I’ve been doing this thing this winter that I feel immensely guilty about. So I’m just going to come clean and tell you all about it. I have been buying one or two cucumbers a week since we returned from vacation in late January. As a vegetable farmer who knows the abundance of cucumbers I…

Where I’m At + RECIPE: Bacon & Pecan Belgian Waffle
It’s been one hell of a week my friends. One hell of an emotional, exhausting kind of a week. Arriving home in Wisconsin after a picture perfect vacation (much more on this later!) to forty-degree weather and what can only appear to be a spring thaw in mid-January, diving 100 miles per hour into work with a board…
Tomato Season + RECIPE: Tomato Balsamic Jam over Caramelized Shallot & Leek Biscuits with Sage Honey Butter
Never in a bazillion years did I ever think I’d be saying this, but tomato season is just too. damn. short! I mean I only started popping sungolds in my mouth for the first time seven weeks ago and now they likely only have a couple weeks left! Two months of tomatoes?! That is just…
Springtime + RECIPE: Balsamic Strawberries & Cream Sweet Rolls
This spring you guys. This spring is weird. But then again, I’m pretty sure I say that every year. I just want winter to quickly and efficiently turn a corner into green grass and sunshine and mild perfect, Birkenstock-wearing weather. And it never does. It’s Wisconsin. It warms and then it cools and then it’s…
Transitions + RECIPE: Garbage Quiche
Things on the farm are ramping up my friends. We’ve officially transitioned from thinking about things like balance and travel and having a clean home to thinking exclusively about the farm: what we have to do each week, what we need to focus on and what should be prioritized. In case you haven’t been following…
All Whisked Up Take 2 + RECIPE: Vegan Chia Seed Donuts
Remember way back in October when I participated in Wisconsin Whisk‘s first ever recipe swap?! I met Sarah from Food, Fun & Life in Waukesha. I explored her blog for weeks then whipped up her fantastic recipe for Butternut Squash Soup. Well we’re doing it again and this month, I was lucky enough to be introduced to Tara…
Weekends are for Lovers + RECIPE: Banana Bread French Toast
On this perfect it’s-almost-spring weekend, this little weekend lover: Attempted this, but subbed in cauliflower and bacon for the mortadella and changed just about everything else. They need a little work. More news on this later. Attempted an avocado pistachio pesto (because it is March and there is no basil for sale anywhere) then disappointingly…
RECIPE: Working Girl’s Oatmeal
Believe it or not, in addition to farming and blogging and the occasional waitressing shift, three to four days a week I am a working girl. An in-the-city, in-an-office (at least it’s a beautiful non-profit office filled with amazingly beautiful people) working girl. And busy working girls sometimes need a quick go-to breakfast. This oatmeal…
Quest for the Perfect Waffle + RECIPE: Alton’s Perfect Waffle
I have been looking for years for the perfect waffle recipe for my traditional (non-Belgian) waffle iron. Just because I don’t have a Belgian waffle iron, doesn’t mean I don’t still deserve waffles that are crisp on the outside and soft on the inside and somehow equal parts fluffy and dense. A waffle that is…
Spring Fever + RECIPE: Winter Hash & Avocado Toast
Spring fever. Oh it’s in the air. Days are getting longer. Which means my commute home is no longer in the dark and sometimes when I’m feeling extra ambitious, I can even get a little time with the pups on the trail before the sun goes down. And daylight savings, and with it more sunshine,…
