Cooking: more than food, add spirit and love

Explore the world in your own backyard

Explore the world in your own backyard


I was thinking about my blog after completing an arduous search for a particular photo. The details of blogging. You can see how I discovered a Disney Film: Buffalo Dreams on youtube.com on my sister blog: www.lifetipsdaily.com I often tell tips though stories. So I went back to watch some more from Buffalo dreams. You place a film in New Mexico, add Native Americans, and a bonus of buffalo and I’m hooked. Read the short version on marysphotos.wordpress.com . You will find recipes too.

In part three of Buffalo Dreams, the Disney movie, there is a potluck.
This video demonstrates the sometimes overlooked spirituality inherent in cooking. It also celebrates culture. You don’t have to live in New Mexico to explore great southwest food. Or to explore the fine art of Italian food. The techniques are merely means for production. The heart and love you bring to all you eat, especially all you cook creates the ingredients of peace, fellowship, and nourishment. Ala: today’s potluck.

Great for the classroom eh? Ever need a lesson plan for a class, or to make a plan more dynamic? Go to Youtube.

I hope you enjoy these ideas, recipes, and lessons. Life is full and rich. Food brings us joy so easily. Our appetites never cease for new experiences. Even without spending lots of money on beautiful and appetizing cookbooks, you can find recipes from friends, newspapers, online, and truly expand the oportunity to enrich everyday living right in your backyard. PS long ago I was invited to cape cod for a social. The stories of this tribe are worth researching.

If you have storeis or recipes that you would like to contribute conatct me here.

Paula Dean’s Healthy Pork Tenderloin?

Sunday, February 17th, 2008

pork tenderloin with creamy polenta and green beansMost meals I try to make relatively healthy, especially compared to some of the recipes on Food Network shows like Barefoot Contessa and Paula’s Home Cooking. However, my lady Paula can make something lowfat when she tries. Her grilled pork tenderloin with soy sauce and green onions has saved me in that “What am I going to make for dinner?” panic more than once. It’s easy and contains items I usually have on hand. ( I try to always keep a pork tenderloin in the freezer because it’s so versatile.)

This particular time, (more…)
