It was not that long ago that I wondered if harvest season was going to pass me by this year. In the midst of our late-spring madness, in the midst of moving, I clearly recall that feeling of despair- that feeling that if the strawberries ripen too early I’m going […]

Gone Fishing!
For reals this time! Off to the forest to spend a week at the beach with my babies. Be back blogging soon!
Berries, Berries Everywhere!
It never rains, but it pours. Yesterday as I was literally floating on air from our raspberry success, a phone call came in. The phone call telling me that my blueberry order was in and ready for pick-up. All 50 pounds of them. Seriously, all I could do was laugh, […]
Raspberry Dreams
I absolutely adore seasonal fruit. I especially love putting a little extra money into purchasing it when it is in season, and then preserving it in different ways to enjoy all year long. Strawberry season is just behind us, and we did get to the patch twice this year to […]
Scotcheroos, K-Bars, Or Whatever You Want To Call Them
The second bar I made up to take with us this past weekend was a Scotcheroo. This is one of those bars that I’ve never made, but gosh, do I love to eat them. When I see them at potlucks and other gatherings, I always reach for this delicious delight- […]
Tabbouleh With Chickpeas
I am on a roll with the August issue of Eating Well magazine. In particular, the feature on grain salads has produced two winners so far- and I’m eyeing up a third one. After the success of the Beet & Barley salad, I forged ahead with the Tabbouleh with Chickpeas […]

Quick Strawberry Salad with Vinaigrette
When you live in a Northern climate like I do, you tend to look at magazines and magazine articles with a jaded eye. When a magazine is touting “fresh strawberries now” in March and April, here in the north we roll our eyes and set the article aside for June- […]
Delicious Berry-Filled Muffins
A few months ago I was looking for a quick muffin recipe to add to my repertoire. I had a carton of strawberries in the fridge that needed to be used in something- they were well past prime eating and would get tossed if I didn’t use them. I also […]
Roasted Beet and Barley Salad
My August issue of Eating Well magazine arrived on a day where I was thinking about cooking something new for dinner. As we settled into the house last week, it took a few days before I really felt like I could work in the kitchen. As it is now, the […]
New Beginnings
Well hello there my dear Internets. I cannot tell you how many times over the last three weeks I’ve longed for this moment of being able to sit down at the computer and tell you a story. It’s a crazy story of life- life that actually happened to our family […]
