I love Thanksgiving because I love to cook for people.  Since this was my wife Helen’s first Thanksgiving, I asked her what kind of pies she wanted and she loves cream pies.  I’ve never made a cream pie from scratch before, but I love a challenge, so I converted some recipes I had into healthier ingredients. 

I made a banana cream pie and a chocolate cream pie.  They both turned out fabulously well.  They were so good I can’t wait to make them again.  So, I thought I’d share the recipes with you.  I hope you enjoy them, too.

Ratatouille is a traditional French vegetable stew - a perfect dish for a garden full of too many zucchini squash and eggplants.  This is a very tasty version of the dish you'll enjoy anytime.

I love a good cookie, but the best cookies are those I make myself with all natural ingredients.  Here are a few of my favorite recipes.

Here's a way to make a healthier version of one of our favorite American foods.  But beware!  Once you make your own homemade pizza you may never be content with the fast-food version again.

Recently, I celebrated my 53rd birthday.  It was the last day of my annual herb walk class and my sons and I made ice cream, chocolate brownies and chocolate cake for everyone who was participating.  I promised the students at the class that I’d get them the recipes.  
The ice cream recipe is already on the website.  Here are the recipes for the brownies and chocolate cake.
Enjoy.

I love a little ice cream once in a while, but I much prefer my own homemade ice cream to anything I can buy at the store.  With the ingredients I put in my ice cream, it not only tastes good, it's actually pretty healthy.
