About Us

Hello! I'm Ann Slezewick, the creator of this site. I'm a healing food cook, kitchen herbalist, and I also enjoy painting in watercolor and sewing aprons with vintage fabrics.

I love natural, simple living; it feels good to live with less chemicals and more sunshine!

I got into healthy foods cooking and natural health because of health challenges, mostly related to food sensitivities. So I learned to cook without dairy, sugar and wheat. I continue to explore superfoods, herbs and spices in my kitchen.

I'm also a spiritual person. To me, all the major religions have some wisdom to offer. You'll find some of this wisdom in quotes around this site. And to me, nature is spiritual!

I am really concerned about the food quality today, so I have some articles on the "food revolution": organics, farmer's markets, urban farms and more. I follow food purity and health freedom issues, and I love to support organic farmers and green businesses.

I'm a complete idealist,and I'm convinced the world would be better if we could all garden and eat whole, healthy foods! I think one day soon we will.

More about me: I have studied cooking at the Natural Epicurean in Austin Tx, and I have an MA degree in Holistic Nutrition from Clayton School of Natural Health.

Here's my hubby Alan Slezewick. He is a gardener who loves healthy food and nature as well. Alan creates raised beds, compost, cold frames, fences and plants and saves seeds. He says he works out in God's gym. He grows it, I cook it!

Alan also has a "regular" job as a computer analyst.
