I don’t know if it was my son driving his paw patrol through the bowl of flour or what but these muffins are some of the best pumpkin muffins i’ve ever made. I know, I know I say that about all the muffins I make.. (see blueberry muffins here) but i’m not joking around. They…
In The Kitchen
Pretty Kitchen Finds for Under Thirty Dollars
It all started with a ceramic egg holder that popped up in my my Instagram feed before I fell into a rabbit hole of all the cute kitchen goods on the internet right now. Most shopping experiences lately have been lack luster and I find myself still roaming online during my free time. I have…
Pumpkin Focaccia Bread with Spicy Cheddar Topping
I read the other day that there could potentially be a pumpkin puree shortage this year. I shouldn’t be surprised it is 2020 after all. Maybe this is the time in my life when I teach myself to whip up my own pumpkin puree? hmmmm I smell a weekend activity. An activity… Kind of like…
Marinated Dehydrate Tomato Recipe
I’ve mentioned a million times how many tomatoes I have but I feel we are finally coming to the end. I have made ketchup, marinated them with toasty bread, made sauces and salsa galore. Last on my list is Canadian ketchup (new recipe) but any stragglers are going to be made into these marinated dehydrated…
Homemade Tomato Ketchup Recipe
Allow me a moment to share the saga of this ketchup. I had this post and recipe all typed up and ready to go last week and when I hit “publish” it was gone. Disappeared and nowhere to be found. I needed to take a step back from my rage and disbelief and now here…
Marinated Tomatoes with Goat Cheese
I will always remember the night that Joe and I spent in Italy under the starts of an old patio with 4 other strangers and a chef enjoying hot bread and pasta that we had just prepared all together from our cooking class. It was one of those nights you see in a movie. Laughing…
Zucchini and Onion Dip
Do you know what I have included in part of my last meal? French onion dip and baked lays. Do you know what I have an abundance of right now? Zucchini. I have been picking pounds and pounds of zucchini since late June and I was running out of things to make with it. I’ve…
Peach and Plum Galette
We had a casual outdoor girls night on the farm a few weeks ago and it was more needed than I could have ever realized. We popped open a couple bottles of wine that Pomelo Wines sent to me for sampling and I made a very simple dish of marinated tomatoes and a peach and…
Soy Marinated Blistered Shishito Peppers
I think that shishito peppers might be my most favorite new vegetable I’ve introduced into the garden this year. They have a nice sweet heat and we have been tossing them with olive oil, salt and pepper and roasting them at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes until they’re soft and blistered. We then either…
Burrata Cheese with Creamed Corn and Sugared Peaches
Sunday evening joe and I found ourselves with an abundance of produce from the garden and after a long day of working around the house we were in the mood for some appetizers! I picked up some peaches from the kalamazoo farmers market on Saturday and I was dying to make this recipe that I…
Making Elderflower Cordial From Foraged Elderflowers
I love the phrase “if it grows together it goes together”. Right now on the farm we have wild blackberries, mulberries and elderflowers popping up all over the farm and I am scurrying around trying to pick them before the birds do. I often find myself quietly talking to myself as I pick them. More…
Garlic Scape Pesto Recipe
The only good thing about ramps not being in season anymore is that it means garlic scapes are. I dice these up just like I would ramps into my eggs and quiche although they are a little bit tougher than the ramp leaves so sometimes I give them a little sauté in the butter. Garlic…
