There's still time to join is this week at Massaro Farm to identify and remove woody in asive species, esp those that threaten our tree canopies.

Trees sequester carbon, clean the air, help control storm runoff and lower the overall temperature.

Join us in this spring workshop at Massaro Community Farm! FREE. Tools provided.

Like many of you, I've been doing some spring cleaning and reorganizing. It was on my list to go through a big old jumble of a jewelry box.

I'd painted these small picture frames and replaced the glass with screen & chicken wire. I was originally going to give them away but realized they were the perfect solution to my jewelry mess AND I had a great spot in our walk-in closet to hang them.

Love the results. What do you think?!

This was the first year I really experienced winter taking a harsh toll on my menopausal skin. I was seeing flaking in areas that just couldn't be resolved thru plain moisturizing!

I realized I had some great ingredients in my pantry that were both humectant (drawing in moisture) and emolient (softening by sealing in).

Try one of these combos for an easy 10 minute facial:

- a tsp of raw honey blended with matcha powder. Matcha reduces inflammation, helps fight acne and promotes a glowing complexion.

- a tbsp of jojoba oil blended with ground oatmeal. Oatmeal is a great gentle exfoliant and also reduces inflammation and reduces signs of aging like fine lines and dark circles.

For this week's Eating Down the Pantry challenge I wanted to use a package of beef franks from the freezer. I also had dried navy beans in the pantry.

Voila! Homemade beans and franks in the instant pot thanks to the great recipes from @ tastesbetterfromscratch.

Substitutions:

Navy beans instead of red beans
Maple syrup instead of molasses
All ketchup instead of bbq sauce
Left out peppers

Served with salad. Came out amazing! My hubbie says no more beans out of a can. The beans were from our winter grain share

I normally don't like to record myself. But I'm with you when we feel powerless in the onslaught of negative news from the around the world that we have absolutely no control over.

Those issues are important. HOWEVER, I'm here to remind you that you - the individual - still possess an amazing amount of power in your neighborhood, town and state.

Our nonnas have known for generations...but last week, olive oil sommelier and associate prof at Yale, Tassos Kyriakides walked us through the many benefits of olive oil.

It was a blast tasting oils from Italy, Greece and Spain and getting tips on what qualities to look for.
