Let’s use the spirit of Halloween to Help Us Be More Human All Year ‘Round 

Mom celebrating the Halloween spirit Halloween is a season of fun, costumes , and candy . Indeed, it has become a favorite of mine. The kids get excited about their costumes, and spending the evening visiting neighbors and receiving candy in response to their declaration of, " Trick or Treat "! All around the country, neighbors open their doors and give candy to anyone who shows up seeking it. Upon reflection, it is a beautiful tradition that embodies the generosity of the human spirit. I was talking to someone yesterday and commented about how much I have grown to enjoy it and wished that it could last for more than one night.

Wordless Wednesday (not really): How frozen rice saved dinner...

Dinner made in an electric skillet with Trader Joe's Organic Jasmine Rice
As you can see from the photo below, our kitchen is in disarray because of home renovations. We have been remodeling for going on two years and the kitchen remains unfinished. I have heard a rumor that my life will change this weekend. However, I've been enduring this hardship for so long that I am afraid to hope...

The end product

Coping Without Having a Stove


That said, I have managed to provide my family with healthful meals through planning, ingenuity, and the array of options that are at Trader Joe's. I have to tell you that the frozen Organic Rice pictured below might be one of the best inventions ever. The only ingredient is "organic jasmine rice", you microwave it and it is perfect every single time. It is a time saver and life saver if you have no stove. I might continue to buy it for emergencies after the kitchen is done.

Let me know if you try it!
