Last week when Teresa “Dicentra” Black of One Pan Wonders asked if she could bring Tater Tuesday back to life, well she and I got talking. How about a Two-Fer…where her and I decided on the main ingredients and then went and created our own recipes. How far apart would they be? It is pretty [...]

Instant hummus – It is frugally affordable, it is vegetarian/vegan and most brands are gluten free as well. You can even find it in bulk bins in some natural food stores.

Hoping to hear that some of our readers will be getting out this coming weekend (maybe the snow will slow down for some of us!). New Years Day is often a snowshoeing day for us, getting out and loving the snow till we freeze – then we head home. Good way to clear the mind [...]

6 years ago around this time I was sitting on the bank of the Skokomish River with a group of friends.We’d often go out for crazy trips of freezing our butts off. The Skokomish is in Olympic National Park and we took over the campground. Our entertainment one night was a ranger driving a moped [...]
