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 …

2 Wrongs Make the Right BBQ Sauce.
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 …

Spud and Bud Sauted Salad
Such an over looked food source the daylily is! Easy to propagate and hard to control beds can give you plenty of food to play with. I served this yummy dish with pan seared salmon and a stuffed lily but this vegetable sauté stole the show. Collect green buds of the daylily. I would snip …
Refried Skillet Beans
Cooking amazing food is easy with just a little preparation. I cook and garden in a very similar manner, I get a lot done by doing a little bit at a time. Breaking down large tasks into many small ones is so easy for me to do in the kitchen. I might stop every-so-often and …
