Welcome to My Kitchen

This is the place that I love to be. I like to be creative and cooking is what is doing it for me these days. It's kind of a necessity and it makes me feel accomplished. I like knowing what we are eating and where it comes from. I go out of my way to make sure this happens.
I like that I don't buy several household staples from a grocery store. I enjoy making applesauce, jams and jellies, apple butter, spaghetti sauce, spicy mustard, pickles and anything else I can.
I like getting dirty, getting my hands into things, feeling and experiencing my food from the beginning to the end. I like making things, growing things and bringing those two together to create a healthy meal. I like nourishing others and knowing that I did my best to give them the best.

The First CSA Basket

I took the kids to pick up the first CSA basket today.  We got the extra treat of meeting the farmer, walking the fields to see all the coming crops and picking peas.  Included in this week's basket are a few types of lettuce, broccoli, radishes, kale, pac choi, Chinese pea pods, onions and garlic.  I will be looking up some new recipes this week as I have never cooked with kale, pac choi or garlic greens.  I am looking forward to some new tastes and I think since the kids were so involved, they will be more likely to try some of these new things.
