Roasted Vegetable Tostadas

Roasted Vegetables

Good morning! As I said on my Facebook page Saturday morning, we had a busy weekend planned since we headed into the big city to spend some time with Hubs kids. We did a little shopping and Saturday night they brought us out to all the cool spots in Minneapolis. We had a great time but of coarse that time went WAY too fast because before we knew it, it was time to head back home. When we left for the weekend I had planned on steaks & roast potatoes for a Sunday supper but I just wasn't in the mood to make a huge

Drunken Cranberries

drunken cranberries

I'm late on this, as I really should have had this up BEFORE Thanksgiving, but I've just been too dang busy to sit down and look at my computer for any amount of time! Today I'm slowly roasting some baby back ribs which gives me some time, so without further ado... I have used wine to deglaze a pan quite a few times, and made bread pudding that was slathered with an awesome whiskey sauce that could just possibly make your heart sing, but up until my Mother and I made this Apple Bourbon Butter I had no idea

End of Season Blues

Fresh Tomatoes

Right now is a hard time of year for me. I absolutely LOVE fall. The crisp weather has me up and outside early even on a frosty morning, but in the same vein, gardening is coming to a close which makes me sad. I keep asking Hubs where our summer went. This weekend we pulled what was left of the red & green tomatoes from the garden. I have all the green tomatoes packed up in the shop for future use, and I slow roasted these babies! Sadly, all that is left in the garden now is lettuce & spinach. There is NOTHING

How My Garden Grows

Jun. 26 2011

We are struggling here in Minnesota to have summer. It has rained almost every day I've been home, and locals are able to count how many HOT days we've actually had so far this year (Only 3 days over 90 degrees). Luckily though my garden is still trying. I think the weeds are trying harder though! I am very pleased with my garden this year. My mom was kind enough to give to me a start of my grandmothers old fashioned rose bush which is something that I always loved about my grandma and spending time at her house. I

Quiche- Yet Another Recipe

Mar. 14 2011

Since my first quiche back in January I've been making more and more of these wonderfully satisfying dishes. Both Hubs and I love them with a bowl of soup or just a good salad. They are so easy & comforting, and you can eat them for breakfast, lunch or dinner. And yet another selling point (like I need one!): you can eat them hot right from the oven or cold on the go! And with eggs rolling in here at the farm, it's yet another way to use them up! The Recipe 4 eggs 1 cup half-and-half 3/4 cup chopped ham 2
