Eat Well to Live Well
The summer is over & so are the excuses. In the Green home we eat well to live well but this summer we fell off the wagon – some harder than others. There was so much junk food to be…
Vegetarian Zucchini Boats
I recently cooked for several girlfriends on a birthday trip and, as usual, I bought way too much food. One of the items I made was steak & veggie kabobs. They were a hit, but I had several squashes &…
