Every Saturday morning through mid-October, we have a super fabulous local farmer’s market in downtown Appleton. The whole market is local vendors- local producers and farmers and artisans, and I just love it.

Last week while we were grocery shopping, Abigail [...]

Two weeks ago I was still glad it was winter food-wise. There are still soups, stews, and braises to be made, and I’m just not ready for grill food. Recently though, the produce has perked up a bit at the grocery stores around us, and that has me thinking longingly towards my garden. [...]
