Today I made apple butter with 15lbs of foraged apples from my parent’s backyard.

We have officially entered zucchini season stage one. So when I read Mama JJ’s post the other day about zucchini relish, I decided I’d give it a try. I like pickled relish so I am assuming I would like zucchini relish too. I could give it away as gifts, I could use it in Read More >>

First zucchini of the season… This celery is headed for the potato salad I’m making later today. First beans of the season…hopefully in a few days I’ll be canning green beans for the pantry.
