Merry Christmas week everyone! Are you feeling festive yet? Thanks to a couple weeks of hikes on beautiful snowy trails and a massive cookie baking day with my mom (where we went completely insane and made nearly 900 cookies during one very-long day), I’m totally feeling in the holiday spirit. I’m glad we’re back in…

Watermelon Radish Avocado Toast
These beautiful toasts are the happiest little snow day treat. I don’t know what it is about the first big snow fall of the season, but now that we’ve got several inches on the ground in Southern Wisconsin I’m deeply attracted to vibrant, colorful foods. I was on a brown kick for much of November…
Sourdough & Salami Dressing
Thanksgiving is officially almost a week away and though I know many of us are still mourning the loss of the traditional Thanksgiving celebrations we can’t be having, I’m somehow applying my usual dose of adaptability and enthusiasm to the situation, finding myself much more focused on the celebrations I can have than those I…
Maple Brown Butter Apple Crisp
It’s November!!!!!!!!!! The most cozy, wonderful, nourishing month of the year. Am I right?! Yeah, I’ve heard not. Two years ago, I learned that not everyone relishes November with as much enthusiasm, coziness, and unbound joy as me. A handful of folks actually told me I was completely wrong about my passion for November. They…
Fall Grain Bowl with Millet & Mushrooms
Yesterday we officially said goodbye to the 2020 season by sending off 2500 pounds of produce off to our storage share members. There is pretty much nothing left in the fields to harvest or sell, and the majority of our fall clean up has been completed. Life has officially slowed enough that I can come…
One-Skillet Turnip, Mushroom & Rotisserie Chicken Pot Pie
Hello friends, it’s been awhile. How are you? Have you been enjoying the changing leaves and falling temps? Here in Wisconsin we are having some of the best fall colors we’ve had in years and it feels like a gift to us all for surviving the madness that is 2020. The past three weeks on…
Shishito & Potato Breakfast Bake
Life on the farm has slowed way, way down. Typically we meet some sort of gradual slow down in September, but this year feels more like a very sudden stop. The late summer/early fall crops met a very abrupt end and the peak fall greens, roots and brassicas are arriving a bit later with such…
Roasted Potato & Kale Salad
Wowee! It is cold outside. Here in the Midwest, we went from high summer (temps in the high 80s and overwhelming tomato abundance) to deep fall (like the “should we turn the heat on” kind of fall day) in the blink of an eye. And honestly, all of Wisconsin is not really sure how to feel…
Summer Salmon Cobb Salad
A couple weeks ago we gave the most beautiful heads of summer romaine to our CSA members and I was just giddy about it. The addition of romaine into our August CSA boxes made me feel like a whole new world of recipes had opened up– BLTs, lettuce cups, wedge salads, cobb salads, all the…
Nacho Bowls with Easy Hot Pepper Queso
Lord, save us all. I learned how easy it is to make queso. And I’m about to teach you. And now we’re all going to have to try to resist eating nachos for dinner every single night of pepper season. Seriously, I apologize in advance. I just couldn’t keep the secret to myself. And in…
