Hello, and welcome to Veg-Eccentric.  I’m Louise, or Weezy to most folks, and I am an omnivorous middle-aged woman, with some heart health issues. I’m overweight but making good progress, working at better health and maintaining a love of cooking great food, now with a focus on vegetables. I go just about every Saturday morning to the farmer’s market (I only missed 3 weeks last year) where the vendors are local, pesticide/GMO-free producers of vegetables.  Having good vegetables makes it easier and more fun to create great meals using them as a centerpiece.  Don’t get me wrong — there is certainly a place for the convenience of frozen and canned products, and I’ll focus on those more in the winter months, but for the next few months, I’ll be enjoying the bounty of summer.

A warning for all ye who enter here….. if you’re the sort of cook who wants extremely precise measurements, exacting temperatures, and long discourses on techniques, that just isn’t my style.  But please look around and use what you can to enjoy what you bring to the table.
