This recipe comes from my friend Mama JJ’s cousin, Zoe. Well, actually it’s Zoe’s Moms recipe, but I thought it would be weird to say this recipe is from Zoe’s Mom, who I don’t know, but I kind of know her daughter Zoe, but only virtually {does that count?}.

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 >>
