Hi everyone,
Spring is here – Yea – Woot Woot and all the other cheers I can think from this gal who wants some warmer weather. Spring means that the trees will be donning their finery and look green and luscious again. The flowers will start to bloom, veggies will be coming soon from Crazy Daisy CSA and I can feel the warmth of sun cheer my soul.
I’ve been away from my blog because of some hand surgery, but am back in writing mode again. I also think the change of seasons helps with the change in writing attitudes.
Another thing I like about the spring and summer seasons is the emphasis on eating healthy. It just feels like the thing to do with the change of seasons. I would like to share a special resource for you to consider for those healthy summer meals.
One of my cooking/writing activities is the honor of being a volunteer Food Editor for Taste of Home, Healthy Cooking magazine. It provides me opportunities to be more creative in the kitchen and also to learn more about cooking healthy. The magazine is wonderful because it offers sound nutritional advice, great ideas for eating healthy, and many of the recipes come from the everyday kitchens of real people, like you and me. You don’t need a professional kitchen, top of the line appliances, or a culinary degree to make the majority of these meals – just the desire to eat healthy and enjoy the taste of good food.
I will shamelessly plug my Green Bean Medley recipe published in Dec/Jan 2010 issue, as well as in the Annual 2010 Recipe volume. The recipe came about as a result of our grandson’s love of green beans and was fun to create and eat and even more fun to see in print. There are so many wonderful recipes and ideas like my simple recipe to get you started enjoying eating the right way.
So do yourself a favor, visit the Healthy Cooking Taste of Home website and take a look at what they are offering… a healthy way to cook from real people with tested recipes. Be sure to pick up a copy of Healthy Cooking Taste of Home from the magazine rack and try a few recipes. I bet you will be convinced it was a great choice.
Take care,
Judy
