Molly is almost as excited about the stawberries turning red as we are. She insists on “checking” on them everytime she goes out in the yard. She sniffs and nudges, but (so far) doesn’t take a bite. She’s even sweeter than a perfectly ripened organic strawberry. I want to do a post on gardeners’ dogs [...]

trader joe’s organic dark chocolate truffle
Those who know me know how much I love Trader Joe’s (who doesn’t?). They offer many organic options, but currently all I can think about is their Organic Dark Chocolate Truffle Bar.

sequoia strawberry update
I just realized that’s been a while since I shared photos of our strawberry plants. There are a number of little white flowers and small green berries! I thought we would have to wait until summer before we saw any fruit. The seedlings we planted are Sequoias, which is a “June-bearing” variety (along with Douglas [...]
drink your greens!
Here are more beautiful greens from our harvest: organic red leaf lettuce, green lettuce, Swiss Chard and spinach (the carrots were purchased from the Farmer’s Market, but they add a great flavor). Drew called it our “Plate of Prosperity”.
We washed it all up in preparation for a green smoothie. We both needed a mid-day pick-me-up. [...]

I kept thinking, “I’ll wait til it gets just a little bigger…” Well with the little heat wave we had courtesy of the Santa Anas, the broccoli stopped [...]

quick, organic vegetable stew
With all the delicious organic green stuff growing in our backyard, I’ve been searching for more spinach recipes – preferably vegan. Here’s a great, quick and hearty vegetable stew adapted from Everyday Food that’s perfect for a cold night. (Here in San Diego, that’s when the temperature drops below 65.) It takes about 45 minutes [...]
