Every Saturday morning, I visit a different Farmers' Market in Indiana. I love shopping at them. And apparently so do lots of Americans. Since 1994, farmers' markets have more than doubled to nearly 4,000 markets nationwide. There are lots of reasons to visit them and enjoy the abundance of just-picked fruits and vegetables, freshly laid eggs, local honey, unusual jams and jellies, "like Grandma used to make" baked goods, artisan cheeses, and grass fed meats.

What do you like to quench your thirst with in the summer? During a hot day of outdoor fun, lots of people love to grab an ice cold glass of soda. Some of us even like to wake up with a morning glass of cola instead of the more common coffee or tea. My husband can't start his day without some of his favorite brand of diet cola.

Here in Pennsylvania Dutch country it's a strong age-old tradition to eat pork and sauerkraut at New Year's. Whether consumed on the eve or the exact day, it's said to be the trick to ensuring that it's a year filled with wealth and health. And we could all use a li'l bit of that right now, eh? When you're low on time, tossing a pork roast and some kraut into the slow cooker is one of the easiest meals of all time. And if you're like me, easy meals are what keep me going throughout the week. After all, I'd like to eat good home cooking every day, but sometimes the...

I recently had the pleasure of rereading a book that my son and I discovered many years ago - it's one of those memorable stories that can bring a smile and chuckle for days afterwards. Have you read Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs yet? Author Judi Barrett and illustrator Ron Barrett obviously know what children (and adults) love, by combining the ordinary with the imaginary. This story begins at bedtime with Grandpa weaving a tall-tale of the town of Chewandswallow, where all the town's food comes from the sky. There certainly is nothing like hot dogs falling and...

Another fun holiday is almost upon us; it's time to break out a bit o' the green for St Patrick's Day. One of the many things I love about being a parent is that I get an excuse to go all out for each and every holiday. My day is made a bit brighter anytime I have a reason to make pancakes in fun shapes (think four-leaf clovers) and a suitably colored milkshake or smoothie. Now St Paddy's Day is one of those holidays that in different phases of my life has meant different things. Not too long ago, it meant toasting with Irish stout beer with a bunch of friends, and possibly attending...

Everyone knows that St Patrick's Day falls in mid March. It's a great day to shake off the winter blahs by wearing some green and eating plenty of Irish goodies. But there is also another holiday this week, revolving around a very important number. Mathematicians will know that today, 3/14 is Pi Day. This number, which is so crucial to math and science applications, is celebrated in math classes and by math aficionados all around the world. While it is not to be confused with National Pie Day, which falls on January 23, you can still celebrate by baking a mouth-watering...

Y'all faithful readers of Bachelor Chow may have noticed I have been on hiatus. Alas, I had the "stomach flu," which then got worse: once the norovirus was done with my GI, it decided to migrate north and attack my heart, just in time for Valentine's Day! This unfortunate circumstance led to lots of pain and a week-long "vacation" in the hospital. I was treated for "pericarditis," or an inflammation of the sac surrounding the heart. During this two week ordeal I was cheered by friends and loved-ones; you learn real quick when you're in the hospital how much folks...

According to certain members of Congress, global warming does not exist. At the moment, with Colorado residents dealing with their third major snowstorm in the last month, I have a feeling that many in that state might agree. But then you have Californians who are looking forward to 70 degree weekends and golfers in Chicago who are hitting the links in January. Many would probably agree that global warming is upon us. The problem for the everyday person not fighting it out on Capitol Hill lies in how to deal with the psychological implications of the global warming...
