I'm a hard-cooking Mom with a passion for real food and all things sustainable and local. I love playing in the dirt and have turned my front yard into a garden. It always amazes me when things grow. Baking crusty bread and eating mouth-watering tomatoes with basil straight from the garden -- now that's what I call living! Where's that water buffalo for the freshest mozzarella ?
