Wish I Could Cook

about me

I'm a farmer at heart trapped in the 9 to 5 world. If I didn't need the paycheck, I'd love to spend my time in a huge garden and preserve a lot of fresh food for the cold months of the year. I'm inspired by Barbara Kingsolver's book Animal, Vegetable, Miracle.

I avoid meat for environmental reasons. (It takes so many resources and inputs to feed cattle, hogs, etc. and the pollution risks of confinement operations are huge.)

I like the way this site is so searchable and the reviews really give me a good idea what to expect. I also have found new adventures in buying unusual produce and using the search feature to pick out a new recipe to try. I've found many winners!

Favorite Foods:

I'm not sure what it is about the recipe for Southwest Spaghetti Squash, but that is my favorite recipe. Simple, healthy and delicious!

Though I love anything rich and decadent — don't we all — I've found a few tricks to lighten things up and rarely does it hurt the flavor.
