10 Reasons to Grow a Vegetable Garden
Do you ever wonder whether growing your own food is worth the time and effort? Here are some benefits to growing your own organic food for you, your family, and the environment.
There was a time when I didn’t give much thought about the foods we buy in the grocery stores. That changed when food recalls became more frequently reported in the news. One food recall in particular caught my attention because the local news reported E. coli contamination of spinach that was sold at my grocery store. It was the fall of 2006, and
eventually affected 26 states stretching from Wyoming to Maine.
The first question that came to mind was, “Why was my grocery store selling spinach from California when it grows quite well here in New England?” Even though I was likely to purchase produce in season, I just didn’t realize that most of it was shipped three thousand miles across the country. Call me naive, but I believed that all food was grown locally, and brand names had regional plants across the country that packaged the foods to sell in our grocery stores.
This was an eye-opening experience for me. I wondered what else didn’t I didn’t know!

Since ‘food’ is on the thread this morning (love it), I want to share a recipe website I found the other day:

The chef/cook is Australian so some terms are different, for example: ‘mince’ = ground beef.
If for no other reason to take a look, the food pictures are wonderful. There are a lot of ‘Asian’ recipes; however, I have made her baked spaghetti (really good!) and she has a Chili Con Carne recipe to try soon, plus a lot of other recipes that look good to me, some Asian, some not.
