My mom makes a mean batch of baked beans. She's always asked to bring them to parties and events. They so perfect and chunky! You could easily substitute the canned beans for dried beans and soak them before making the batch. Not only are they delicious, they're quick to make. There's no need to slave… Continue reading Mom’s Baked Beans
This recipe was passed along by our CSA, Schlegel Run Growers from another share holder. I get stuck when it comes to yellow squash, I'm really not sure why. It's just like any other squash. I haven't cooked much with curry before, but wanted to give it a try. I'm super sensitive to the aroma… Continue reading Curried Summer Squash Soup
I love peaches! We're lucky to have an amazing orchard close to our house that supplies us with most of the fruit we eat year round. I bought a quart of peaches at the Farmers Market last week and I knew I wanted to make ice cream with them. My husband always tells me how… Continue reading Peach Sour Cream Ice Cream
Part of our CSA basket last week was 2 small heads of baby cabbage. When I think of cabbage, there's two things that come to mind...sauerkraut and coleslaw. I have never made sauerkraut before, but it's on my list, one day I'll tackle it. So the next best thing was to make a batch of… Continue reading Herbed Coleslaw
Part of our CSA share was a bunch of kale. I've only used kale in soup before but had been seeing a ton of people making kale chips. I figure it wasn't hard and it might be a more healthy snack for Madeline. I was right. She loved them! I'll definitely be making them again… Continue reading Kale Chips
This month's assignment was from Everyday Insanity. I was excited when I received Cindy's blog as my assignment. We have very similiar styles of cooking and I loved seeing all the posts about her grandkids! I chose her Beefy Macaroni Skillet recipe. It's a quick, one pot meal which is great for any busy family.… Continue reading The Secret Recipe Club: Turkey Macaroni Skillet
I scream, you scream....we all scream for ice cream! July is National Ice Cream month and I'm planning to make a variety of ice cream over the last 2 weeks of the month. I made a batch of chocolate ice cream the other day and it was delicious. So perfect, creamy and full of flavor.… Continue reading Chocolate Ice Cream
I never know what to make with the jalapenos I grow...why do I even grow them? I guess because they're easy and I always think I'll make jalapeno poppers, but I never have enough peppers. BUT this recipe gives me the same flavors of poppers but much with only 2 peppers! This is another recipe I… Continue reading Jalapeno Popovers
I'm always looking for healthier snacks for Madeline and this didn't disappoint. She's been a bottomless pit for the last 2 weeks. I'm waiting for her to shoot up like a beanstalk soon. These bites are similar to scones and are perfect a room temperature or warmed up. The best part - one is under… Continue reading Cinnamon Raisin Bites
Cod cakes have been on my "to make" list for months and I'm mad that I waited so long! These cakes were delicious and the use of mayonaise as a binder rather than an egg was perfect. They were tangy and didn't need any tarter or cocktail sauce. I'll definitely be doubling the recipe I… Continue reading Cod Cakes
