After receiving many questions about knowing when the saurkraut is finished fermenting I decided to do a post about it. I finished off my kraut this morning and took a few photos to share. After 2-4 weeks, depending on the temp, you should notice that your kraut is no longer bubbling, or is [...]

There were two things hubby requested when I decided to go vegan…he could not live without icecream and he begged that I please not quit making this soup! There is still icecream in the freezer and I made this last night!
I will admit right here and now that I do not like boiled potatoes. I [...]

No, it is just that I have neglected to share…my sincerest apologies.
To correct this grave error, I am going to share a recipe that I whipped up with some of our remaining pumpkins. These [...]

Last week I posted about the shiitake mushrooms that we grow at our place. Although they do look mighty pretty, we really grow them to eat. One of our favorite ways to eat any mushrooms is in Broccoli Mushroom soup, or, as I like to call it, “THe World’s Best Mushroom Soup”. [...]

When I was still living at home, we had a family friend that had a big farm with a great barn, a perfect orchard and an old fashioned cider press. We’d wander back into the orchard, fight our way past the yellow jackets and the post-digestion horse food to gather buckets full of apples [...]

After my last post a few weeks ago, we joked in comments about the passing around of cornbread and how I might write a recipe in my next post. Even though I don’t have an extra special cornbread recipe, I have certainly cooked enough of it and eaten enough of it to share a few [...]
