By Julie Garden-Robinson September 30, 2016

As I entered the grocery store parking lot with my 21-year-old son driving, I had a flashback of when he was young enough to ride in the child seat of a grocery chart. On that day 20 years ago, I had just purchased groceries for the week, and I parked the cart right outside the[...]

By Julie Garden-Robinson July 17, 2015

Mom, I want to learn to make cheese,” my 17-year-old daughter said. “Cheese?” I responded, wanting to be sure I heard her correctly. “I love cheese. I think it would be a good 4-H project,” she replied. She certainly knows how to get my attention and mentoring. I hadn’t made cheese since I taught basic[...]

Have you tried a new grain lately?

By Julie Garden-Robinson December 4, 2015

You are determined to like this food, aren’t you?” my husband remarked with a grin. I must have been “making a face” at my bowl of grits, which I had chosen for my second breakfast meal of the week. I regularly enjoy hot cereal such as oatmeal for breakfast, so why not try something new?[...]

Did you eat the potatoes I gave you?” I asked my son. He has been living in an apartment for a couple of months now. I had given him some large baking potatoes. I thought they would be the basis of an easy meal. Just scrub, poke a few holes and bake. I bought him[...]

"I am gaining weight just watching this show. These cooking shows must fuel the obesity issue,” my husband commented. We were walking on treadmills side by side at a gym. We had our TVs tuned to the same cooking show. He probably noticed me shaking my head as I watched the show. I tend to[...]

Want milk!” exclaimed the little voice in the early hours of morning. By the time he was a toddler, our son knew exactly what he wanted to quench his thirst.

By Julie Garden-Robinson June 17, 2016

The other day, I walked out the front door of my home and was dive-bombed by a robin. I felt her wings graze my head. I squealed and ran down the sidewalk. A person walking down the sidewalk looked at me with curiosity. My daughter had warned me that we had an “angry bird” in[...]
