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.

Kale and Bean soup Review and Pics

I really simplified this recipe.  I ended up sauteing 1 TBSP of olive oil with two cloves of crushed garlic.  Then I added one can of Northern beans and one can of vegetable broth.  I pureed another can of beans and another can of broth in the food processor.  And then added them to the existing mix with salt, pepper and Old Bay Seasoning.  Then I added about 2 cups of chopped kale.  This was delicious.  I have to give props to the kids for trying it and they both said that they liked it.  We'll see tomorrow when it is lunchtime and I ask if they want it warmed up.her
