Sauteed Mushrooms
One thing I really miss from the days before I was diagnosed with Celiac - besides bread - is mushroom tarts. One of my fondest memories from when I was a child is making mushroom tarts with my mom for family gatherings. Growing up, it seemed we had family over for birthdays, weddings and holidays every other week. So plenty of time was spent in the kitchen making cookies, pies, tortierre and my favourite - Mushroom Tarts.

Cakey, EASY, Peach Cobbler
Who hates having to scroll through 10 paragraphs of inspirational garbage before finally being able to find the actual dang recipe buried somewhere at the end? Yeah, me too. That actually ranks among the top, if not at the tip top, on my list of random annoyances. I don’t care about what this recipe makes you think about or how it makes you feel. All I’m here for is the main point! So why am I leading with what I despise?

Thinking about buying a BBQ smoker this summer?
You can always make delicious smoked meats on an all-purpose grill. However, if you want to get the most fantastic, smoky flavors out of your turkey, ribs, salmon, pork, and different cuts of beef like ribs, roast, or steak, a smoker is one to get.

11 Best Plants to Start Growing Your Own Food
Currently, I reside in a small home with a small back yard in the middle of town. I fortunately have a decent sized back yard for living in such an urban setting, however it is still not quite enough to reach my homesteading dreams or my goal to grow all my own produce to feed my whole family. About 3 years ago, I decided that I would find a way to still be able to grow a good portion of my own food and that I would learn how to do so in a small space and share that information with others who are wishing to do the same and, like me, are still stuck in the urban setting- dreaming about an off-grid 20 plus acre farm of their own someday. There are so many things you can do to begin growing your own food even if you live in an apartment or rent a room in someone's home. In this article, I am going to lay out for you what in my opinion are the 11 best starter plants when you begin to grow your own food. I chose these because they are all prolific producers that will not only encourage you to grow your own food more but they will also help lighten your grocery bill. All have also done well in pots for me as well as in the ground which is why I chose them. Among the many hard lessons 2020 taught us, learning that we cannot rely on the grocery stores always being stocked have brought many people to the gardening world. More people than ever now are interested in growing their own food! It is so exciting to see so many people interested in it like never before. These 11 plants that I will list will definitely be a great start even if you choose to only do a couple of them. If you have space to do more, but don't like one of the ones listed, you could always consider growing it and trading it with someone who may be growing something you do like, or bringing it to a food pantry to help a family in need. I will also be doing a separate article for each of these giving some tips and advice that I have found along the way that really helped me to grow and harvest even more from each variety. I will also explain how to grow each in small containers as well, that has worked for me in the past. I also still highly encourage that you also continue your research for tips because there are many highly talented gardeners out there with much more experience and tips than me.

Svadhisthana
Inspired by a true chef, my uncle Peter Stampfer. The warmth and calmness that surrounded me as I laid adrift that day is a memory and a sensation that I will never forget. It was a day when my life completely altered, it pivoted perfectly, in 180 degrees. Unconscious, yet aware, I found myself floating upon the river, fully knowing that I was, but at the same time, distant. As if I saw myself there from afar, from some distant region of space. I was me, but outside of myself at the same moment, feeling the water cradle me, carry me, and I gazed upon my body while it drifted away. While the awareness of my stilled body felt current emotion, simultaneously the self who gazed, admired with unknown emotion, with hesitation, and wonder. It was as if I was unfamiliar with myself, uncertain of exactly who laid there. Though as I gazed, I remember specifically thinking how sad I felt for myself. I saw myself, truly in that instance, within that state, and wondered why the motionless self felt fear. I was a fearful person, always have been, but when I saw myself, I felt the instance of who I was. I was foreign, because I did not feel the fear at that instant. It was nonexistent. I caught a glimpse of who I truly was that day, as I stood outside of myself, and before I opened my eyes, I knew who I needed to become. I needed to be fearless.
