Yesterday, while sorting through my recipe box, I found something totally unexpected: a recipe from my mom on how she made Hardee’s biscuits. Mom died in 1996, and though there’s always some kind of memory I have of her daily, this was especially poignant. I guess because the page is written in her hand. For… Read More
Say hello to Kelly! Q. What are your favorite things to cook? They’re certainly nothing extravagant, but one of my favorite things to cook is breakfast burritos. I use eggs from our chickens, potatoes from our garden and sausage or bacon from our pigs. It is so satisfying to serve my family food that we… Read More
We have an underground stone root cellar. It’s one thing I love about old farmhouses. I love old farmsteads!

My MIL made the only thing I actually liked using the old fashioned citron fruit mix – a very soft cookie. Not a bar, just a regular cookie. Not particularly spicy, and more sponge cake like than a normal cookie. For some reason, the citron tasted good in this particular cookie. Other than in this... Read More
When I was a kid, my aunt used to can crab apples that I loved. Never thought to ask her for the recipe when she was alive, but a friend has a crab apple tree so loaded with crab apples, that some of the branches are touching the ground. When she told me that I... Read More
