Who loves cooking with their crockpot? Me! It makes cooking on busy days such a breeze. This particular recipe will require additional time at the end for making the rice. I used brown rice, but you can use white rice if you prefer. Another great way to cut down on cooking time… buy the pre-made…
We’ve been eating our body weight in fresh veggies these days. Between the little farm stands all over the neighborhoods in Red Wing, and the downtown Farmer’s Market (that we are fortunate to be able to visit every day, and not just on the weekends) we’ve been enjoying the freshest, most wonderful produce imaginable. YUM.…
Hello, Lovelies! Here’s another yummy, easy way to use up some of that fresh mint that’s taking over your garden. I’ve been using ours to make: FRESH MINT TEA, HERBAL SIMPLE SYRUP, CARROT SALAD, REFRESHING SUMMER TEA SANDWICHES, WATERMELON & GREEN TEA FRESCA, WINE SLUSHIES, TABBOULEH SALAD, MELON WITH MINT, HEALTHY POTATO SALAD WITH YOGURT…
Beautiful, temperate weather here in the river valley these past couple weeks. It’s been ideal for getting outside, going for walks, and cooking. It’s so much nicer to cook on a day when it’s 70 degrees as opposed to 98. It really, REALLY is. So that’s what we’ve been doing. Cooking, baking, grilling and using…
We had a similar veggie hash at a local restaurant in Bay City Wisconsin. I just loved the name, so I remembered it when creating this breakfast in my own kitchen. Except for the chives, which came from my garden, all of the ingredients are organic and freshly picked at the Red Wing Farmer’s market.…

So far it’s been one of those weeks that we try to get outside to play in the garden, go for walks, and hang out at the park in the morning and evening. During the day it’s been unbearably hot and humid, so Gracie and I have been creating recipes in the kitchen, drawing, painting,…
“They gradually ascended for half a mile, and then found themselves at the top of a considerable eminence, where the wood ceased, and the eye was instantly caught by Pemberley House, situated on the opposite side of a valley, into which the road with some abruptness wound. It was a large, handsome, stone building, standing…
Today Gracie and I strolled downtown to do some antiquing and we found a few awesome treasures. I promise I’ll share photos soon. We popped into the little Mexican grocery store on the corner of Plum and Main to order the ingredients for fresh tamales. (I can’t wait to share my recipe with you…) and…
Gracie and I have been playing in the kitchen. Yesterday we made homemade rhubarb ketchup, magic meatloaf, and pickle relish. Today we’re making a very special chocolate dessert. Do you and your children enjoy cooking together? What sorts of things do you like to make? Here are our recipes for pickle relish made two ways.…
