The first time I made these tacos, I think I had some ground pork in the freezer, and I’d recently discovered the pleasure of making my own Italian Sausage. The tacos sounded really different- and crazy easy- and we were really surprised when we discovered how delicious they are! Yesterday […]

Delicious Oatmeal Bread
I know what you’re thinking. It’s summer, and I’m baking bread. This has actually been a very cool summer here in my neck of the woods. It’s been rather pleasant, though in my opinion, the coolness means it’s not been hot enough for activities like swimming. But it’s cool enough […]
Sour Cherry Cake
Oh my gosh, it feels amazing to be cooking and baking again! I can’t even begin to explain this change that has come over me. Our last house was such a blessing to us at the time, and yet, there were things about it that I always hated. One was […]
Raspberry Cream Pie- Delicious!
We managed to hit the raspberry patch one more time this season. Last week it popped up in my Facebook feed that Wednesday morning was going to be the end of raspberry season. The kids had a dance class later in the morning, so we set out to pick one […]
Lemon Broccoli On The Grill
I have a series of fruity desserts to share in the coming days, so I thought I’d better throw in something on the savory side. I had picked up a bunch of broccoli the other day, and I wanted to do something different to it to go with some grilled […]
Fresh. Cherry. Pie.
This pie is… in one word… AMAZING. I have played with cherry pies for years. No matter how hard I tried though, I could not assemble a cherry pie that I thought was a winner. Until now. This will absolutely work with frozen pie cherries, let me assure you of […]
Harvest Season
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 […]
