I can’t believe how I’ve been dragging on getting my tomatoes started. Luckily they grow very fast in hot weather, so it’s not like I’m not going to be able to get a nice crop or anything. I sowed a bunch in late February indoors in newspaper pots, then moved them to the front porch [...]
Ok, here’s another lunch idea I haven’t posted before. Today’s lunch is snow peas, pita bread pockets stuffed with vegan breakfast patties and tater tots from Trader Joe’s, club crackers, and a thermos of iced peach tea with honey. I realized I forgot the fruit in the pic, it was an orange. This blog entry [...]
I finally got my spinach in the ground, I hope I get a nice crop this spring. I took these pics last week or so ago and the spinach has already grown a lot since then. I love spinach so much and it tastes so great fresh from the garden. This blog entry written by [...]
Real conversations I have had countless times with various people in the many years I have been a vegetarian: person: just wait until you’ve been a vegetarian for a while. After a few months I bet you’ll change your mind.me: I have been a vegetarian for 5-10-13-15-18-20 years (depending on what year the person asked [...]
Here’s some of my sweet corn growing indoors (well on the porch) early May 2007. It’s in the ground now though I think I put it down too early. This blog entry written by Trula Breckenridge. Thanks for visiting Family Footprint!

I’ve been meaning to grow my own soybeans for some time and start making my own tofu and soy milk. Full production is going to have to wait until we build our straw-bale house, until then I’m going to buy soybeans and supplement with what I can grow now and start making our soy products [...]
This is a quick tutorial for making seaweed and rice wraps, also known as vegetarina sushi. This is bare bones using just rice. It is very, very simple and easy to make. You will need for each wrap 3-4 heaping tablespoons cooked rice, warm, and one sheet of dried seaweed, also known as nori. You [...]
Kitchen window early May 2007. Spinach and onion growing. I have to get this spinach in the ground. With spinach you’ve got to get it in early. Last year I planted it too late it went to seed when the hot weather hit. I did get some spinach, but not as much as I hoped. [...]
I just came across this blog for Thurston Market Garden, a small market garden in Scotland. Lovely pics, here. I don’t know what it is about seeing green things growing but I could look at these pics all day. Very soothing and beautiful:Thurston Market Garden This blog entry written by Trula Breckenridge.

Another typical veggie lunch for my kids, midway through preparation. This week we ran out of sandwich bags so I’m using foil ’till I can get to the store. Today it’s juicy juice, veggie burger sandwich on multi-grain bread, tangerines (not shown) and sliced seaweed and rice rolls, and homemade oatmeal cookies. This blog entry [...]

Little Hug juice drink, banana, baggie of raw snow peas, cosmic brownie little debbie snack, peanut butter and strawberry jam sandwich on a white/multigrain mix bread. Juicy Juice is a juice box brand that has no preservatives, artificial colors, or high fructose corn syrup. it is also [...]

I aim for healthy snacks like granola, popcorn, rice balls, homemade muffins, etc., but I also do stuff like potato chips, pretzels, little debbie snacks. As you [...]
