Local, homegrown fruit could just possibly be my most favorite thing in the entire world. I have been trying for years to add more fruit to my garden space. I’ve had some successes and some colossal failures. But I refuse to give up. 1. Cantaloupes I have had tremendous success with growing cantaloupes. The sweetest, […]

(I didn’t compost the salad, because it had feta cheese mixed in) We certainly eat leftovers, but by the end of last week, […]

Happy Earth Day 2011! I remember my first Earth Day celebration. It was back in 1989 and I was a college sophomore. My Biology II class went on a field trip to Pittsburgh’s Earth Day celebration. It was in downtown Pittsburgh at a park where the three rivers meet, if I remember correctly. There weren’t […]

Have you ever wondered how to start and maintain a backyard compost? My composting adventures all started years ago when our local Penn State Cooperative Extension office offered a free composting bin (the round one in the picture) when you attended their free composting seminar.

Easter is four days away and I can smell my mom’s baked ham now. Divine. The 2-3 weeks leading up to most holidays is a great time to stock up on seasonal food, especially meat. In my sales circulars this week, prices for hams range from 79 cents a pound to $2.49/pound, depending on the […]

My kids love baby carrots with dressing as a snack, so I buy them often when they are on sale. I had forgotten about a bag and a half in the fridge and when I found them, they were dried out and just not that appetizing for any of us. The thought of throwing away […]

Kiwis were on sale for 5/$1 this week. I don’t think I have ever bought a kiwi. Although, I’m not sure why. When I brought them home, I decided that there must be an easier way to peel them than what I did with the first one. In my google search I found this video […]
