The Handsome Husband came home from work early yesterday. He ended up preparing dinner. That in itself {the making dinner part} was huge. I should have broke out the party blowers and confetti. The man has prepared 2 meals this year. And yes, I keep track. It’s kind of hard not to. If I didn’t Read More >>

This morning I headed out to the garden on a mission. My mission was to pull up all the Crimson Giant Radishes. We’ve been snacking on radishes on and off for the last month or so, and honestly, I’ve had my fill. So I decided to see if the food bank would take them. I Read More >>

This year my goal is to grow 2,000 pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables. I think I can do it.

I cannot remember a time when we have had such a large variety of fresh fruits and vegetables in the house. Even at the peak of summer harvest, the selection isn’t this vast. I’ve been feeding my family “chicken scraps” for the last 5 weeks and I still find it mind boggling. Last weeks edible Read More >>

We aren’t huge meat eaters, so one of the ways I like to sneak a lot of protein into our meals is with black beans. This recipe I found several years ago from the Food to Live By cookbook is one of our favorites. If you really wanted to, you could serve this with chips, Read More >>

Back in early April, I built 5 potato towers. The construction was simple. I used wire, dirt, straw and a few seed potatoes for each potato tower. Fast forward about 5 weeks, and as you can see it was finally time to add a second layer to the potato towers. To do this I simply Read More >>
