Our Green Table is my story about...
*Finding peace amidst chaos
*Switching to a plant-based diet
*Cooking delicious food
*Living in "The Sandwich"
* Traveling between AR and NY...lots! caring for family
*Meeting sweet people
*Sharing my discoveries
*Keeping it healthy and fun
My wish for Our Green Table is...
From omnivore to vegan and everyone in between, OGT will become our story of curiosity, compassion and changes that make a difference.
Here is the not set-in-stone path the stories will take:
Mondays: Recipe Day (Meatless Monday ideas)
Wednesdays: "Skin" Food and/or "Soul" Food Day
Fridays: Recipe Day (Weekend Fun)

Some Crumbs To Nibble On
I am on an "adventure in life", a journey to a more peaceful way of eating and living to protect my health, my sanity and the world I live in. I am up for learning all sorts of new things and sharing them. I thought, like a good binding does for the stories in a book, I would anchor my food stories and fun discoveries to a spot in my home that roots me and, I believe, roots for me.
I have a green table that sits in the middle of my kitchen. No telling how old it is. It has been in many other homes, I suspect, before mine. The legs are sturdy and graceful, but the “toes” are stubbed and worn. There is part of the table that forms a brace joining the legs. It is a great perch for baskets and dogs’ paws. The surface of the table unfolds like a puzzle and goes from small to large with a wiggle of a couple of pieces of wood hidden underneath the main tabletop.
I love the color, or colors of green, that pop through. Starting with emerald through to lime, there are many shades until, in small patches, the bare wood softly peeks out. The colors of green remind me to choose well. I love this table, the food that goes on it, the chairs, elbows and paws that pull up and rest there. It is the heart of my kitchen and is the centerpiece for not only our food, but for our stories.
While nourishing the body and soul, the recipes in the stories here also nourish the environment and support the local food community.
Here are the Golden-Green Rules of Our Green Table:
1. Buy food with thought
2. Cook it simply, with care
3. Use less wheat and no meat
4. Create wholesome sweets
5. Buy local foods, real foods
6. Serve just enough
7. Use what is left
8. Keep it fun
And so now, the story telling and sharing begins!
