As the fall and winter begin to set in and you begin to crave warming, hearty foods, the slow cooker becomes ever the more useful. I'm not saying that it's not useful throughout the year, but for me winter is prime slow cooker time. + READ MORE

Cabbage is a great addition to soup, stew, and loads of slow cooker recipes. It's hearty and it's grown locally in autumn all over the place. It also keeps for a long time. + READ MORE

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

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
