Hildy says, Lovin from the oven! #1

Caring for your family is the most important job you will ever have.Clean, nutritious food prepared at home, natural health aids that are good for body and soul, less drugs, chemicals and antibiotics, are just some of the ways to keep your family healthy and out of the ER. Home should be an inviting, loving, safe, comfortable, place to relax, and recharge your battery.A live, love, laugh and be happy kind of place. “Nothin’ says lovin’ like somethin’ from the oven,” (or crockpot) is true. Warming a pizza from the frozen food section of the supermarket does not qualify for “home cooking.”

Old fashioned?Maybe, but old fashioned is the new new fashion.So, come with me and explore some of the old new ways, natural remedies, and products that will help you and your family feel better, and save money. I’ll give you a healthy recipe now and then, some tips, ideas, we’ll even share a laugh or two.Be careful, I may give you some of my 84 year old sage advice.Of course, you don’t have to take it but my advice would be you should!

Our garden gave us a bounty of zucchini and eggplant this year. That’s not easy in our area because we raise our organic veggies in rock, decomposed granite.“They say,” when you have lemons, make lemonade. I say, when you have zucchini and eggplant, make Italian. Keep reading it gets better, because I have included a recipe using either eggplant or zucchini.You can make it, freeze it for later, or serve it now. If you work outside the home, put it together on Saturday or after church on Sunday, bake it for a meal later in the week. Add the boiling water when you are ready to bake it.

Stay tuned, you wont want to miss this delicious Zucchini or Eggplant Tomato Gratin recipe. To be continued.
