something about rainy days tempt me to either make a big pot of chili with cornbread OR beef stew with homemade biscuits... I prefer chili but the rest of the gang prefers beef stew. So... a big pot of delectable beef stew is simmering and smelling wonderful!!
Throughout the day, kids come and go asking what i am cooking, stirring, talking about their day, asking what i am doing next and just a general comfortable conversing.
I love cooking and creating new recipes...combining recipes to make new dishes that are a one of kind meal. I go from vegetarian to not but mostly try and keep organic foods in the house. i have a whole organic cow in my freezer, and will have an organic pig and chickens come November. Since i grew up on a farm i LOVe having food that is healthy and i know isnt commercialized junk. Finding it is hard though and affording it is also a biggie. Since i cook most everything from scratch, I know what goes into my food and that alone saves money.
Cooking has always been therapy for me... i rarely use cookbooks as they seem so narrow and rigid..instead i think about what i have on hand, the colors, the textures, the right amount of green and white vegies, spice and cooling and breads i need to make..... now i dont care for sweets but breads now are my downfall..especially when i grind the grains and make several loaves at a time..Pure Heaven!!!!
So.. whats for dinner for you??

Beef Stew is my all time favorite comfort food.
I would love to cook from sratch and not follow recipes or cookbooks, this is what I'm working towards.
Your children are very lucky.:)
Throw caution to the wind goddess, and COOK up a storm.
Sometimes they ask for junk food and then within a few days begging me to COOK real stuff.
