Jungle Theme Birthday Party

Jungle theme for a birthday party is perfect for the little ones, since so many children books about different animals are so colorfully illustrated.

Today I will post lots of pictures for your enjoyment and party ideas you may use for your party planning.

Spring Flowers From Cracow

My sister and I share the love of gardening, so we often exchange pictures of our success, or cry over our failures.   

I have to deal with Japanese Beetles, and her worse garden enemy is a pesky Vole. 

Anyway, today we will be enjoying the beauty of her spring flowers. 

It looks like Spring in Cracow is kinder to her flowers, than ours is to mine…:-)

St. Patrick’s Day – Party Foods

Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all who are celebrating this very traditional holiday here in the US.
If you are still searching for party food ideas, I will contribute with links to my previous posts of “green” food recipes for this occasion.

Fish Consumption – Good or Bad for You?

We always have been told that eating fish is good for our system, especially due to the Omega-3-Fatty-Acids it contains.

Actually, there is a lot of truth to that, since fish is a low-fat, high protein food.

However, we have to be well-informed shoppers, in order to actually select the fish which is healthy for our consumption.

While shopping for fish, or enjoying it in a restaurant, we should not only pay attention to the type of fish we are selecting, and the price range, but also its origin:

Wild caught, or Farm-Raised/Farm-Bred
Imported, or from USA

Sauerkraut Filled Varenyky – Suburbangrandma Recipe

Sauerkraut is basically pickled cabbage.  You either like it or hate it…I happen to love using sauerkraut in cooking and baking.

Not all sauerkraut tastes the same, so if you are not a big fan of it, maybe you should try different dishes prepared with this vegetable.

For this recipe I used really tasty sauerkraut….Bavarian style sauerkraut, which I purchased at Shop Rite, my local grocery.

It is so tasty, I can eat it just the way it is…right out of the jar…..has a slightly sweet taste..I highly recommend it.
