In the News and at Local Events!

We were featured in the Chicago Tribune on Wednesday, August 24th, in the Good Eating Section. We are listed under the Healthy/Vegetarian section.

Also in Mindful Metropolis Click here for article. Thanks again to all my friends for spreading the word.

Cantigny Green Festival - This event was a great success this year. Luckily the rain stayed away and we had a great turnout. I offered samples of my Delicious Dill Pickles, Bread and Butter Pickles, Zucchini & Onion Relish, Peach Preserves, Wild Elderberry Grape Jelly, Honey Butter, Ghee and English Muffin Bread. We sold out of almost everything! I usually don't sell my items and prefer to have people come to the classes and learn to make all this wonderful food themselves.

Classes are now offered at three locations:
