Beautiful, warm, authentic...a dream kitchen, to me! Bravo!!

Potatoes...sweet or white, have kept people alive and well for centuries! Read the work of Dr. John McDougall, extra brilliant nutrition doc and his take on potatoes :) "The starch solution" his latest, GREAT read. anyway...i keep cooked potatoes in the fridge almost all the time, usually baked in the micro for speed sake.

A FAV vegan breakfast ...~dice a warmed sweet potato, & a small diced apple, half a diced banana or so, a sprinkle of cinnamon, a lil dry oats, and a drizzle of honey. Y.U.M!

In this time of serious economic challenge, beans and potatoes are an inexpensive & satisfying meal as well. RETHINK the potato ...millions have survived the worst of times on them- alone.

This piece... such nurturing, warm, thoughful, soul filling reading...thank you, so very much!

THANK YOU...for sharing this totally inviting, engaging and REAL, lived in kitchen! Isnt the warmth and genuine-ness of it exactly the FEELING we're all so seeking & spending a bazillion bucks TRYING to achieve?? Just...KEEP IT REAL folks...and KEEP ON AT...LOVE this kind of REALITY CHECK :)

WOWZA...this is~ ultimate cool!!

DIll Pickle...hands down (for me anyway). It's one i wouldnt tire of (i just found my way through a MAJOR paint indecision ordeal) . There's hardly a thing that doesnt look better or complimented by a soft yellow, if it's the right one. This...you can't go wrong with :)

Both my husband and I take a $20.00 bill as our spending money, once a week. That's IT. Groceries, other essentials are paid using a credit card that pays you back quarterly. All these tips, plus cooking at home, the Old fashioned way (lots of soups, stews, bean dishes, no meat) reeeeally help. It's a tough world out there, and I'm soooo sorry for all the younger generation that was never taught how to cook, or stretch those dollars. OUCH.
