They are extremely nutritious- high in protein and oil....

Favorite Garden Salad As I looked out over my container garden this week, a sense of joy filled my heart. I’m no master gardener, mind you, but I can handle a deck-full of herb pots.

In gardening, one sprinkles tiny seed kernels over the freshly stirred soil....

When was the last time you had a salad with no chopping?! Ahhh, this Grape Salad guarantees that ZERO chopping and more like of a toss-mix-serve kind of salad. It’s the perfect last-minute lazy dish to bring to a potluck yet everybody would still chow down on this.

I do not make my own salty crackers, graham crackers, or animal crackers....

Corn has been one of my favorite vegetable since childhood no matter how it is prepared : boiled (boiled corn with cajun seasoning), grilled or simply as an ingredient in the gravy (gajbaje). Corn on the cob is popular across the world.

Since I’ve been put in charge of the grill here at home (hubby lets me do my thing), I am taking advantage of the opportunity to make something a little healthier than usual....
