I’ve been reading about the amount of shopping people have done during the pandemic. It was internet shopping of course but it appears to have increased astronomically. I did not do my share….. Although I did spend a lot of time on the few things that I actually bought. My most important purchase was a new down comforter for our bed. When the weather turned colder this fall I switched … Continue reading →

Easy Tips to Lighten Up Any Recipe

Thyme for Cooking Posted on August 1, 2020 by KateAugust 1, 2020

I’ve been reading comments and complaints about lock-down weight gain. It hasn’t been a concern for us because life continued on pretty normally chez nous.

Because we are ‘retired’ (quotes because we both work…. … Continue reading →

Natural Digestive Aids

Thyme for Cooking Posted on January 25, 2020 by KateJanuary 25, 2020

My mother always told us to eat ‘roughage’ . Is that word even used anymore? She wouldn’t have used the word ‘fiber’….. A fiber was something in fabric, not something one ate. She never really explained what roughage was – except when she occasionally ate shredded wheat for breakfast. The rest of us wouldn’t touch it…. Even after she explained the health benefits. I was happy with my daily apple … Continue reading →

But in case you're curious about which are the healthiest… It all comes down to color: the darker the green or red, the more nutrients in the leaf.

Spinach, Feta and Shallot Salad plus more Spinach recipes

Thyme for Cooking Posted on February 27, 2011 by KateOctober 3, 2017

Spring is almost here. Those of you enjoying late winter snow storms may not believe it, but, really, it’s coming. With spring comes salads. Because I don’t buy produce that’s not in season, the only salads we have in winter are made with Savoy Cabbage and / or Endive.

Calcium: skip the pills, get it through your food

Thyme for Cooking Posted on November 14, 2010 by KateJune 9, 2013

How do you get your calcium? At my last annual exam my doctor asked if I ate cheese and yogurt every day. Well, she didn't exactly ask… She said: "You DO eat cheese and yogurt every day, don't you?" For those of you who have never been to France – both items play an important role in the French diet.  The day often starts with plain yogurt, it being the … Continue reading →
