As I was sorting through my recent boxes of free chicken scraps, there was more watermelon, strawberries and lettuce {I’ll show you the pictures on Tuesday} than my family could eat. Since my counters are already pretty full with free produce from the garden, I decided to see if I could barter any of the Read More >>

Apple Pie Jam Recipe Last week when I made carrot cake jam, a few of you suggested I try making apple pie jam. Um hello, my son LOVES homemade apple pie so I figured he would LOVE his own batch of apple pie jam. Since Monkey Boy has been a little boy, I’ve always made Read More >>

The strawberries are back in full force again, and this time, instead of making jam or a dessert, I made focaccia bread. I had spotted this recipe from Saveur Magazine a while back and knew I wanted to try it. And I’m sure glad I did. It’s sweet, but not too sweet, and it goes Read More >>
