All year long I look forward to going to our cottage, which is strictly a summer place and we have to use a boat to get there. There's no insulation and we use an efficient fire place for heat. Every morning in July and August, I take my cup of tea out to my deck and sit under my umbrella and read....+ READ MORE

When I wrote my post on how to use a solar cooker, I mentioned that we often make use of the stove to get a recipe going. Kind of like using a haybox cooker, the idea is to build up enough heat in the food to start it, and then allow the solar cooker to keep it cooking until it is done.+ READ MORE

If you thought slow-cookers went out of style alongside avocado-colored appliances and shag carpets, you weren’t entirely wrong. But as busy schedules push aside home-cooked meals and healthy dinners, the Crock-Pot is a foolproof—and eco-friendly—solution to the fast-food-every-night problem: it...+ READ MORE

One of my closest friends lives in Ireland and she was surprised the first year she was there just how important and serious St. Patrick's Day is there. I think she was surprised because here in North America everyone uses it as an excuse to drink too much beer and wear silly green clothes, whether...+ READ MORE

I'm Irish and so is my husband but I have to admit that this is not a meal that we often partook in until I realized how easy it was with the slow cooker. Celebrate this fabulously green hued day with a greener take on an ol' Irish favorite and pair it with a homemade green beer.+ READ MORE

I made this last Sunday and we ate it for three days and enjoyed it each and every day. It's easy, filling, flavorful, and great for this frigid weather. Lentils, a small but nutritionally mighty member of the legume family, are a very good source of cholesterol-lowering fiber.+ READ MORE

Mondays are always busy for me and fitting in the time to cook dinner was always a problem. I'm sure many of you live this way all week. You get home from work and have to get something on the table quickly because a family member has to rush off to sports practice or a lesson. My husband and I both...+ READ MORE

It took me about ten minutes to make it first thing in the morning, then I sat down to practice my piano. Three hours later, I got up and the soup was done. I knew that my husband loved it too because he nodded his head a lot while he ate.+ READ MORE

I'm continuing to get a lot of heavy use out of my crock pot. I proselytize about it to anyone who will listen to me long enough. Here are some of the great points in it's favor.+ READ MORE

My daughter has been encouraging me to try doing ribs, even though she doesn't normally eat meat. Most of the recipes I found were had really sweet barbeque sauce or ketchup bases. What I really wanted was a sticky Asian style rib, so I just made it up as I went along. The meat fell off the bone and...+ READ MORE
