BECKONING CREATIVITY

Terri Crosby — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 13:32:21 +0000

Ever find yourself yearning for a shot of creativity when you need most it, not when it needs you? Oh, wherefore art thou my pen, my brush, my song of songs? C”mon creativity, where did you go? Where is the “on demand” feature? And, despite the pleading and the begging, your creativity is apparently off [...]

A Poem For Those Who Were Not Exactly Enamored with School

Terri Crosby — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 22:47:06 +0000

This is a poem for those of you who could not stomach school growing up. This is for those who waited patiently for the teacher to stop talking, the bell to ring, the day to be over. This is for those who got tummy aches so they wouldn’t be shuffled to the dreaded school bus, [...]

Mary Oliver Is A Wise Woman

Terri Crosby — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 22:16:56 +0000

After pouring over words from Mary Oliver – any of her words, take your pick on any page of any of her books — there is really nothing else to say. You just close the book and sit in silence. So I’ll mention where this Mary Oliver quote comes from and then turn the rest [...]

Kidney Cleanse Recipe

Terri Crosby — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 16:04:30 +0000

I’m aging myself for sure by starting to write about physical issues, cleanses for the body, and so on. When I was younger, none of this concerned me and it never crossed my mind that scheduling regular maintenance for my “vehicle” was a good and useful thing in the long run. Not really. When we’re [...]

Raw Beet Summer Salad

Raw beets, huh? Those messy red root vegetables don’t really ring your chimes? Well, read on. I’m here to convince you to eat them, and eat them raw. Come on into the world of really red food. It’s beautiful in here. Granted, my motivation for eating raw beets came from a place of “needing to [...]

Summer Greek Salad with Shrimp and Marigolds

Terri Crosby — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 22:02:30 +0000

It sounds slightly wacko, this idea of eating flowers. Not just flowers, but marigolds, of all things. But I am a farm girl, and I figured that since chickens eat marigolds (did you know that?),and we eat eggs, then marigolds must be good for us! Actually, marigolds are better than good… more on that in [...]

Herbed Tomatoes Au Gratin

Terri Crosby — Sun, 17 Apr 2011 14:43:19 +0000

Do you spend much (or enough) time alone? Do you make sure you have that delicious do-whatever-you-want time, with no one around to pull your attention anywhere in particular? The day I began writing this entry was a heavenly day of freedom, not that I don’t like humans, just that I enjoy solitude whenever possible [...]

Penne With Color

Terri Crosby — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 17:41:47 +0000

Americans eat quite a bit of food without color. There is beige food everywhere. White or light bread, pasta with cheese, iceberg lettuce, and french fries. It’s comfort food. (Well, not the iceberg lettuce exactly…. ) If you’re looking for small steps in a brighter direction, you’ve come to the right place. Here’s an easy [...]

Honey-Caramel Ice Cream with Apples

Terri Crosby — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 21:26:06 +0000

Honey-Caramel Ice Cream with Apples I made this recipe and took it to a friend’s for dinner. The short story? It was a big hit. If you can imagine guests standing around the kitchen, asking for a chance just to smell the pan the sauce was in, you get a sense of the scene. And [...]
