*Note: I don’t usually consume much of the sweets I’ve made. Mostly, I bake for other people. This crisp, however, is so delicious… well… let’s just say that I won’t have to worry about distributing any at work in order for it all to get eaten. This is another recipe with the sugar cut back, [...]

Charlie’s been making this pie for a while, and he always gets extremely rave reviews with it. (This photo is from when he and Ben made the pie for me once!)
You may have noticed when I posted the recipes from All Over Your Face, I omitted the apple pie recipe. That’s because when we [...]

Tuesday was Crockpot Attempt Number Two, and I was really hoping to make use of the wonderful corn that arrived as a last minute addition to our farm share this week. A neighboring farm had shared enough for each of us to take six fresh ears, and I had some potatoes left from last week’s [...]

This morning I woke up before Charlie did, so I snuck out of bed (not an easy feat, since I sleep on the inside next to a wall) and got to the kitchen. I haven’t been able to do a lot of independent cooking and baking lately because my arthritis in my hands has been [...]
Nectarine Crumb Mini-Muffins

As you can see, we stole one to eat while they were still cooling.
This week brought nectarines in the farm share, and since we’re going camping, we need something for easy breakfasts. I figured muffins would be a good start, and nectarine muffins sounded delicious. A month or two ago, I’d seen a peach crumb [...]

Charlie’s school semester just started up again, and his courses are not only a bit more serious (he’s loading up on sociology and social work classes in anticipation of getting an MSW after his undergrad), but he’s got more evening classes than usual and he’s getting home a lot later at night. Our epic dinner [...]
Picnic Cucumber Salad

We served this at our pie-eating contest, but it’s good for picnics when you want something that won’t spoil easily.
This is a very easy and very refreshing way to use up some of the extra cucumbers that many of us still have popping up in our CSA deliveries. It’s another great side dish for [...]
(Tired of Pie) Peach Blueberry Filo Turnovers

It was peaches again in the farm share this week, and although I love summer fruits, it’s been so hot and humid this week that I’ve been more interested in eating the cool cucumbers and lovely tomatoes they’ve sent along instead.
So now, I have some peaches, and no desperate pie making going on. I [...]

My partner Charlie and I are the type of people who are modern hippies, I suppose. As I mentioned a few days ago, we almost never use paper plates or plastic forks. We recycle and we reuse a pretty dramatic amount. We joined a farm share, or community supported agriculture community this year. Hell, [...]
