Emergency Preparedness

This is a great little blog to start learning about food storage and emergency preparedness. With all the wild fires and evacuations in the west and flooding and hurricanes in the east. People having to leave their home or life with no power for days... I think its important to have at least a 72 hour food and safety kit stored in your home or car. I found this great little blog to get you started.

Foodie Friday Pistachio Pesto and Roasted Golden Pear Tomatoes

My garden is abundant right now... Giving me her bounty, so much so, that's it hard to keep up sometimes with as much traveling I have been doing this summer. I needed to dead-head the basil because it was starting to bolt and I gathered up a bowlful of golden Pear tomatoes before I left for my Alaska trip.
