Late summer means steamy days, swimming holes, and the juice of fresh, ripe fruit dripping down your chin.

It seems that winter is grudgingly releasing its’ grip. Finally the snow is giving way to rain and the sun graces our evenings once again.

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 …
These pretty little scones are a tasty and festive treat for the 4th of July. They are great for breakfast or dessert and pack well for picnics and outings. Best made a day ahead of time, the recipe is very forgiving and can be adapted to what you have available. I have made these with …
Things are starting to grow. Finally the weather is warm enough to allow the green to begin to show. It will be interesting to see how the green grows this year given the events of last summer. Hurricane Irene rained down upon Vermont and flooding changed the landscape.
