If I’m not working, you’ll usually find me either gardening, cooking or blogging. We talk often of our gardens and what we’re growing here and you’ve seen many images of the fruits of our labor. I thought this week we could show some of what we’ve been mixing up in our kitchens, or over the fire on some days. The REAL food challenge continues all year long for some of us. Here are a few things that I’ve been cooking up at Chiot’s Run. If I have posted a recipe for the food in the image you can click on the image to head on over to my post that includes the recipe for that dish.

I (Xan) did all my cooking last week for our Lammas party–we’ve been subsisting on fresh fruit and leftovers this week! I’m going to send you over to Mahlzeit to see what I’ve been cooking; what I’ve been doing in the kitchen mostly this week is figuring out garlic braids, and I think I nailed it. Only took me, um, years.
What have you been cooking up this summer?
Not Dabbling In Normal 
Cooking up? Old chickens. Knew there were freeloaders and did the eight old girls. Only one had an egg inside. We are getting plenty of eggs now that the new 25 pullets are laying well. Spared Ronnie Rooster that was an oops in my pullet order…at least until he gets aggressive and he’ll be gone,too. Not much fun visiting the chickens if your rooster has gotten too possesive of his girls!
Tonight for supper will be pineapple chicken since I’ll be canning up a batch today.
