Strawberry Wine is known as one of the most exquisite tasting wine but its not a general knowledge that you can actually make one at home. Its not a simple process but some advanced planning will surely help ease the task. Advanced planning is needed if you will serve the strawberry wine for a specific occasion, because wine takes time to age as long as one full year to taste really good.

Soup in the summertime? Sure, if it's a chilled cucumber soup. This is easy to prepare, and healthy to boot!

Spring is upon us, and the redwood forest around my home has come to life. A friend told me recently that the lush clover-like ground cover that’s been popping up all spring in my yard is actually edible!

Cinco de Mayo may be over, but you can keep the fiesta going with these awesome, low-fat veggie tacos.

No matter what the weather, my family eats soup. I find soup to be an easy way to get my children to eat their veggies. This potato leek soup is a favorite of my kids, and a great way to use up leeks from the garden.

For years, my friend would bring these delicious butterscotch bars topped with chocolate to parties, and she finally relinquished the recipe to me. This dessert is super easy to make and tastes great with organic ingredients.

Beans and rice are the staples of a vegetarian diet. This recipe is a kid pleaser, and super simple and quick if you use canned beans. Don’t forget to use Eden Foods canned beans to avoid BPA leaching, and of course, always use organic ingredients.

My six-year-old daughter loves oven roasted Jerusalem artichokes, and that’s a good thing, since they have taken over our garden. I call Jerusalem artichokes our survival food, as they grow so easily, spread like wildfire, and are ready for eating throughout the winter and early spring.  Sure, they are a pain to clean, but that is a small price to pay for a homegrown meal in the winter.  My family will never starve, as we always have Jerusalem artichokes.

Tips on buying food locally and in season, along with a great seasonal recipe.

An easy, home made recipe for a natural cough syrup made from honey, sage, garlic and thyme. Some of nature's most potent healers!
