Welcome to My Kitchen

This is the place that I love to be. I like to be creative and cooking is what is doing it for me these days. It's kind of a necessity and it makes me feel accomplished. I like knowing what we are eating and where it comes from. I go out of my way to make sure this happens.
I like that I don't buy several household staples from a grocery store. I enjoy making applesauce, jams and jellies, apple butter, spaghetti sauce, spicy mustard, pickles and anything else I can.
I like getting dirty, getting my hands into things, feeling and experiencing my food from the beginning to the end. I like making things, growing things and bringing those two together to create a healthy meal. I like nourishing others and knowing that I did my best to give them the best.

Greek Stuffed Peppers Review and Pic

Here they are!  These were good.  The kids weren't fans.  I would put these into a summer menu rotation.  They would be a must for when garden peppers are plentiful. 
I have another really great vegetarian stuffed pepper recipe that my mom always made growing up and she's not vegetarian.  I will try that soon and post.
I think I am going to try to focus on fresh produce for the blog this summer since that's what I am trying to encompass into my life.  I try to limit our food intake that comes from a box or bag and when it has to I really try to get organic.  I have eliminated a great deal of processed foods from our diets.  I figure that if the kids get used to this now with the candy and treats sprinkled in, they will develop a taste for what's healthy.
