Seriously? Zucchini hummus? Yep. You probably think I am totally nuts, but you have got to try this. I stood in my kitchen at 10 am this morning still in my footie pajamas scooping this zucchini hummus out of the Blendtec. First of all, you cannot even tell you are eating zucchini {always a plus Read More >>

A few weeks ago I planted 4 containers with basil seeds, and today I planted the basil seedlings in the greenhouse. I’m hoping for a late fall harvest. I’ve tried to grow basil over the years, but this is really this first year I have ever been successful at it, and I think it’s all Read More >>

Yesterday, Jennifer O left me this comment… “I bought a tiny jar of homemade jam at a local farmer’s market for $9! Yes, expensive but it was Carrot Cake Jam, and the best I’ve ever had (I’m a bit of a jam enthusiast and this one make me swoon). I’ll be paying them another $9 Read More >>

Remember those free plums we picked up the other day? Well this morning I whipped up a batch of cinnamon plum jam using a low sugar recipe. Even though I’ve canned enough jam this summer to last the next year or two, I just can’t stop trying new jam recipes when I find them. I think all Read More >>

After I finished watering the garden this morning I decided to pick a few Hubbard squash I’ve had my eyes on. I’m not exactly sure what I’m going to do with them yet, but man were they heavy {I’ll tell you exactly how heavy tomorrow}. There were also plenty of cucumbers that needed to be Read More >>

The pickin’s were a little slim this week. But I’m not complaining. With the kids getting ready to head back to school, the garden, the chickens, and having to get ready for a quick trip to Boise, I was a bit relieved to see only 3 boxes when I picked up our “chicken scraps” this Read More >>
