When we were in California, our friend Arana G., shared one of her family’s favorites. I’m sure that she could have come up with a better name (she gave it to me without a name), so I got stuck on a bit of alliteration while trying to give it a name. We enjoyed it and […]
Swiss chard is one of the spring vegetables that grows in our garden. If you’re not familiar with Swiss chard’s habits, I’ll tell you a little about it. This time of year in the mountain west, the perennial Swiss chard is sleeping; but in the spring it will awaken again. It’s so clever, you don’t […]
About six years ago I made a major change in the way that I managed my weight. The change has proved to be the easiest weight management technique I’ve ever employed. What I did was to begin eating more. I’ll share what I do: when I’m in charge of the food, I really focus on […]

Once you add the technique to your repertoire, you will discover that the variations are almost endless – just like the flavors. When I originally started making frittatas it was to satisfy a desire to use more of our garden vegetables; […]
We at Dr. Grandma’s had a head start in satisfying the ‘sweet tooth’ before the American Heart Association goal of calories from sugar, honey, agave, high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), and other caloric sweeteners was set to under 100 calorie/day for women and 150 for men. We know that not only are we born with […]
We enjoyed this very flavorful recipe as a side dish served with salmon; but it’s certainly nourishing enough to be served as the main dish. Other greens can be substituted for the curly mustard greens or you can use a mixture of greens.
Green beans were often served for Easter meal in my ‘growing up’ home. The beans almost always were generously cooked with ham or bacon, added butter and quite a bit of added salt.
