I just finished making some date syrup. I’ve never made it before so I hope it turned out okay. I had to make date syrup because it was granola day and we’re pretty low on maple syrup. I make granola a few times per month, enough to fill a two quart mason jar. I eat…

Sunday Morning
I wish every morning were Sunday morning. Don’t you? Sunday mornings are made for relaxing. Sundays are made for lounging around, sipping your coffee, not taking anything too seriously and just doing things that make you feel good. Even when your Sunday mornings start a little earlier than you might like. We were up pretty…
For the love of potatoes, local farm box and cold season
Ruby and I have been sick. It’s going on a week now of sore throats, sneezing, snot sucking and crankiness. I would say we’re starting to feel better but, I’m not sure that’s true. We were feeling better at one point, but then it seems to have come back. Energy wise we’re doing pretty great,…
Teething Baby, Gratitude and Pumpkin Curry
We’ve been having some rough nights here lately. I’m running on probably 4 hours a night sleep, all broken up into little chunks. Ruby is teething. She’s been teething for months but is only now showing any signs of discomfort. Her bottom two front teeth came in last month with no issue. She’s now working…
Something different, something new
So I was just writing this longish post in one of the Facebook groups I’m in, sort of an update post, when it occurred to me that this could easily be a blog post. And I’ve really been looking for the inspiration to get blogging again so….. Then it occurred to me that my blog…
Camp Eats from the local Farmers’ Market
School starts tomorrow. I’ve been going a bit crazy for the last month or so trying to get things done before school starts. Cleaning the house, cooking as much as possible, sleeping. Once school starts life is going to get a bit full. I won’t have a lot of time to do those things that…
Sundays in my Kitchen
Sundays in my kitchen are pretty busy. I love to spend a large part of my day in the kitchen, playing. After a trip to the farmers’ market I like to clean out the fridge. This generally leads to figuring what I can do with all of the leftover produce from the week. And what…
Sprouting
I planted these sprouts on Friday. I decided to use soil instead of my sprouting jar. Just for fun. It’s working really well. They’re over an inch tall already. I can literally sit here and watch them grow! I’ll let them go for a few more days and have a delicious sprout salad. These sprouts…
A Visit to the Farm
This past weekend we piled into the car for a journey to Lawrence Farms Orchard to pick our own strawberries, snap peas and greens! I’ve been wanting to do this for awhile and though it was a long drive, it was an awesome experience. Connecting with where your food actually comes from is so important…
A Day in the Life (of my eating)
I thought it might be interesting to look at an average day of what I eat. Fair warning though, I’m a big eater. Well, really I’m a big snacker. I’m always snacking on something. I’ve always been a big snacker, though over the years what I snack on has gotten a lot better. Aside from…
