While I was pregnant and not paying any attention at all to our videos on YouTube, Mom became a celebrity. I have yet to find the traffic sources, but someone out there likes mom too. Check this out: Over 25,000 people have watched Mom describe how to make deviled eggs and, more importantly, how to…

Moroccan Liver Salad
In our resolve to consume more liver I have been on the hunt for varying ways to prepare it. The traditional liver and onions is fine now and then (check out Mom’s flash cooked liver). But if you will eat liver regularly, the old standby gets old pretty quickly. We like liver around here because…
Homemade tartar sauce (to go with that grilled salmon)
It’s easy and tasty. Mom says: My exposure to tartar sauce had always been in a restaurant. Ugh! I’m picky about mayonnaise and restaurant mayo is obnoxious. So when Jennifer made tartar sauce to go with her grilled salmon, I only took a bit to be polite. Wow! What a difference a good mayonnaise can…
Grilled Salmon a la Jennifer
Our friend Jennifer prepared this incredible (and simple) grilled salmon for us when she was part of the family a few years back. I can still remember that meal: it was bursting with scent and flavor. We have repeated it many times since. If you have a barbeque grill, this way of cooking salmon is…
More Mom videos: Cooking tips for busy people
At long last, the second generation of “mom cooking videos” are here. We got great encouragement after the string of videos last summer and fall that we bought a decent camera and then proceeded to act like we knew what we were doing with it (much like we pretended with the first). Of course, mom…
Freezing: An Easy Process to Preserve Food and Nutrients
Summer gardens are slowing down but many of us are still bombarded with summer peppers, squash, and tomatoes. The only reasonable thing to do with the bounty is to preserve them in some way. For the sake of nostalgia or simply to be able to say you’ve done it, you may be tempted to can…
Bell Pepper Stuffed with Egg Salad
Eggs are a great source of Omega 3 fatty acids. The egg from a hen freely eating weeds and bugs is most certainly a depression buster food because of the Omega 3 content. Boil them up, peel them, mash them, add some dressing and you’ll have the beginning of a great meal. The previous entry…
Deviled Eggs: Always a Winner and Nutritious to Boot (Boiling Tips Included)
This time of year is our peak egg consumption. Much of our egg eating is in the form of egg salad or deviled eggs, probably largely because those are both cold egg dishes and are appetizing on hot afternoons. As the weather begins to change, we will likely replace those dishes with quiche and frittata….
Using and Preserving Overgrown Zucchini (Plus Zucchini Cornbread)
In honor of the Eat Local Challenge this month and its focus on food preparation, here is a video by mom on what to do with the giant squash that got away from you in your garden. She has recipe ideas but also describes how to process it and freeze it. Below you’ll find a…
Roasted Sweet Italian Peppers: Using the Summer’s Bounty
We’ve had a pepper bonanza of late and this is one of our favorite ways to cook them. It’s easy to do and there are rarely any leftovers. Read on for the recipe, view the video by clicking on the “play button” in the image below, or go directly to YouTube to watch Roasted Peppers….
Oregano: How to Choose and Use
Oregano plants do very well in our landscape. They are drought resistant once they are established, they reseed fairly well, they are fragrant, and they put on nice flowers. The fragrances, flowers, and flavors vary with the plant variety. We recently harvested a lot of oregano from our yard to dry for use in cooking…

Life After Depression
There really is life after depression. I am so excited by that point, in fact, that I neglect this blog and find fun/quirky projects to do with my family. We live in the Sequoia National Forest in a house (and former brothel) designed by Irving Gill. My 7-year-old son Frederick and I chronicle our adventures at Gill on the Hill when we're not exploring. Frederick posts some of his homeschool projects at "Frankly Frederick."
