Do you have a garden full of Jalapeño Peppers like we do? Would you like to preserve them, without canning them, for another 1-2 months? Then use this recipe to make these Pickled Jalapeño Peppers. Since these are not canned, you must keep them in the refrigerator. If you want to can them, feel free, but on my blog I […]
All that cheese and bacon inside our freshly picked jalapeño peppers from our garden, who wouldn’t love Jalapeño Poppers? These easy to make Jalapeño Poppers are so addictive. I don’t put the seeds in the filling, but if you like it hot go ahead and add them. It’s so funny because I do not like green peppers at all and […]
If you like sesame oil, sesame seed and the slight tangy taste of rice vinegar, you have to try this green bean recipe! We were so happy with the way it tasted with our home grown green beans that I am making it this way again tomorrow! I can’t believe I have gone this long without fixing green beans this […]
This recipe belongs to my husband’s family. In fact he made it and all I had to do was take pictures. His Mom created this recipe for her husband while my husband was still a child.

What a great snack to offer a guest or eat for your lunch! Cucumbers filled with a veggie dip, topped with dill & tomato and surrounded with carrots. It was a lot of fun making this. It turned out so colorful you couldn’t help but want to devour the entire plate. Start by washing and slicing a cucumber. Using a knife, […]
We have had the best harvest of Swiss Chard this year. Swiss Chard is a cross between spinach and kale, but to me it is closer to a spinach taste. Swiss Chard is full of vitamins K, A and C, it is an anti-inflammatory and it helps in managing blood sugar. As you can see, it not only tastes good […]
Chicken salad stuffed into a fresh tomato on a bed of lettuce garnished with fresh basil from the garden …. yummy! You could do the same thing with tuna salad. So simple to make if you make your chicken salad with leftover cooked chicken. What I did is purchase a cooked rotisserie chicken from Sam’s Club. Sam’s Club has the […]
Spinach fresh from our garden! This is the first picking and it was 8 oz of bright green Spinach leaves, just perfect for lunch. It always amazes me how much Spinach cooks down.
