Ham and Cabbage Soup
Ham and Cabbage Soup is a family favorite that has been passed down through the generations. Turn a leftover meaty hambone into a dish that will have you going back for another bowl. This post has been updated with new pictures and such. Whenever I see or smell ham and cabbage soup, I think about a brief moment in time (late 80’s perhaps?) when my parents dove head ...
Cabbage Strudel
There is a bag of dirt on my kitchen floor and little cups of seedlings in my window. My garden has been generously turned over and tilled by a neighbor. I have drawn out my plans for this year’s planting, hoping that this season will be better than last season. I have vowed to stay on top of the weeds and the squash bugs and construct a fence to keep the critters and the ...
Shrimp Tacos with Jalapeno Slaw
Right now, in my mind, I am on vacation. I am not actually on vacation, I am somewhere towards the beginning of what will eventually turn into the busiest, most stressful, and exhausting month of my life. The month of May has now been dubbed Hell Month. Do you ever have one of those months? Where you just stare at your calendar in disbelief and wonder how all of this got ...

I love love love to can. If I loved cleaning as much as I love canning, my house would sparkle. It would look like all of those pictures on Pinterest where everything is neat and organized with cute little labels.

Sauerkraut and how to make it
A large part of my mother's family was German so that meant that sauerkraut was a common site on the dinner table. I always loved that sour tang that always paired so well with meats and between my mother and I, we could eat our weight in the stuff. So when we finally moved back to the country last year, cabbage was high on the list of veggies to grow just so that I could try ...
Roasted Broccoli and Brussels Sprouts
Roasted Broccoli and Brussels Sprouts is a quick and easy addition to any meal. Covered in cheese and bacon and then roasted to perfection, these are not your grandmas Brussels sprouts. I'm a little late to the Brussels Sprouts train. They aren't really in season but they are in my grocery store and I couldn't pass them up. I love Brussels sprouts. I had my first one ...
Asian Marinated Flank Steak and Bok Choy
The beginning and the end of the growing season can sometimes be challenging for those who are intimidated by green stuff. Fall and Spring veggies are nothing but green. Fall veggies are slightly more varied with the appearance of winter squashes and pumpkins, but this late in the season lettuces, cabbages, spinach, and greens make up the majority of any CSA basket in the ...
Pot Roast with Sweet and Sour Cabbage
I've got big plans for today. Big ones I tell you! The kids will be headed off to school for a couple of hours and you know what I am going to do? Clean like a woman possessed. I will be cleaning gunk that has accumulated over the last few months. I will be cleaning things that are impossible to clean while two certain children are home. It's going to be me and my ...
