Great places to visit, excellent restaurants, casual eating places, walking for fun, interest, and entertainment, and where to find the best cheesesteak sandwiches are things visitors expect when in Philadelphia. It’s easy to collect to-do things because this city gets better every year. And more people know this because more people are coming as tourists, [...]
I HOPE THANKSGIVING DAY WAS EXACTLY AS YOU ALL WANTED IT TO BE.
While recovering from a recent hospital experience, I sat one morning with a simple breakfast of Knudsen’s Concord Grape juice diluted with water; scrumptious Wheat Sandwich bread from Metropolitan Bakery in Philadelphia, toasted to perfection and spread with butter and bionatura Organic [...]
You are a warrior… Stay strong, rest up and we love you…

I don’t know why it took so long for me to find Mark Bittman’s excellent cookbooks and website, but it did. Now that I’ve found him, I’m not letting go. He knows how important spices and herbs are. He cooks traditionally, or not, with meats, or not; it’s hard to go wrong with his recipes. [...]
Today is the 6th day of The Master Cleanser by Stanley Burroughs for me. I am not going to say that it has been exactly easy. I will just say it is entirely doable, and as the days go by it gets easier. Food thoughts come and go, and everyone handles them differently. When thoughts [...]

The once-upon-a-time big pancake had few ingredients; still it seemed to scream “I’m delicious. I’m delicious.” as it was taken out of the oven. It was. And I remember the smiles [...]
This was on aol’s site, July 2008: The Environmental Working Group doesn’t necessarily advocate organic, but does suggest that consumers be aware of the following non-organic foods having the highest pesticide levels. They are: peaches, celery, nectarines, strawberries, cherries, peas, imported grapes, spinach, lettuce, and potatoes.
Often when I prepare Chinese Pie I think of my mother, and I smile because she left me with an incredibly simple way of preparing a meal many people have enjoyed for as long as I’ve been serving it. When people first hear the name, they question it to the point where conversation about it [...]
Do you know that taking a few tablespoons of 100% extra virgin, no GMOs, unrefined coconut oil everyday is a very good thing to do? That there are many benefits in doing this? I found it very easy to like coconut oil the year I ate totally raw foods. However, having since gotten away from [...]
