Who would have thought 7 weeks ago, that this humble boxed garden with its new soil… …would become such a jungle.

When the weather outside is…90+ degrees…who wants to think about Christmas? But in reality, 6 months is not that far away. If your holiday planning went smoothly last year then you might not feel any urgency to think about Christmas 2011, but if you overspent, shopped at the last minute and paid the price well […]

Our trash pick-up day is Wednesday. So most of our neighbors put their trash outside on Tuesday afternoons or evenings. We noticed the neighbor up the street had put a pink and purple tricycle out on the curb with their trash. My 3 year old already has a tricycle, but the girls and I were […]

Meal time is starting to get more hectic around here. As my kids get older, they are participating in more activities and for some reason they happen around our normal dinner time. I am looking for meal prep short cuts that do not sacrifice the quality of our meals, but still save myself time and […]

How to Make Homemade Whipped Cream

Homemade Whipped Cream adds decadence to any dessert. It is a great replacement for ice cream and it is delightful just eaten out of the mixing bowl with a spoon. I chose to make whipped cream recently with my Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp, because there weren’t any good sales on ice cream that week and my […]

Sausage and Swiss Chard Frittata

Frittatas are so easy to whip up. They are also an opportunity to be creative and clear out your refrigerator all at once. We received the Swiss chard in our CSA box last week and I had some breakfast sausage in the freezer that I wanted to use up. This frittata was so savory and […]

I learned a very valuable lesson at the grocery store yesterday. I had flour on my shopping list. I blew through the ..99/5 lb flour that I stocked up on at Christmas time and I haven’t been able to buy it at that price ever since. As I was about to pick up a 5 […]

The sweet strawberries and the tart rhubarb blend well together in this yummy goodness. If you are unfamiliar with rhubarb, it is a very tart vegetable that masquerades as a fruit in summer desserts.

Finally, this year’s strawberry season has hit central Pennsylvania. I was getting a little antsy as it is about 2 weeks later than usual. Strawberry season is like Christmas for your taste buds.
