Here’s a kitchen tip for you this Friday morning. When I buy or harvest fresh herbs, I don’t throw them in the fridge, instead I place them in water and keep them on the window sill. There they will stay crisp and fresh for up to week, instead of wilting and browning in the fridge. … read more
Yesterday, I went to Terrain with one of my friends. It’s been a busy and emotional couple of months for me–what with Grandmom passing away and Indie Fixx Jr. graduating college and moving out–and I needed a girls’ day out. Lucky for me, I have a good friend who remembered I wanted to visit Terrain … read more
I bought a quart of the very first strawberries of the season today and I decided to poach some of them since they are already going a little soft. What do you did when life gives you too much fresh fruit? Why you poach it in booze, my friends! I poached half the strawberries and … read more

I made vegetarian mushroom stroganoff with the mushrooms, used the scallions in some guacamole, … read more
I was doing some cleaning this morning and came across this fondue pot I found at a yard sale years ago. It was buried in a cabinet in my kitchen where I put it with plans to do some research on fondue recipes. I’m a child of the 80′s and I remember fondue as a … read more
This morning, I was none too excited about my breakfast options. I just didn’t feel like oatmeal or granola cereal with almond milk. Luckily, I came across a post from Becky of Glue and Glitter for her Orange Ginger Dream Green Smoothie. I decided to give it a try and it was just what I … read more
Photo from agricultureguide.org. We try to eat as local as possible here in the Indie Fixx household. It’s better for the environment, better for our community and better for us. That’s like a win-win-win. One of the things we do is to buy a farm share as part of a CSA. In the past we … read more
