Favorite Meatballs

For some reason I have struggled for a long time to find my favorite, go-to meatball recipe. I have tried so many and they either make TONS, which I don’t really have time to do, or they come out too dry, or don’t have enough flavor or are too...

Slow Cooker Apple Butter Chicken Thighs

I don’t know about you, but I am thoroughly embracing fall at the moment! I’m excited for all the fall foods and flavors, enjoying the cool, crisp mornings and anticipating lots of fun family outings with the kids. We love going apple picking, visiting the pumpkin patch and all...

Frozen Parsley

As summer is coming to a close and I am wrapping up our gardening season, it seemed appropriate to share one of my favorite ways to preserve a portion of our harvest to use throughout the winter. In addition to this process saving money by preserving the herbs I...

Banana Peach Sourdough Muffins

I love baking sourdough bread and keeping my starter around. It makes so many delicious things! I’m also always looking for new ways to use the discard. While I love baking bread, I certainly don’t do it every week, and I love finding other ways to use the discard...

Summer Spaghetti

Cucumber Salad

I think I could make this recipe in my sleep! It is such a summer staple from my childhood that is super easy and a great way to use up garden cucumbers when they suddenly start flooding the kitchen. It’s a light and refreshing side dish that goes with...
