What the Heck is a GMO?

Wikipedia's  definition of  Genetically Modified Organism:  "Genetically modified foods (or GM foods) are foods produced from organisms that have had specific changes introduced into their DNA using the methods of genetic engineering. These techniques have allowed for the introduction of new traits as well as a far greater control over a food's genetic structure than previously afforded by methods such as selective breeding and mutation breeding." Corn is one of top GMO foods consumed daily in the US. In simpler terms: a GMO is produce, grains, fruits and livestock that has been changed in a lab to be bigger, more productive, more resistant to pests and diseases to increase production and profit. This has been done for years with cross pollination in plants and breeding animals with more desirable traits. That process was slow and took several generations of plants and animals to get closer to the end outcome. Altering the DNA in a lab is quick, often the outc...

Yippee for summer! My Arizona garden keeps me in fresh veggies all year, but summer brings a glutton of squash, cucumbers, peppers and tomatoes. I pickle peppers and cucumbers several times over the summer,make sauces and can the tomatoes as well, but I can never find enough things to do with zucchini . Sometimes I can't even give it away! My husband is not a zucchini fan at all, or any other vegetable for that matter. He often doesn't even know when I sneak in veggies under his nose. It's much like issues moms of toddlers have, except mine will go head for the drive thru if dinner bombs. He will never turn down chocolate. Which brings me back around to zucchini! I've tried countless recipes for zucchini bread some with chocolate. Most are quite good for me and the kids, but my hubby turns his nose up at the little green specks and refuses to even try it.
