Savoring life in the Berkshires
Making a recipe for July’s Something Borrowed challenge was literally and figuratively a treat. Not only did I get to borrow a recipe from my sister, I got to make it with her live and in person. After 5+ months of living in relative isolation, we were able to visit with my parents, and then…
Every week, I write about how much I love my CSA pick ups and every week I post a menu plan based around the items I get from Mighty Food Farm. Some weeks, including this one, I really struggle to write those plans though. I ordered what I knew would only be around for a…
This is the sweet spot of the summer. I’m just far enough away from the last school year and the coming school year that I can almost ignore both of them. [Almost – staying off Facebook is also helpful in this regard!] The available produce is excellent – tomato season is my very favorite season….

June’s Black Lives Matter Relishments Bakes definitely had the potential to be overwhelming. So many great blogs, none of which I’d checked out before. So many delicious looking recipes! So little time. Thankfully, last month was Brian’s birthday, which meant I had some guidance regarding what I should bake as I poured through the recipe…
I’ve tried to write this introduction three times already, but I really don’t have anything to say! We’re in full summer mode here, which is largely dictated by my 3 year old.
