I stopped at 3 grocery stores and could not find red pepper jelly. Super annoying. Let me clarify - I stopped at 3 grocery stores and could not find any sort of pepper jelly that did not have Yellow 5 and Red 40 in it. So, buy peppers and make your own. Also - no apple jelly let alone organic apple jelly. None. Guess I'll make that too. It's always fun when my husband picks up one of my food … [Read more...]
Cashew butter cookies
I went to take a few pictures of a bridge that was nearby where I grew up last weekend and I forgot how much I love to take pictures. Maybe I'll slowly get back into this again... Anyway - I made some real good cookies this morning and thought I'd share the recipe. It took a food processor. gasp. Ugh - It's all of the way in the back. It's like 5 pieces and at least 2 trips to the counter. I'll … [Read more...]
Almond Fruit Bread
I received a request for some low carb/low sugar recipes. Although this bread has fruit in it, it's pretty versatile and you can make it lower carb if you so choose. You could swap out the fruit for more nuts; add lower carb fruits; skip the honey all together; you can even skip the butter and add in water instead - although I'm not sure why you would ever want to do that. Start out with … [Read more...]
A good excuse to bake
I came across this article last night and thought I would share. One of my favorite things to do is to bake something and give it away. Read it here Very loosely it says "It is more blessed to give than to receive." Pretty sure I've read that somewhere before :) … [Read more...]
Cherry Hand Pies
My life has been very full in a good way the last few months. I've still been making wonderful food out of new cookbooks I received for Christmas and my Birthday - been remodeling our kitchen (finally done!) and taking care of the 3 yahoos. I've found myself wanting to blog but then stopping myself because it sounded like too much work and I didn't want to take the time to do it. I should … [Read more...]
Alive and Well
I am alive and well believe it or not. My days consist of 3 busy kids. and homeschool. and work. and food. not necessarily in that order. I hope to have time to add new posts again, but for now this is where I'm at. … [Read more...]
Rhubarb Meatloaf
Rhubarb rhubarb. When I think of rhubarb, I think of my Great Aunt Maggie. I didn't know much about her other than she wore pretty lavender polyester pants and long necklaces; lived in an old chicken coop that was converted into a house; loved to put puzzles together; paid my brother a quarter for mowing her lawn while I got to sit inside and drink 7-up out of a green glass bottle; and she made … [Read more...]
Rhubarb Ketchup
You don't need tomatoes to make a good ketchup. Here is proof! You can use it on Rhubarb Meatloaf, as a dipping sauce or a spread. It's very easy. Throw everything in a pot; bring it to a boil; let it sit for an hour; boil it again for a good 10 minutes and puree. Totally easy. and totally worth it. You would be surprised. I used some cheap ruby port that I happened to have in the … [Read more...]
Salted Cookies (Mother’s Day)
I was recently given the opportunity to try a few items from Uncommon Goods. I have ordered from their company for years. They are a company out of Brooklyn, NY that's been in business since 1999. 1/2 of what they make is by hand and 1/3 of their items use up-cycled or recycled materials. How many companies can say that? It's my go-to shopping place for when I'm going for something a little bit … [Read more...]
Strawberry Cows
I've been having quite the complex lately. All of which stems from lack of sleep I'm sure. My Finn who is now 4 months old is waking every hour and a half to eat. I've tried moving his bed so it's not so close to mine - letting him squirm around until it's a full blow cry ... And I finally give in and figure if he just eats real quick I could go back to sleep in 8 minutes. This is of course is … [Read more...]
