Win a copy of Food to Live By

[I've moved to http://milkandhoneymommy.com/. Please visit me there!]




I've got a secret and I want to share...Cooking has become an enjoyment (I won't say passion, yet) and I love cookbooks and pretty pictures of food. They inspire me to cook and as a result, my family has been eating more healthy for several years. We have tried many a meal based on a picture I saw. Reading a recipe title doesn't always work for me. Now that I think about it, I don't try a recipe unless there is a picture attached. I also don't make anything unless I have a recipe because I need to know exact measurements of ingredients. One day, I hope to be skilled enough to grab a spice container in each hand and shake away with no recipe reference at all. Until then, I'll to have to use good cookbooks with pretty pictures and recipes that “look” delicious.

Myra Goodman inspires me to cook. When reading through Food to Live By, you too may get inspired. Myra and her husband are the owners of Earthbound Farm, the “world’s largest grower of organic produce.” You may have even purchased their organic salads, fruits, and vegetables from your local grocery store or been treated to them at your favorite green or vegetarian restaurant. Reading their story may even send you running outside, rake in hand, organic seeds in the other ready to start planting your own organic vegetable garden.

I would like to give one lucky winner the opportunity to be inspired and cook Food to Live By and also be inspired to cook.

Win a Subcription to Cottage Living

[I've moved to www.littlegreensecrets.com. Please visit me there!]


I've got a secret and I want to share...Whenever I have a “mindless moment” where I just want to sit down, relax, and look at pretty pictures, I crack open the latest issue of Cottage Living magazine. I have a lot of these moments and it, unfortunately, takes me more than one month to read through one issue. This is exactly the reason why I decided to not renew my subscription. I never could find the time to cater to my "mindless moments" and instead starting building a pile of unread magazines. I know, I know, not too eco-friendly and a great example of unnecessary consumption. Well, I went grocery shopping the other day and got sidetracked at the check-out stand by one of the more child-friendly magazines, the latest issue of Cottage Living. The pictures do it every time. A great picture can make me travel somewhere I’ve never been, eat something I know I won’t like, and slave for hours in the kitchen preparing a recipe with several ingredients that I swore I would never try. Why does this happen? I don’t know, but I did buy the latest issue and YES, I’m going to subscribe again.

Cottage Living promotes simple living (pretty green), some decorating indulgences, green tips, and provides an enjoying way to spend ten (10)…15 minutes of "mindless moment" time during a busy day. If you’re lucky, you may even get to sit and read from cover to cover. I would like to give one lucky winner a chance at that opportunity. Little Green Secret’s secret revealed is Cottage Living magazine (if you haven’t figured it out yet).
