The first Autumn after Grey and I got married, I would make a pumpkin pie almost everyday for him—and he would eat the entire thing. I’m not kidding. Keep in mind it was crustless and made with coconut oil instead of butter—but he still ate an entire standard pie plate full of pumpkin pie filling… Continue reading Whole-Wheat Pumpkin Pancakes
*In 2012 we started the zucchini project. This project aims to find different recipes and methods for cooking zucchini—one of the most over abundant crop in home gardens.* Grey is one of those men. The kind that has to have meat at dinner time. It doesn’t really matter what kind:chicken, fish, beef, lamb, turkey..pretty much anything… Continue reading Solution #11: Zucchini Parmesesn
Dear Friends, One year ago today, I posted our first blog post. After Grey and I got married, I tossed around the idea of writing a blog to share the pictures and stories about what was going on (with our newlywed life!) with family and friends. For seven months, I researched “how to write a… Continue reading It’s Our Blogiversary!
Dear Friends, Summer is definitely here! Where we live, it’s been 115 degrees F. Seriously. That’s not an exaggeration. We have to put off some of our outdoor “todos” because it is considered a “dangerous” heat. Saturday, Grey and I spent the entire day inside (with the exception of watering the garden and tending the… Continue reading Our Summer “Bucket list”

The first time we made one was last year, we both tasted it one morning, and our eyes widened with the same “this is really good” expression. It’s like we instantly knew that this was going to be one of the… Continue reading Cherry Coconut Banana Smoothie

Summer is here! The weather is super hot where we live. Some of our tomatoes are already turning, I have to water the chickens… Continue reading Solution #9: Summer Zucchini-Tomato Gratin
Isn’t it hilarious? I have to say, finding unconventionally shaped fruits and vegetables is one of my favorite parts about growing our own food. There is something so organic about it. When Grey came inside with this squatty zucchini last week, I simply looked at him like: “whatta you wanna do with that?” The truth… Continue reading Look What Grey Found in the Garden…
For the last couple of years Grey and Glynn spend a day to help a friend cover his huge cherry tree. I’ve never actually seen this said tree, but have heard that it is loaded with cherries. In return, they bring home some of the fruit. Last year, Grey brought home ¾ of a 5-gallon… Continue reading …and we have cherries.
Lately we’ve been on a quinoa kick. We’ve always liked it, and incorporated into our meals at least once a week, but it’s gotten a little borderline obsessive this week. We’ve recently tried it for breakfast, and have been swapping our regular bowl of steel cut oats in the morning with quinoa made with vanilla almond milk and a… Continue reading Quinoa with Asparagus, Shallots, and Mushrooms
