When Wendy asked me to edit this recipe, I had no idea she meant she didn’t say anything about it! For being so intelligent, she sure wasn’t thinking when she basically gave me free reign to type a paragraph or two (you can take just guess about all the things […]

Oh My So Much Pumpkin
This year there are pumpkins everywhere. How I love the smell of pumpkin cooking and wish it would last throughout the year. Here is one way I get my pumpkin fix for the rest of the year. I make Pumpkin chips and pumpkin powder. My dehydrator is a good friend […]
Easy Peasy Pumpkin Pasta
Each time that I make pasta, I wonder why I don’t do it more often. It really isn’t that much effort and fresh pasta is amazing. I wish that I could say that I came up making pumpkin pasta but the idea came from fellow blogger, Jamie Scott. She is […]
Potato Fennel Cheese Soup
Tuesdays are particularly fun at our house! There’s piano lessons, and of course it is produce ordering night. This particular Tuesday was a special sort of challenge. It involved fence defying goats, hopping fences after them, trudging through recently irrigated muddy mosquito filled pastures, getting the little Ms. Special Pants, […]

When I was a child, we showed horses. Some of the fondest memories of my life were during this time. Believe it or not, this recipe was inspired by these fond horsey memories. I remember going to the Quarter Horse Youth World Show in Fort Worth and ordering these HUGE, […]

Soul Soothing Creamy Chicken Soup
Naturally my stew pack was screaming at me to make a bowl of comforting soup. We got a couple of fallish days (okay… maybe it was just the morning) in Central Texas recently so I promptly pulled out my boots, scarves and made this fabulous soup. This soup really hit […]
Autumn Fennel Slaw
This week we received fennel, red pears and apples in our baskets. I decided to try a more autumnal version of fresh fennel slaw by making an apple cider vinaigrette to dress it. It came together rather quickly and only needed to rest for 30 minutes for the flavors to […]
Fennel Sausage Skillet
While stalking the Bountiful Baskets Facebook page this weekend, I noticed we have some clear lines drawn when it comes to fennel: 1) People who like it and are armed with scrumptious recipe ideas 2) People who weren’t familiar at all with it (what is this leafy, green, dill-looking, […]
Fennel, Tomato and Sausage Soup
I love to share my fennel recipes because fennel is one of those things that gets a lot of confused looks at pickup. I think that fennel is especially yummy in Italian recipes so I whipped up this soup on a recently fall evening. As soon as weather gets cooler […]
