I make five kinds of mac & cheese. I number them according to the order I learned how to make them. No one really knows the logic, but my husband always asks, "Are you making #3??" It's his favorite, and if pressed, I'd say it is mine, too. This is the mac & cheese you… Continue reading Mac & Cheese #3

Wilson Tulip Farm
My family owned a 40 acre farm at the corner of 170th and Baseline in Beaverton, Oregon for almost 90 years. In that time we sold everything from turkeys to corn to tulips. Three generations of our family grew up there chasing pheasants, raising animals and shelling peas. Our people were born and have died… Continue reading Wilson Tulip Farm
Time to order seeds!
If you have ever spent a cold February afternoon pouring over a newly arrived seed catalog... you probably don't need to read this post 😉 If you have been looking at your yard and refrigerator the past few weeks and thinking, "You know, I'd like to pick a fresh tomato from my own yard this… Continue reading Time to order seeds!
Dinosaur Excavation
I saw something like this on Pinterest.com the other day and thought the kids might like it. We waited until the weather was a little sunny and moved the activity out onto the back porch, though I think you could probably do it inside (if you have a big enough bathtub). Start with a large… Continue reading Dinosaur Excavation
White Bean and Bacon Soup
I don't always make bean soup, but I keep acquiring dried beans, so I decided to prioritize them this year. You can grow beans that are specifically for drying and shelling, or just let your regular beans grow out. These particular beans were salvaged from a row of Kentucky Blue green beans I let go… Continue reading White Bean and Bacon Soup
Lemon Meringue Pie
I landed my husband with a Lemon Meringue Pie. Well sort of. There was a now famous birthday party where the host (a mutual friend) told his guests to arrive bearing a pie, a talent to perform, and quarters. I understood what was happening with the talent. still not sure about the quarters, but there… Continue reading Lemon Meringue Pie
Perfect Pie Crust
I know, from speaking with some of my friends and clients, that people find pie crust a little intimidating. My grandma was a big pie maker. My cousins and I have been making pie crust from scratch since we were in the single digits, so it's took me a while to really understand this. Pie-making… Continue reading Perfect Pie Crust
Don’t fear cabbage, make cole slaw!
I got a great deal on a head of old cabbage the other day. There are only two things I think of when I see a head of cabbage... fish tacos and cole slaw. I actually hated cabbage as a kid, picking it out of anything containing it. But one summer I grew cabbage for… Continue reading Don’t fear cabbage, make cole slaw!

Potato Corn Chowder
For the life of me I can't remember where I picked up this recipe. The only thing I remember is being MEZMORIZED by the aroma of simmering onion, celery, and fresh thyme... Most soups call for the mire poix to be onions, celery, and carrots, but this one with it's savory thyme is a lovely… Continue reading Potato Corn Chowder
