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 …
Cherry Tomato Confit
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 …
Peanut Butter & Jelly Muffins
In need of comfort food? I am. Accident and injury prone me has been laid up yet again this year. Â I swear I'm not a complete klutz! Not being able to do things for myself is a huge downer because I am pretty sure that I can do anything and everything when healthy. Â Lucky for …
Green and Grain Stir-Fry
Is your garden over flowing? My greens keep giving and the next round of crops (tomatoes & zucchini) are beginning to ripen en mass. Unless I want to freeze greens in bulk I need to make quick use them. The best ways I know to consume copious amount of greens in one sitting are to …
Roasted Corn Salad with Strawberries
Here is one more summer salad for you. This time it is served up in my toaster oven taco shells.  I love the combination of grilled corn and cold fresh berries. Try this salad with some grilled shrimp, or skip the shells and set it out for spooning onto plates or chow down with some chips. …
Apple Pecan Rosemary Baklava

After many years of passing appetizers at …

Guest post: Potlicker Salmon My dear friend the Potlicker  has been making some of the coolest jellies over the time we have known each other. We started eating them together standing next to the bread warmer at a restaurant …
Potlicker Glazed Ham
ThePotlicker’s Easter Ham Here is one more yummy use for Potlicker Beer Jelly. I used the Hefeweizen with Orange Zest flavor because I was sure that the citrus notes would pair well with clove. If you live outside of  Vermont and my beer jelly is sadly not yet available, substitute apple jelly. The jelly makes …
