My Daily Act :: I made my first trip of the season to the Farmer’s Market. It was a party for all of my senses; the bright colors of fresh, whole food; the aroma of herbs, vegetables, and flowers; the flavorful tidbits of samples; the warmth of the morning sun and the tickle of a …

My Daily Act :: Last week, I was feeling a little under the weather. I wasn’t as active as I wanted to be because I wasn’t feeling up to it. I didn’t eat as well as I wanted to because I didn’t have the energy to prepare food. I was feeling a little guilty for …

My Daily Act :: Technically, this is  a dip but I like to have it around just to eat. Sometimes I’ll eat it with crackers or corn chips and sometimes I just eat it out of a bowl. Not only do I love the taste, I like that the variety of fresh veggies and beans …
