You know, I’ve grappled about what to write about tonight. I was going to give you a lovely completed garden plan with lists of delectable varieties of heirloom plants I’m going to grow this year… but no. That will have to come next week. I promise a lovely garden...
I hope you’ll forgive my absence the past week. I was either nursing the sick or being sick myself (and I unfortunately got the worst of it!), and it hardly left me room to write, let alone think. But, today, dear Wednesday, I feel better! It was funny, too-...
I’ve decided to create a food labeling key, so that I can include all these details about some of our meals. I won’t do it all the time, but I thought it might streamline things when I do want to specify. So, here are the codes for the foods-...
So, I keep talking all this lacto-fermentation business, and the health of our guts and blah blah blah… Today my sister and I made some ginger carrot slices, and I thought I would just show you how incredibly easy and rewarding this pickling business can be. So come along,...

I find myself here, Wednesday again, and feeling less than inspired. I suppose it’s to be expected. Jeff is working two part time jobs now, I’m busy with my new job and taking care of these two kids and the house, and food just… happens. Soon my sister and...
Although I am definitely in the midst of the holiday frenzy, I realized while I was making lunch that it was Wednesday. And so, quickly, some food:
This is pretty basic fare around these parts at this time of year. I threw this soup together in just a matter of...
Just a few snippets of the last week in food. It’s been a busy week, and unpredictable food-wise. So I didn’t get together that perfect week in food. But I worry not! Even when my menu plan doesn’t go… as planned, it’s never a loss. I just move those...
I can’t tell you how helpful menu planning has been to me. With everything going on around these parts, by four or five o’clock I’ve lost most of my gumption in the creativity department. When it was just Jeff and I, I would often make these elaborate dinners after...
