My Aspirations

I want to prepare lots of healthy, homemade, fresh good food to share with family and friends. Use the best ingredients, tools and techniques. Teach my daughters how to cook and enjoy good healthy food. Simple seasonal foods, using food as medicine.

Create bitchen school lunches, yes, there's part of me that want to tame this tiger known as the bento box. We should be having dinners down at the beach, either as a picnic or using the fire pits. I want more ideas for snacks, especially snacks that travel well.

Celebrate the holidays and establish culinary traditions, incorporate seasonal local produce into these traditions. Soups, herbed broth, homemade chicken broth, spiced chocolate, marshmallows made from honey with no GMOs. I want to share gift baskets with these homemade goodies on holidays and birthdays.

Not to mention mixing up our own bath products and cleaning solutions. Learn about herbal remedies and grow herbs, learn about their qualities and how to use them.

Oh, and I want it to be effortless and completely pleasurable ... bordering on a spa-like experience.
