Yep. I decided to change the title. We are all living the Covid life. Whether you are in quarantine, semi-quarantine or just plain don't give a damn, Covid is part of our lives and it doesn't look like it's going away. But I like my food diary and while I might change the name again...and … Continue reading Covid Life Food Diary Week 81
A recent blog I read and a lot of the arguing I see online and hear about on the news and radio recently got me thinking about what I miss since this pandemic started. We've been on lock-down for about 72 days now, so just over two months. We are more fortunate than many as … Continue reading What’s missing?
Dinner with a 10 year old can be a challenge. Add to the normal pickiness a vegetarian diet and it can be a challenge to keep it interesting for the rest of us.

Knowing we had … Continue reading Road Trip to the South with Mixed Eaters
