Travels in Turkey | April 12, 2012

Travels in Turkey

I’m always thinking of places I could travel that would offer new experiences. Turkey holidays have a lot to offer.

Another interesting spot would be the Sultan Ahmed Mosque. The mosque is large and filled with wondrous mosaics and colorful stained glass. Or, if you would like to spend … Read More »

Wednesday Soups and Stews: Creamy Cosmic Potato Leek Soup

When the wind’s blowing and the sleet’s hitting the windows, curl up with a bowl of this cozy, deliciously creamy soup, some sliced meats, and a green salad. It’s quick to make, especially if you use your hand-held blender and Easy Homemade Turkey Stock (recipe below) from your freezer. You’ll find crème fraiche in the dairy section of your supermarket; it’s much like sour cream, but won’t separate or curdle and the flavor is heavenly-smooth.

Easy Homemade Turkey or Chicken Stock:

Next time you roast a whole chicken or turkey, you’ll have a goldmine of minerals to add to your diet! Using … Read More »

Positive Changes

Every January I resolve to try to live better.  I try to make positive changes in my everyday choices that are healthier.  I try to eat better, exercise more, and make myself healthier.  This year I am trying to achieve this sensibly and not do anything too drastic.  (I did give up caffeine this year, which was pretty drastic!)  My goal this year, though, is to make small changes that are going to stick a little longer than a week. Changes I can live with.

I can change recipes a bit to be healthier so that my family can still enjoy … Read More »
