This is the first year that I have successfully grown regular onions in my garden. I’ve tried in years past, but always from seed, and I never got nice bulbs at the end of the onion. Green onions I can grow without thinking about, but bulbing onions eluded me for […]

Spanakopita Loaded Potatoes
It’s no secret that I am a foodie magazine junkie. I love receiving them in the mail, and then sitting down during a quiet afternoon/evening with a cup of coffee or tea and going through them. I’m always on the lookout for new meal inspiration that fits into a busy […]
Oven Dried Cherry Tomatoes
For years I’ve been dreaming of the perfect cherry tomato garden. YEARS! I have long wanted cherry tomatoes in every color so that I can have bowls of a beautiful rainbow to have and to share. Well, this is the year I succeeded on that front, and my tune has […]
How To Freeze Zucchini
It’s that time of year! The time of year where zucchini growers can be found on every street corner begging for people to take their over-sized vegetables. Most people will happily take one or two, but then there are SO many left. Zucchini plants can produce like gangbusters, or just […]
Pickled Peperoncini Peppers
Oh my, these are good! These are SO good! Even better when I look at these jars and realize that I grew these peppers, as well as the garlic flavoring the brine. A few weeks ago I looked at my Peperoncini plants and realized that there were an awful lot […]
Re-Post: Our Favorite Peach Salsa
Dear Tummy Treasure readers, I’ve never done this before, but today I’m republishing an older blog post. I’ve been working my way through a bushel of peaches, and this salsa is as spectacular this year as it was when we first made it five years ago. The peaches are amazing […]
Easy and Garlicky Grilled Salmon
It’s decided to be a bit muggy here in Wisconsin this week, so I’ve been avoiding the stove. Anything I can do to reduce the heat in our non-air conditioned home is essential on days like this, so on these days, meals are salads and things that can be done […]
I Made The Best Chicken Salad The Other Day…
But I don’t have a picture. There is a story here though. It was Sunday, July 5th, the tail end of a busy holiday weekend, and a busy last week in the kitchen preserving fruit. Because it was a holiday weekend, we had the unexpected bonus of not having an […]
Fresh Fruit Firestorm!
The last week of June I did something completely crazy and unlike anything I’ve ever done before. I loaded up our car and drove my two children all the way from Wisconsin to Panama City, Florida. Andy had to work, so it fell to me to drive my two dancing […]
Adding Kale To A Thai Green Curry
For the longest time I stayed away from making green curries at home. For one, I was worried that green curry meant that it was crazy hot, so the kids wouldn’t eat it. Secondly, it relies on coconut milk a lot, and while I do use coconut milk from time […]
Replay: Fall Off The Bone Baby Back Ribs
Perfect for your summer entertaining, these baby back ribs really DO fall off the bone, and they are incredibly delicious. Even better? They are way easier to make than you would think. Over the years I have watched so many cooking shows that feature ribs, and so many of them […]
Pasta Puttanesca with Kale
I have long been a fan of kale- well before it became in vogue to be a fan of kale. The reason I have been a fan of kale really has little to do with the nutritional properties, rather, it’s because of the fact that I can grow it easily! […]
