low-stress ideas for living a deeper shade of green

I’m having fun documenting Meatless Monday recipes these days! I made up this yummy, marinated salad years ago with whatever I had in the refrigerator that particular day, and it worked so well that I now try to make it on a fairly regular basis. My carnivore-turned-vegan husband LOVES this salad and can’t get enough [...]
All my days are meatless now, but I thought I’d jump on the Meatless Monday thing since it is a really great idea. My husband is still a reluctant vegan, so I’m always in search of good transitional meals that satisfy his belly and taste buds. Yesterday, while perusing Pinterest (endless eye candy), I came [...]
It is a cold and rainy day here at GD HQ. I should be craving hot soup or something, right? But, what I really want is veggies – fresh, crunchy, lovely veggies. Oddly enough, I just don’t feel like cooking, but chopping and prepping? Sure! Plugged in my earbuds and some new music I [...]

We all come from different backgrounds, some of us are Christian and some Jewish and we decided to [...]
Having read Anna Hackman’s guest post here and too many articles lately on the high levels or arsenic showing up in rice and rice products, this gluten-free green diva is now hoping they don’t find anything wrong with quinoa! This time of year, I start craving hearty rice pilaf. My family counts on me to [...]
When did apple picking become such a competitive sport? We went out with a couple of the kids and our grand kids this past weekend and when we pulled up to the farm driveway and saw lots of official looking men with flags to direct traffic and that cars were already overflowing into a new parking field at 10am, we kind of knew we might be in for a serious adventure.
