The Granola Escapades

Several weeks ago I decided that I was going to make some bread, from scratch. With everything I’ve ever cooked and baked making homemade bread was not something I’d ever done. And to be honest it was sort of daunting. A few months ago I bought some yeast, you know just in case the urge…

It’s been a while since I’ve posted about our whole “going organic” adventure. It’s been going very well, we’ve phased out most of the non organic things in our pantry, replacing them with more wholesome items which have ingredients that I can pronounce and understand.

Why An Organic Produce Co-Op While on this little adventure of going all organic (which has been shot to the moon over thanksgiving while eating at friends’ houses and entertaining guests at great restaurants here in Houston), I found a little organic produce co-op called Rawfully Organic Co-op. Bill and I are in love. Here’s…
