While I love baking projects that challenge me and can keep me occupied for hours, sometimes it is all about speed and ease. Irish Soda Bread takes less effort to make than mashed potatoes and is made from ingredients that I always have on hand. This recipe is as comfortable to me as my old …
Summer is hopping and bopping along. We have been so busy playing with chickens, jamming the canner, and farmers marketing, that I haven’t had time to sow more seeds. No big deal? Well kinda. It means that I will be out of radishes before I know it! I haven’t decided if it is because I …
Dear winter, It just isn’t working for me any more. Even the dog seems tired of the chewy water. Let’s break it off. –K, thanks. While all of you down South are seeing signs of spring, we are still running the woodstove and trying to keep warm. Here is one more recipe/technique that heats up …

The colors of fall are beginning to fade here in VT. It is past time that I begin to put my garden to bed but I still have veggies to harvest. It has been a big month for little jelly and finding the time to spend more than 20 minutes in the garden can be …
The easiest gnocchi ever! I love, love, love gnocchi. The little dumplings can be made of almost anything (potato, cheese, sunchokes, etc) and I will gobble them up. My twin knows my love for gnocchi and she knows my love for simple food. When twin came to visit in August she instructed me on how …
Here in Jelly Land, I am always thinking of new flavors of, and ways to use, jelly. When people ask me what to do with all the jelly they have at home, I often recommend that they use their favorite flavor of jelly as a cake filling. The easiest way to fill a cake is …
