I recently found a blog that sent my healthy heart a-flutter. It’s called Not Dabbling in Normal (love it already) and they are hosting a 2nd annual Real Food Challenge this month. During the month of March we’re having the Real Food Challenge. Challenging ourselves and our readers to eat fewer processed foods and focus…

The Last Tomato
Isn’t it pretty? This shot is SOOC (straight out of the camera.) Today, I was supposed to post about a DIY project I’ve been working on, but it’s just short of complete. So, the tomato is kind of a DIY. It was one of the few things that grew in our square foot garden this…
Organic is Beautiful
Are you squeamish? I’m really not trying to shock you or give you a bug phobia… I have a point to make. That little critter on the corn shows the natural and organic farming of my CSA. They do not use pesticides, so say hello to my little friend. You will have some opportunistic creatures…
OM :: The Banana Bread
Many of the blogs I read usually have beautiful photos of stylized objects. I try to make this blog as pretty as possible without compromising reality.

44 x 44 – Jamie Oliver
I don’t think there is anyone cooler than Jamie Oliver. I remember first seeing him on The Naked Chef in 2001 and thinking what a quirky and cheeky cook he was. His passion for fresh ingredients was infectious and he always made cooking look effortless. Like if he could do it, you could too. You…
MN Week – Plushie Radical Jessica Puckett
Preamble to the profile MN Week was born out of the discovery of people I admired online. If I dug them enough, I would click on the About and find a Minnesotan. A few of these discoveries happened in quick succession and I didn’t have to be hit with a snowball to see a pattern….
Blog Love Week – Delicious eat make read
Cooking and exploring food has been a passion of mine for many years. I used to bake all kinds of things from a very early age because my mom refused that chore. To me, it was a pleasure. There is no other feeling like conquering a complicated recipe in a fearless way. A blog that…
