Baked Squash Casserole, food from my garden
Squash casserole is one of my favorite comfort food dishes. When I was a teenager, my Mother and I would go to a restaurant called “The Black-eyed Pea” and order veggie plates. Plates full of broccoli rice casserole, fried okra, cheese-y broccoli soup and the most amazing squash casserole. It was one of our favorite …
Garden Gab, week 2, 3 and….
Happy Friday the 13th Peeps! may your day be nothing like the long running horror movie series. Meh. It’s been a while since I’ve posted a regular garden update. Surgery can do that to a girl. Here are some pictures of my garden’s progress. The raised bed garden is doing much better than the in …
Rainy Day Garden Gab
Welcome to rain-apocalypse 2012 at least that is how the weather team on T.V. is treating it. It’s been raining here for a little over 12 hours. Storming, wind howling, thunder booming, lightning flashing, big, cold drops of rain falling. Since we just planted the garden, this is a blessing and a curse. Water …
Caramelized Onion Relish
This week is the 4th week in the canning link-up Allie and I are hosting. I almost made brandied cherries…next time….maybe. I had a busy cooking weekend.

Garden Gab weeks 22 and 23….and freezer jam
So, it’s hot…Yep a shocker I know! Last week, instead of Garden Gab on Friday I posted a whole wheat chocolate cake recipe. I know, the cake was lovely, but it felt strange after 21 weeks of garden posts to not have one last week. So, to correct that and make myself feel better….This week …
Kids ~VS~ Veggies…
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! We had a very nice weekend. School starts today. This is bittersweet. While I am glad to have a little time to myself to chill out, shop or clean…I will miss them. A lot. Since I’ve got kiddo on the brain, I have a kid-centric post for …
Sweet Carrot Pickles
I’m sad to report that the giant carrots seem to be all gone now. For two weekly visits in a row (last week and this week), I have been unable to find the giant carrots at the Farmer’s Market. My son thinks they are freaks of nature, he has not been enjoying the über carrots. …
Garden Gab, week 21….a cool down, a loss and a nursery rhyme

That’s how the nursery rhyme goes, however I was disturbed when I looked up the meaning of the rhyme. It’s about Queen Mary, torture and executions. …
