Sorry, I messed up on this post regarding the potatoes. Here’s the corrected one:One food item I seldom have to buy is eggs. This week my “girls”/chickens have outdone themselves! And since we just harvested some of our potatoes, I’ll put those and the eggs together with onion, garlic, chorizo sausage and smoked paprika to make a skillet supper for my husband, Frank and myself. … Continue reading Huevos Rotos
As I’ve mentioned before, chatting with Matt Swaim each week on The Sonrise Morning Show/Sacred Heart Radio is always fun and informative. Plus he makes me chuckle with his “Mattisims”. Today we talked about an ancient grain mentioned in Proverbs: FLAX: Proverbs 31:13:. “She seeketh wool and flax and worketh willingly with her hands”. The ancients wove the plant fibers into cloth for making clothes, bed … Continue reading Breakfast Cookies To Go
I thought I was done with fresh peaches after making peach preserves, canning peaches for winter, and making fresh peach pie. Well, I was wrong. Some almost over-ripe peaches found their way to my back kitchen door. Over the summer, this scenario has been repeating itself with various fresh produce, and I’m not complaining! The thing is, with peaches this ripe, they can’t hang around. So … Continue reading Peachy Desserts
Well, it seems like the sweet basils growing in between my tomato rows are the gifts that keep on giving. I trim them back a couple of times a week, but I do let one plant go to seed for next year’s plantings. Some of you have an abundance of basil, too. So let’s make a thicker version of pesto with the basil, and use … Continue reading A Bounty of Basil and Stuffed Pork Tenderloin

In the Old Testament, you’ll find lots of references regarding how people felt religious training was important, so the primary purpose of education among the Jews was the learning of and obedience to the law of God. Of … Continue reading New Recipe Chunky Granola
We’re so proud of our neighbor, Noah, who won first place in her 4H group in the garden vegetable category for her home grown hard neck garlic. Noah now gets to go to the Ohio State fair and compete there! The other day Noah brought me a sample of her tomato basil mozzarella salad. She used her garlic in the salad and boy was it … Continue reading Neighbor Noah and Her First Place Garlic
One of the “noshers” I pack in the cooler when we venture out on summer road trips and family vacations is hummus. And I’m old enough to remember when hummus wasn’t main stream, but an unusual offering on the appetizer buffet. Now you can find hummus in its purist form (mashed chickpeas/garbanzo beans, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil) in grocery stores and delis everywhere. … Continue reading Classic Hummus with a Twist
I have to admit sometimes I can’t remember if I’ve shared a particular recipe with a few, or many of you. This may be one of those instances, so bear with me as I’m pretty low tech still… Today Matt Swaim and I chatted about Father’s Day and how St. Joseph was a most stellar example of a father. “To provide for his family, St. … Continue reading Kofta Kebabs for Dad
