So, I starting reading a lot of books about food. Here is a list of my favorite food books:
What to Eat and Politics: How the Food Industry Influences Nutrition, and Health by [...]

Apple Crumble

I love fall and fall recipes. I have so many recipes that I only make this time of year.
This is one of my favorite apple recipes. It’s similar to apple crisp, but the topping is more like a cookie topping instead of an oatmeal topping. It’s not the healthiest recipe (but it is so yummy), [...]

Fall, Leaves, Fall
by Emily Jane Brontë
Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;
Lengthen night and shorten day;
Every leaf speaks bliss to me
Fluttering from the autumn tree.
I shall smile when wreaths of snow
Blossom where the rose should grow;
I shall sing when night’s decay
Ushers in a drearier day

I do a lot of my grocery shopping at Whole Foods and I’m always looking for ways to reduce our grocery bill without sacrificing quality.
Last time I was at Whole Foods, the nice guy who bagged my groceries put the store’s flyer, “The Whole Deal,” in my bag.
I had never seen the flyer at the store [...]

Growing up in Northeast Ohio, fall meant Mapleside Farms and their apple cider. I remember going there with my mom, dad, and sister when I was younger, and now I’m taking my little girl there. I’m excited to pass this tradition onto my daughter.
Mapleside is an apple orchard in Brunswick. In the fall, they sell about [...]

Even though my daughter is too young for school, I have lot of experience in the classroom - as a student and a teacher.
Parents play a huge role in their children’s education. I believe, that parents should be involved in their children’s education and be their child’s advocate, especially when the children are young.
I also think that parents need [...]

Hurricane force winds in Ohio. Who would have thought? They were not fun, and neither was the mess they left behind. I can’t even image what the people in the South are going through.
My power just came on last night, which was long enough to get me a day off of work, but also long [...]
