The mornings this week have been frosty and light filled. I wake to the sound of our old furnace rumble on and force warm air through the single upstairs vent. It’s in the center of the hallway and the only way for any room to actually heat up is by keeping the bedroom door wide… Continue reading Unique cookie recipe

Wedges for everyone
Currently, if you were to walk into my kitchen you would see giant piles of dark green, orange, and stripped squash pretty much taking over the entire counter. It was my first year growing winter squash and I put in several plants of some of my favorite varieties, including several kinds of acorn and delicata.… Continue reading Wedges for everyone
Homemade pasta with sauce recipe
September is such a special month, but it’s a confusing one too. The calendar marks it as the start of the Fall season, yet it doesn’t quite seem to feel like the end of Summer. There’s the obvious rush of back to school season, the shorter evenings, the familiar crispness to the morning air, not… Continue reading Homemade pasta with sauce recipe
Winter soup recipe
The weeks are folding into themselves and ever shortening. The other day I told Jared how amazing I thought it was that every year my body instinctively wants to go into hibernation mode. The sun is now setting at around 6:22pm and it’s right about that time that I want to curl up with a… Continue reading Winter soup recipe
Blueberry tarts
It was on our way home from a surf session last week and after wolfing down the food we each brought, that the topic turned to food… as it usually does when one has spent several hours in freezing water and is still very hungry. Our friends son mentioned that he was headed to his… Continue reading Blueberry tarts

To the elderly man at the ferry terminal; you sat on the bench adjacent from us, surrounded by your family. You wore dark trousers and a long sleeve black and red plaid button down shirt. Attire that seemed much too heavy for the for the warm summer day. We had just raced back to the… Continue reading Bundt cake recipe
Yogurt redefined
This has been breakfast of late. Yogurt, topped either with homemade granola or muesli, the later sometimes literally being thrown haphazardly by handful measurements of oats, nuts, and seeds on top and accompanied by seasonal fruit. I do have to say though, that in the year that we have moved into our house with a… Continue reading Yogurt redefined
Summer garden
Its happened again. That first dappling of sunshine that soon stretches into long, warm evenings has reached out and grabbed hold of my hand and beckoned me out into the world. It seems sooner than when it came last year, so I’m checking in now to tell you that, well… definitely do not expect to… Continue reading Summer garden
Unique pizza recipe
Jared and I went hiking this last weekend and the higher elevation brought with it emerging fiddlehead ferns. Each young green shoot seemed to reach out, just beginning to unfurl it’s wild main, before springing open to greet the sky. They’re hard to miss even if you’re not really looking for them. We picked just… Continue reading Unique pizza recipe
Cool down with a mint tea
I thought I was going to be sharing a broccoli recipe with you today, but if you’re in the area, you’re with me when I say hello sunshine! So I changed my mind and went with something a little more refreshing. I’ve been playing around with the herbs currently growing in my garden. The perennial… Continue reading Cool down with a mint tea
