Remember all my foraging and brewing adventures? Well… I currently have about a pound and a half of buckwheat sprouting for my next GF beer experiment. Fun! But it doesn’t look like anything special yet, so let’s focus on the other works in progress đ About a week ago, I started a ginger bug. You may…

Foraging Fun!
I have always said that I want as much of my yard to make food as possible. I garden a little more every year, and there are wild blackberries in my woods, but I’ve decided to take it a step further and put the wildflower to good use đ My current home brewing kick has…
Adventures in Homebrewing… the backstory
Back in December 2008, my boyfriend at the time gave me a homebrew kit for Christmas. It was awesome. I recruited all my friends to start saving bottles, and once we were on track to having 50 I made an oatmeal stout, which was delicious. They kept saving bottles for me (it was grad school… you know…
Millet with Massaged Kale and Roasted Chickpeas
I know, I know… I haven’t posted in a while. My time at home has been mostly spent cleaning, super boring adult stuff like doing taxes, and fun things like watching the chickens learn what their wings are for and playing with the rest of the pets. Oh, and I found a roommate! The spring…
Dairy Free Hollandaise!
I had some salmon fillets and fresh asparagus in the fridge, and I knew I wanted to eat them for dinner. I often roast some sweet potatoes (or new potatoes) or make risotto to go with it, but I wanted to branch out a bit tonight. Since I’ve been on a poached egg kick, I…
Totally from scratch “Funfetti” cupcakes (gluten and dairy free, of course)
I don’t remember how it came up, but a few days ago I was talking to a friend and I mentioned Funfetti cake. He had absolutely no idea what it was. I then told this story to another friend, who also had no idea what it was. What kind of depressing childhoods did they have!?…
Baked Egg in a Spaghetti Squash Nest
I’ve never known for sure if breakfast is the “most important” meal of the day, but these days it is most certainly my favorite! As I mentioned in my last few posts, I love to repurpose leftover chicken, rice, or whatever else I have in the fridge to make new exciting meals. This morning’s adventure involved a desire…
Miso for Breakfast?
I have no idea where I first read about this, but over the last few years it has become one of my favorite breakfasts. It’s perfect on a chilly morning, or when you feel like a cold is coming on, or whenever you realize you shouldn’t have finished that bottle of wine the night before đ…
The Many Lives of Roast Chicken
Now that you’ve heard all about my favorite way to roast a chicken, I thought I’d take a moment to discuss how I use it throughout the week. I am sure some families can eat a chicken at one meal, or at least over the course of a day or two, but I live alone. A…
Roast Chicken
… so much for that goal of posting something every day! After spending so long snowed in alone at home, I happily took a few days away from the computer to start to feel like myself again. I spent part of that time repurposing the extra bread I had made. I made french toast one day,…
I escaped (and made pho)!
Yesterday late afternoon/early evening, as the sun was getting low, I took another walk up the road with Lenny. I was delighted to discover that the warm temperatures during the day had cleared the roads pretty well. I was desperate to leave, and figured my window was limited to before sunset (didn’t want to risk all…
And on the 4th day, she made focaccia…
Day 4 of being snowed in. Desperately trying to keep up morale. I was hoping I could make it to work today. I knew it was unlikely, but I decided to take Lenny for a little hike out of the subdivision to check out the roads. I found ice, ice, and more ice. Lenny had a…
