Sun-Dried Tomato & Herb Bagels

SUCCESS! I had a successful fail with these bagels a few weeks ago, and managed to find time to re-try with some significant changes to the process and recipe. The last batch was good, but these ones are glorious! The best part, they can be done in a single day. Let’s jump into it. INGREDIENTS…

Rhubarb Curd

I grew up enjoying lemon curd made by my gran. Since I am trying to enjoy more of our rhubarb, I decided to see if there were any recipes out there for a rhubarb curd. There were! Lots. I decided to compare some of those recipes to the lemon curd recipe I had. For the…

Oma’s Rhubarb Cake

Technically, this is someone else’s recipe from their Oma. But, I had an Oma, and I made some variations to the original recipe, so I am rolling with the “Oma’s Rhubarb Cake” name. The original recipe that I found for this was very basic. It lacked spices, though it did seem to get a lot…

Herby The Scalloped Potato

Ingredients Directions: Chit Chat Portion It is Thanksgiving here, and we are enjoying the sunny, cool days this weekend with some fishing and family time.

Cheesy Broccoli Soup

This is our first year growing broccoli and when the weather briefly cooled to fall temperatures, it made us want to make soup. My co-worker brought in some cheddar broccoli soup, which I had to have. So we harvested some broccoli and made some soup. We paired it with some Zucchini Herb Scones, which was…

Rotkohl

The cabbage this year didn’t do great in their new spot. I am realizing that the corner of the bottom bed may not be good for plants of the cabbage family. I did however, get enough from the 6 plants that I was able to make a big batch of Rotkohl. It is a German…
