The following recipe uses almost all canned ingredients and it has helped me consume my daily veggies on many occasions. In addition to being adaptable to your favorite seasonings, it can be morphed into something different each day. Eat as is the first day. The second day, add mashed potatoes to some of the leftovers…
Unlike last summer when I was tent camping in Alaska, I have a kitchen, everything I need for easy living on the road (stove, oven, refrigerator, freezer, double sink). Sometimes access to fresh foods is a problem, especially if I stay for a week or more in a remote area. Also, I don’t want to…
Today I moved the van over to my RV space. Usually, it sits in the overflow parking because the car sits in my space. However, I needed to empty out the van and check for any water leakage. The van hs never really leaked but it had two feet of snow on top last week…
I am not going to lie. Being stuck inside for a week is tough! The problem is that this area is not used to snow and does not have plows to clear away the 2 feet of snow that fell from the sky as we all watched in amazement. We might get a few inches…
Somehow, an unfinished draft of my fish post was published on Christmas Day! I clicked on publish instead of save, but I didn’t notice until weeks later when I started working on the post again. Then and now, I really wanted to click delete. Nutritionists tell us to eat fish twice weekly, but the information I was…
I bought three new-to-me soup bases before the winter storm moved in. I decided to use the unsweetened coconut soup base for a new snow-day recipe. Coconut flavors suggest Thai food to me, and I developed a craving for my favorite, green curry. However, all I had was a jar of red curry. Red curry…
I lived in Wyoming for a nearly a decade and then spent 2 winters in North Dakota before I retired. I had my share of blizzards, wind storms, and minus 50 wind chills, so I feel empathy for those people in the current cold snap. Being outdoors in such extreme temperatures is interesting for a short…
Soybeans are complicated. At one time, they were simply a small bean that contained lots of protein and other nutrients. Farmers in Asia domesticated the bean in 1100 BC, and it contributed to their healthy diet (tofu, tempeh, etc). The U.S. is now a major producer of soybeans; in fact, it is the second largest crop behind…
For my friends who cannot stomach the thought of chicken sausage (delicious and flavorful), here is a more mainstream offering from my new collection of Save the Planet Recipes. It is really easy thanks to using a bottled Asian sauce. You can find several types (Sesame, Kung Pao, General Tsao’s, etc) right next to the soy…
I have been trying to figure what I can do to help stop global climate change, besides griping about it on my blog. So far, I have made a carbon budget for 2019, which will allow me to reduce my carbon footprint by 50%. It is not a huge challenge. To be honest, parts of…
