{FSC SWAPPERS} A Place for Healing
Food is social. Food connects people, strangers, friends, co-workers and family. Everyone eats. Food Swaps are a vehicle to bring all that is food and community into one place.

{WNIMKW} Spoon Butta’
Since Christine lobbied & successfully resurrected our ‘What’s New In My Kitchen Wednesdays‘ I’ve known what my next WNIMKW post would be: Spoon Butta’.

{reflections} Making Food Matter
I’m going to make a few, quick assumptions about you: 1.) You love food. 2.) You either love preparing it or you enjoy the company of others who will prepare it for you. 3.) You probably spend a decent amount of time thinking about food and/or food politics. Am I right? Chances are you wouldn’t…
