Soup of the Week – Summer Squash Edition with a Berry Bonus
I love soup during the fall and winter months. My Mom does Soup of the Week at her house in the winter; make a big batch of something wonderful and keep it on hand for meals all week. We did that here this winter, but I never figured on getting hooked on soup in the…

What I’m Reading – An Everlasting Meal
I am late to Mama Kat’s Thursday link-up party, but this week’s writing prompts uh, prompted me to finally post about my current favorite book. For most of the summer, I have been digging into the pages of Tamar Adler’s An Everlasting Meal. I thought that I would wait to post here until I had read every…

CSA Pickup Day Pasta
I’ll bet you’re thinking that this pasta is going to have tons of farm-fresh veggies in it. Nope. Actually, none. But we’ll get to that in a minute. Pickup has been a lot of fun. We are seeing a much wider variety of veggies in our CSA delivery lately. In the last few weeks, we’ve seen cabbages,…

Wordless Wednesday with the Rotten Cats
Because when Cat Three does this at the camera right before diving into the bag… …you have to post a picture. Cat One wasn’t quite as amused.

Hidden Talents
Sometimes, people give gifts to other people that may not necessarily be the best choice for the recipient. The thought may be completely generous and well-intentioned, but sometimes the gift and the recipient are just not a match. On Easter Sunday, my aunt brought Kidzilla a cute little fabric Easter basket that contained two tiny…

Soup of the Week – First Summer Edition
I know what you’re thinking. Who makes soup in the summer? Aside from the rather obvious choice of gazpacho, does anyone really think soup in the summer? Apparently, I do. I wasn’t actually thinking soup when I found this one. I was thinking “what the heck am I going to do with all of this…

Still Here
Somehow, the last week has completely slipped away from me… I think we have just been caught up in enjoying the summer break in various ways. I have a handful of half-written posts detailing some of our excursions and activities and I hope to get them posted for you very soon. In the meantime, the…

Growing Up
I looked around the room at the other Mommies and Daddies. Mostly, it was Mommies. Younger, older, shorter, taller, heavier, thinner, dressed for work, dressed in what had to be pajamas…they were all the same. One by one, they dropped off children for the first day of Vacation Bible School. Some came in with the children,…

It’s Not Easy Having Greens – CSA Update
We picked up our fifth week of CSA veggies today – not sure how it’s possible that we’ve been doing this for over a month already! I’d be lying if I said the amount of greens and lettuce was totally manageable…the early weeks of the CSA are clearly heavy on greens and not a whole…

Happy Birthday Blog!
So, my little blog passed its one year mark yesterday. It happened without much (OK any) fuss. I just kind of looked at it last night and said, “Oh, hey, how about that?” I’m sure there are lots of reflective points I could make here about the last year, but I think I’m still doing…
