Fostering a new renaissance through creativity, authenticity, spirituality, and art
People are always glad to see you arrive with them and they are the first things on a groaning table to be gobbled up.
Deviled eggs have a reputation for being tedious or hard to make, but they don’t have to be.
I’ve been cooking a lot lately, as you can see here. I’ve been trying new things mixed with old favorites.
This is a great dish for any guest that needs both a dairy-free and gluten-free meal. We like it very much too and make it for ourselves without those dietary restrictions.
Here are some photos of food we’ve enjoyed recently. Many meals were made trying new things, but you’ll find these classic recipes from this blog as well:
My husband got an amazing butternut squash harvest this year. Some are over 4 feet long…
It takes a lot of time to process, cook and freeze all this food, but I am very grateful for it all.
My husband grew all this eggplant, and more. With all this at once, we had to process it for the freezer, because eggplant is good only a few days after it is picked.
There have been lots of beans, broccoli, eggplant, pears, peppers, carrots, cucumbers, zucchini, cantaloupe, onions, and absolutely enormous butternut squash.
Each season we lose more of our front yard to this project, but these photos show that it is worth it!
It seemed like we did a whole lot of eating this weekend, but were surrounded by friends of all varieties from several different corners of our life, as well as beautiful weather and each other. I am very grateful.
Give mustard greens a try. You’ll be glad you did!
It takes time to make all this, which is why they call it “slow food” I suppose.
I always cringed when buying boxed organic vegetable stock, because I thought it was expensive.
So here’s to you Jess, I’m proud of what you are doing and thank you for it! We believe in you and are rooting for you.
Intimidated by fresh butternut squash? Try my way of cutting it and put all that frustration behind you.
So for those of you that don’t know: Brussels sprouts grow on a stalk.
Our first two months of empty nesting, we’ve been enjoying eating what we feel like without having to cater to what any child likes or does not.
