I teach classes on medicinal mushrooms and, invariably, there’s a student who doesn’t like to eat mushrooms despite their interest in mushrooms as medicine.

Spring is always an exciting time of year, especially for the local food eater.
I’ve always loved sour cream and onion. In fact, I was known for it as a kid. I was that weirdo who would eat chopped onions on my chocolate ice cream. I kid you not! Now that I’m an adult though, I’m a little more…refined with my tastes, especially when it comes to onions.

While all the other kids shoveled in the chocolate chip muffins, I sat with my carrot one, happy as a bunny.
I am a peanut butter monster! I don’t even want to think about the amount of money I’ve spent on plain, crunchy peanut butter in the past year. It must be in the hundreds though. I always have a good ol’ jar of PB on hand. Recently, I was craving cookies but didn’t have very much in my cupboard.
