As you may be aware, I am eating an anti-inflammatory diet to help answer a few health questions. The bulk of my diet, aside from a nummy smoothie, has been greens and sprouted grains. In order to make life easier on myself, I end the weekend by prepping food. This is as easy as unloading …
Fellow jelly folks can probably relate to having a number of un-gelled jars lurking around. Sure, I can call it syrup and pretend I meant to do that, but I would just be lying. And truthfully, I am not a very good liar. Instead, I like to repurpose my mistakes. Turn them into something spectacular …
Nut’ n Berry Smoothie. AKA: allergy free protein smoothie. Tall-Dark and Handsome calls it the Ugly Berry Smoothie. Remember when I lost my taste buds? I am still troubled by it. Some of the lingering effects of my condition include constant itchiness and the inability to eat anything remotely spicy (a tragedy!). In an effort …

Rosemary Garlic Chablis Wine Jelly is a personal favorite and very first Potlicker flavor. The jelly itself is inspired by an apple rosemary jelly from a family friend. In fact, she is the hostess with the mostess. I imagine that she would serve this Apple Pecan Rosemary Baklava at her very posh parties. This is …
A few of you admired my tartlet shells from the tasting at the Woodstock Farmers Market over the weekend. Perfectly bite-sized, each one is just larger than the size of a quarter. Fill the shells with just about anything and you have the cutest little appetizer or dessert. After many years of passing appetizers at …
Ta-Dah! Baby arugula, breakfast radishes, chives, and violets. This is my very first garden salad of the year. And FINALLY! I might add. I am so tired of frozen vegies. Yes, I could go purchase all the fresh veg I want (and I do) but it just doesn’t taste the same as my own hard …
This is my favorite volunteer day soup. Beginning last fall, I spend a couple of hours every Wednesday morning hanging out at the South Royalton Market. Actually it qualifies as volunteering but really it is a great opportunity to ‘get off the farm’ and socialize. The South Royalton Market is a full-service grocery store offering …
The past couple of weeks have flown by! Before I completely jump back into reality, I would like to share just a few photos with you and take a minute to congratulate the love of my life on a spectacular achievement. This silly little side trip to law school brought us to Vermont. In the …
My house must stink. I know I stink. There has been a lot of garlic through here lately. I’ve been creating garlic balsamic jellies and pickling sweet garlic (I will be taking both items to the farmers markets!). I have also been eating lots of raw garlic. I thought that I could use a little …
Today is a dreary New England day. I thought that I could transform it from dreary into cozy with a bowl of oxtails and a loaf of bread. Truthfully, I haven’t seen much oxtail up here, so when I saw it at the market, I jumped on it. Is it just that I haven’t noticed …
