Back by seasonal demand!! Tulips from our beautiful valley have finally arrived and so have the tourists! I hope they spend spend spend.  But according a local pub owner and store front owner business is very slow.  We need a big gig here something bigger than the flowers to boost our local economy.  We need to get smart and bring in more tourist attractions.  The healthiest,greenest and cleanest state in the union... ok minus the sun!  But we have other stuff too.  Almost all these pics in the video were taken 4/29/11 the date is wrong on the video.   Enjoy the show!

The Wedding

February,  brought Issac and Celeste into our life.  Issac and Celeste came here to check out the American music scene and they ended up in a small town.  In their journey they met people and experienced life in America.  They decided that after 8 years together, the time was right to tie- the-knot under the SUPERMOON March 19th 2011.   They asked me to give the blessings and my son to give the legal vows. The bride researched and wrote out everything she wanted.  It was a very sweet New Age Celtic ceremony.  They are a sweet couple and we wish them all the best in their new life. May the positive vibrations of the universe be with them. 

May the light of friendship guide your paths together,  May the laughter of children grace the

halls of your home.  May the joy of living for one another trip a smile from your lips,

              a twinkle from your eye.

TATA Salad and meal!

Simple and healthy meal!

I used a wonderful fresh salad mix which I picked up at our fantastic Food Co-op. I washed and cleaned my mix. I cut up beautiful bell peppers with great colors. I added half inch pieces of green onions to the salad. I then added a lite olive oil with a pinch of salt and an orange zest for flavor.
I marinated a turkey patty about 30 minutes in a Masala mixture and then cooked in olive oil. The aroma was mouth watering. Just a reminder never over heat the olive oil. I added a lite chutney to top it off.
I added a half cup of Biryani made with Basmati rice. The Biryani was made the night before. As a substitution you could use a simple pilaf.
Well, I hope you all enjoy and try this recipe.

We are all trying to eat healthy. Many are on a tight budget. But healthy eating needs to be first. Healthy eating prevents many ailments. If you live in the Northern part of the country, you know that we are lucky to find the sun. We tend to go for the comfort foods. Such as fried chicken, home made mac-n-cheese, and mashed potatoes. I love those great foods. My mama can make the best home made Mac! Not that cheap box stuff. And my auntie in Illinois can fry up the meanest fried chicken!

So, do your body good and fill it with nutrient color rich foods and remember portion control.

Bon appetit!!
