This weekend I had a blast hanging out close to home at the Woodstock Inn. We met new friends, sold some jelly, and enjoyed a beer by the fire while the snow fell. Oh the reasons we love Vermont! I told so many people about how I have been using beer jelly in the crock …
This bread is reminiscent of deep dish cheese bread except it is not as heavy or as greasy. The texture is actually more biscuit-like except with pockets of cheese. When we enjoyed this bread I used Cabot’s Horseradish Cheddar (my absolute favorite Cabot cheese!) but I bet it would be killer with any one of …
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 …
Like pig candy only better!! While making these bacon cookies I was a wee bit skeptical of my own decision making skills and it must have shown. When I asked Tall Dark and Handsome how much bacon I should add to the cookies he said, “What does the recipe call for?” I said “What recipe?” …
Braised mushrooms create a rustic sauce for hearty ricotta gnocchi. This earthy plate is rich, comforting and best served with a glass of bold wine. What makes this dish truly special is the combination of mushrooms prepared in different manners. The minced bits will melt down creating a thick base while the sliced mushrooms (especially …
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 …
My Tall Dark & Handsome has a sweet tooth, and don’t you know that one of my greatest pleasures in life is making that man smile. When I found this cupcake idea on Pinterest I thought they would be perfect for his sweet tooth, my beer tooth and our beer jelly. As expected the beer …
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 …
My garden is over grown and I no longer care. I can still wade through it and find some things growing. I even think I see brussels sprouts starting to rise over the weeds. They are tucked to the back of the garden and I have a hard time getting in there to confirm the …
In the days that I have been injured & off my feet, my garden has been pushing out the tomatoes. Since I cannot wade into the over growth myself (have to keep my bandages clean and dry!) when friends come by to visit I ask one favor of them, “Could you bring in any tomatoes …
