On this page you will find many of our family favorite recipes as well as some tips and tricks I’ve picked up over the years! I try to prepare many dishes from veggies and fruits I grow in our yard, either fresh or preserved, however, because I live in an area where it gets cold and snowy for a few months of the year I do still have to supplement at the grocery store. Anytime I have used something from my garden I will provide links to let you know all the tips for growing, harvesting, and preserving that item. I will also provide links to some of my favorite appliances and kitchen tools. Feel free to leave comments for more information or with questions!
