There’s just something about blue cheese stuffed olives that really sooths my soul and invigorates my appetite, not to mention my cocktail!

The Lost Art of Home Canning
Several years ago, when my wife first mentioned to me that maybe we should “can” some of our green beans – “or they’re going to go to waste”, I wasn’t even quite sure what she meant. She had had some experience with home canning while in a 4-H Club as a young girl. (This page […]
Grandma’s Zucchini Bread
One item that has become an annual staple is zucchini bread, made from a recipe handed down by Heidi’s grandmother. It’s excellent when it comes from the oven, but it can be frozen and enjoyed weeks later. The wait for the long and dark green zucchini is definitely worth it – as is this recipe! […]

Zucchini Frittata Recipe
,One of the greatest things about summer is a garden, the harvest from which really makes it all worthwhile. Some of the more prolific producers for me – aside from perhaps my abundant tomato plants (to make juice and now homemade catsup) – are my zucchini plants. The only problem is, one day I look […]
Au Gratin Potatoes Casserole Recipe
Here’s a recipe for an au gratin casserole that was handed down to my mother by close friends from Bagley, Minnesota, circa 1960. It hasn’t changed much in all those years, except that I’ve swapped American and cheddar for the Velveeta cheese used in the original recipe. Works as a great side for breakfasts and […]
