    I would like to receive these recipes. I’m always in a hurry to cook when I get home and have a gluten free daughter,therefore I make almost all meals from scratch.

    Good Morning Merissa,

    I am enjoying so much on your site, thank you!
    Is there any chance you might consider not using, or suggesting, so many plastic items? I know they are time-saves and $$ savers and it’s difficult to find non-plastic alternatives at reasonable prices. I’m just trying to be earth-friendly whenever I can.
    Thank you for a great site that I will continue to enjoy.
    Namaste, Alexandra

    Hello, I really have been enjoying your emails and blogs. My husband and I are planning on moving out of California. We are going to be headed to Texas to look at property in the month of July. We are wanting to live in the country grow around food and live a simple life. I am enjoying all the information you have in your blog.
