There is a lot out there in the forest that is safe to eat and delicious. Join me for the baby steps of foraging for food out there.

Got too many bananas to eat? Let’s use them all up, including that delicious peel! I share how to make banana bread muffins, eating banana peels, and what I did with the rest of two entire bunches.

This isn’t a fancy kitchen make-over. I’m sure the end result is where most make-overs start. This is about making my kitchen a place where I enjoy to cook, ferment, can, and all the other things I’m learning. While the world outside wakes up, I finally get to tackle this project.

Spring has been slow to come, so I took my time to get ready. I planted seedlings, started building a greenhouse, and spent time in the forest and at the beach.

Even after years of learning and teaching about the environment, I still live a life far from the ideal. I'm slowly learning to live in balance, to say no to the societal pressure of more, more more.
