Waste Not, Want Not This is one of the simplest, yet most important, life lessons that my grandmother left with me. Her mother had lived through some very lean years that taught her to never waste. In her eyes, it was a downright sin to waste good food […]
Cool nights mean one thing in our house. It’s time for hot chocolate! Mexican chocolate has a grainy texture that’s rich with sugar. So much sugar, in fact, that there is no need to add additional sugar. Mexican Hot Chocolate makes about 1 cup of hot chocolate mix […]
So simple, so easy and so delicious. How hard is it to carefully brown the butter, add a squeeze of lemon and pinch of sage? Answer: It’s not hard at all. There is, however, one tricky bit. You must properly apply the sauce to your pasta. This means using a […]
If you’re looking for massive amounts of tomatoes, go with cherries and plums. Without a doubt, this year we harvested more tomatoes than ever before. We picked over 6 baskets (6-8 cups each) of cherry and plum tomatoes alone. We also had the best batch of Black Krim tomatoes with […]

The summer is coming to a close. So, now’s the time to grab all of the fresh vegetables that you can. We had tons of baby greens, gorgeous tomatoes, radishes, cucumbers, spring onions, cilantro and lime. So, we paired our grilled corn with a big plate of salad […]
Purple Potatoes I love them. But, I don’t love the way they fade and bleed into soups and stews. So, I tried something different. I nuked them. Three minutes for the first try. And, then they went back into the nuker for another 2-3 minutes. Cook til fork […]
Blue cheese and pear turn an ordinary salad into something special. Personally, I think walnut and walnut oil are the best choice. But, pistachios and olive oil would be lovely, too. Some other choices might be roasted almond, hazelnut or macadamia nut. Hemp seeds would be fun to try as […]
We’re going to miss these Sun Gold cherry tomatoes.
Out of this mix of black cherry, black plums, Sun Gold cherry, Juliet’s, Tami G’s, and Super Sweet 100 tomatoes. The Super Sweet 100’s and the Tami G’s find their way into my recipes. The Sun […] |
