seems to be in the wrong place. + READ MORE

A Delicious Potluck Venison Stew By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Feb 10 2010 As one might imagine, I spend a lot of my time cooking and eating, but my other great passion is reading. It makes perfect sense that the book club I belong to reads books that are food related. We take the theme of the book we are reading and cook a dinner around it. Last meeting we made a fantastic Indian dinner and this time we were cooking Italian. + READ MORE

A Throw-Together Dinner: Pasta with Sausage Tomato and Spinach By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Feb 2 2010 I had one of those days in the kitchen where all my best plans went awry.

I had a recipe for a spinach pesto which sounded like just the thing. + READ MORE

Soup of the Week: Italian Bean and Kale Soup By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Jan 22 2010 I'm hosting a dinner party in a couple of weeks for my book club.

A Crock Pot Recipe for a Cold Day: Puttanesca Sauce By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Jan 14 2010 I have a new cookbook called The Canadian Living Slow Cooker Collection which I've been itching to try, so I made the Puttanesca sauce which was absolutely delicious. Not only that, I think it is the easiest pasta sauce I have ever made. Five minutes of prep time and five hours in the crock pot and five minutes for the pasta and I was ladling up this wonderful, garlicky tangy sauce which was perfect with my homemade pasta. + READ MORE

25 Take-Out Foods You Can Make at Home For Cheaper By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Dec 14 2009 digg_url = 'http://planetgreen.discovery.com/food-health/takeout-treats-home.html';Other than the ubiquitous fast food hamburger or fried chicken, it seems to me that the majority of take-out foods come from cuisines other than American. Pulling together the material for this post made my wonder why that is. Do we order Chinese food because we don't normally have the ingredients for it in our pantries? Do we order Indian food because it's too foreign to cook it ourselves? Do we take-out fried chicken because we are afraid to deep fry something? + READ MORE

Try a Vegetarian Main Course for Thanksgiving: Pumpkin Gnocchi By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Nov 12 2009 I think the holiday demands a vegetarian main course dish that makes you feel like you've just had something special, something that you wouldn't normally eat. My husband, who rarely makes food suggestions, came up with the idea for pumpkin gnocchi which seemed like a perfect entree. Rich and satisfying, most people only think about ordering gnocchi in an Italian restaurant. + READ MORE

5 Free Green Ways to Reverse Summer Skin and Hair Damage By Laurel House IN Fashion & Beauty Aug 20 2009 Seems we?re often attempting to mimic nature when paying big bucks for beautifying treatments. You spend wads of cash trying to get a ?natural? spray tan glow?the more expensive, the more seemingly ?natural.? You dedicate hours out of your day at the local hair salon trying to transform your locks from dull and mousy to sun-kissed and highlighted. Since Mother Nature has proven herself to be the most direct (and least expensive) route to beauty, why do we continue to try and outdo her with chemically concocted copy-cats that pale in comparison? + READ MORE

On the Grill: Easy Individual Flat Bread Pizza By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Jul 7 2009 One of the things that I missed on my little European jaunt was a good pizza. I didn't have time to make myself one when I returned because we were heading off to our summer abode the next day. I don't have an oven at my cottage, so making a regular pizza has always seemed out of the question, but I've been reading about how to make a pizza on a grill. + READ MORE
