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. …
Happily browsing the shiny aisles of my local grocery store, a beautiful basket of blue potatoes stopped me in my tracks. How can I resist tight skins over firm blue flesh? I couldn’t. Those little babies belong to me. I have a weakness for potatoes in any form: red, white, blue, mashed, baked, or boiled. Lucky …
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 …
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 …

I occasionally baste the pears …
This pie will rock your world! It is remarkably easy to make, not too sweet, and allergy friendly (with the HUGE exception of tree nut allergies). It is also dairy free, can be gluten free, and suitable for a vegan palate. So how did this wonder-pie come about?? I occasionally get emails with a recipe …
I never understood the apple thing. Then we moved to New England. I mean, growing up in Florida, OJ was THE juice. The only kind of apple cider that I knew or cared about was the sparkling kind that we got as a treat for holidays. The kid friendly champagne, if you will. Tall Dark and …
With us in early winter I was pleasantly surprised that I still had one large pumpkin hanging around refusing to give into the cold. After breaking down the very last fall pumpkin I produced: curry roasted pumpkin seeds, two bags of squash were cubed and frozen, half of the pumpkin was roasted and split for …
I love love love this tangy slaw! I got the inspiration for this slaw while making black eyed pea cakes. I wanted coleslaw, but truly wanted collards to pair with the black eyed peas. At first I did not see any way to tone down the bitter fresh greens, until I remembered a kale salad my sister …
