Bring on the Tomatoes
I love gardening, but my garden has been one big FAIL this year. I have to say in all the years that I have gardened this one was the worst. I even broke down at one point and put Miracle Grow on. I know, now it’s not organic, but I was getting desperate. Don’t worry [...]

Noho’s Restaurant Coupon with Groupon
You know me the foodie, that can’t get enough of the Portland food. The other day I said to my husband “I am craving Noho’s“ and what do you know, today’s Groupon is for Noho’s. This is a great Hawaiian Cafe that serves not only great food, but serves it in very large portions. All [...]
Grilled Corn Salad
Last week corn was 20¢ each at Freddy Meyer so I loaded up so I could make this salad. I have my own basil, so this side dish costs very little. I always make extra so I have it for more meals. I don’t really use a recipe, I just kind of wing it, but [...]

Take time to read some of the comments as they were full of good information. About 3 years ago I took out almost all Partially Hydrogenated [...]
Processing Food, Inc
We finally watched the movie Food, Inc. Truth is I have wanted to watch it for quite some time, but put it off because I knew I would have to rethink a lot of things. Today I am your typical American. I live in the suburbs, where the houses are close and raising your own [...]

Check out this beauty I just found with vanilla sugar. Today I made Grilled Veggie Sandwiches with Marinated Mozzarella and some with Goat [...]
Beer ‘n’ Burgers a Blast
When the sun is shining in Portland, there is no place I would rather be. Yesterday was no exception. You have to see what was happening in my city yesterday. A few weeks back I had mentioned this great event going on. The best part was if you prepaid it was $15 each or $20 [...]
I Love Beer ‘n’ Burgers in Portland
I have been on my heavy duty pain meds for 2 weeks now. I have been on pain meds for a year, but I see that all coming to an end real soon. The biggest bummer right now is that I can’t drink beer, well I shouldn’t drink beer so I don’t. Don’t judge me, [...]
10 Ways to Keep From Getting Suckered into a Good Deal
When we were super poor I used to walk the aisles of Target looking for clearance items. I could get new things for a fraction of the price for my family. It really was the only way I could afford to shop and I honestly didn’t mind it. Even in those times and even when [...]
