On the first Wednesday of each month we like to pause and take a look at what’s going on in the world around us, with a particular focus on animal activity, celestial events, and our farmers’ fields. September is a great time to take a hike. The extreme heat disappears, rain moves in and cooler temperatures […]
Lemon is our ingredient of the season! Today we’re cooking up a savory dish, and if you like this, you may want to check out our lemon pasta and chicken with preserved lemons. The night before leaving for our big trip east, I roasted lamb shanks as a going away dinner. We were going to be away […]
Today we want to show you how to make pineapple flowers, which are a beautiful and edible garnish that looks fantastic on desserts and happen to be the perfect touch when celebrating your fourth anniversary! Can you believe that those are made from pineapples? Neither could I the first time I saw them! Someone […]
Every season we like to pick one ingredient and find a variety of ways to love it and use it. You can find our complete ingredient archive here. When we think of summer, one of our absolute favorite ingredients is lemons. Think of that first refreshing sip from a tall glass of lemonade. And there’s something […]
Every once in awhile we interview someone doing interesting work In the Field, where we tag along and pick their brain. See past In The Field interviews here.

I attended the Fair Game Beverage Company circus-themed grand opening last summer and it was such a good time! I knew […]
At the end of each season, we take a look back and highlight our favorite posts. See previous Seasonal Bests here. I don’t know about you, but for me fall seemed to creep along during September and October, and then November passed in a flash! I can’t believe that Monday will be December. I can’t put my […]
Apples are our ingredient of the season. We love to eat them, but we also love to preserve them, drink them, and craft with them! It’s about time we shared the staple of all apple desserts ~ a crisp! What’s not to love? They are packed with fruit, covered in a hearty and nutty oat crumb. […]
Apples are our ingredient of the seasons. So far we’ve gone crazy with them in the kitchen, but today we’re filing getting crafty! This year, after taking down our Halloween decorations and while waiting to up a Christmas tree, I was really feeling the urge to decorate. So I put together this simple garland that’s […]
While apples may be our ingredient of the season, cheese is definitely our snack of the season. So far we’ve spent more time exploring condiments to pair with our favorite cheese rather than the vast world of cheese varieties, but we’re ok with that, because these combinations are top notch! With today’s combination, I’m not […]
