Dandelion pesto is one of my favorite ways to use dandelion greens. I get a head start on wild harvesting dandelions thanks to the high tunnel. While the dandelions outside are still dormant under the snow the “weed” dandelions that managed to grow in the tunnel are weeks ahead. Thanks…
This is not my recipe. I’m not sure it’s Mum’s recipe but it’s the Chocolate Dump Bars I grew up on. These bars mix up in one bowl, are spread into a 9″ x 13″ pan, and have few ingredients. If you’re in a rush, need something for snack after…
Regular pancakes made with highly processed white flour are delicious. They are. There’s no denying that. They leave you feeling full but then, like Chinese food done American style, you get hungry not long after leaving the table. These Whole Wheat pancakes will leave you feeling full and they’ll stay…
Rabbit sausage, or in my case, snowshoe hare sausage, is a versatile sausage that can be used in a lot of recipes. We don’t have wild rabbits in this part of Maine. There are so few cottontails that they are considered endangered in Maine. I’ve talked before about the need…

Potato & Veggie Home Fries Oh how I love incorporating fresh veggies from the garden or farmers market into a dish where it’s least expected. One of my weaknesses is a crispy brown pan home fry. I don’t think I’ve ever met a potato I didn’t like. Now add in…
I love fritters. Love them, especially while they’re still warm. I like the sweetness of the apples combined with the savory breakfast sausage. Sausage & Apple Fritters are a nice side for breakfast or lunch, or alone as breakfast on the go. I’ve grabbed a fitter on the way out…
Pumpkin Chowder It’s damp and cool this morning, 46°, and I’ve been working on firewood. I want comfort food today even though I don’t particularly need comforting (but my muscles might by the end of the day), something warm and satisfying. The New England Pie pumpkins we were given were…
Strawberry Rhubarb Cookie Bars Early summer, the magical time when strawberries and rhubarb are ready to be picked at the same time. It’s a short window here on the homestead. Rhubarb pops up as soon as the ground thaws but strawberries are much later in breaking dormancy. Rhubarb starts to…
