Faerie Flowers
The real beginning of spring for me is when the Faerie Flowers sprout up overnight on our land, which happened earlier this week. I remember when we first moved here, the land was dotted with these beautiful flowers and it made a lasting impression on me. One day there is only tender green grass and the next day there are little haphazard trails of these delicate little beauties all over, ...
Pickle Lover’s Salad with Hard-Boiled Eggs and Farmer’s Cheese
This salad is a fun and delicious way to use up last year’s pickles, or maybe you are just a pickle junkie like me and have lots of varieties around at all times. Either way, this salad will wake up your taste buds! Pickles remind me of spring. Perhaps it is because you can find a lot of spring produce pickled, like beets, ramps, fiddleheads, etc. As someone who enjoys canning and preserving, I ...
Just Existing is Enough, A Meditation on Earth Day
I saw this little gem on Facebook the other day and it was one of those things that made me just stop for a moment, take a deep thankful breath and smile. Yes. I believe in miracles and I believe that being alive on this planet in this moment is one of them. I believe it is a miracle that we live on a planet that is currently spinning out in the dark vastness of the universe while we sip ...
The Empty Pantry Crazy Delicious Meatball Incident
Sometimes what you don’t know helps you enjoy things you might have a mental block towards or in the case of this post, unknowingly create something delicious in the kitchen, something you never would have thought to try. Something that is slightly funky and pretty weird. When you taste it, the flavor is really good yet hard to place, and you are trying to figure out why it tastes so good and ...
Sweet Potato and Black Bean Quesadillas
Eating certain foods can strike up fond memories and I made these quesadillas to bring me back to the sun and surf of Saint Augustine, Florida and the fabulous weekly farmers market there. I made these a few weeks before we made our annual trip back and it was the perfect lunch to get me in the mood to trade in freezing temperatures and snow for blue skies and palm trees! There are a lot of ...
Scottish Style Oat Cakes & An Outlandish Ploughman’s Lunch
Outlander is a big thing these days. If you don’t know what I am talking about, you are seriously missing out and have either 1) been under a rock for the past 6 months or 2) recently traveled between the stones to this time period and haven’t quite figured out the internet or television yet…but then you wouldn’t be reading this! In reality Outlander has been a thing for years, but mostly for ...
5 Life Changing Things Yoga Has Taught Me
I sometimes refer to myself as a recovering exercise perfectionist or compulsive exerciser. For years I had a rigorous routine and made sure to crack the whip on myself often regarding my performance. Perfectionism is something I have struggled with for most of my life and I realized that I was driven so hard to exercise for the need to fill that perfectionism, clearly an unhealthy act, despite ...
Scotch Eggs with Curry Mayo To Celebrate Spring! (…and how to boil the perfect hard-boiled eggs)
The weather is definitely turning. We went from two months of sub-zero temperatures into the mid 30’s (almost a 70-degree change), literally overnight! The snow is melting and there is a definite shift in the air. Many of our spring celebrations like the Spring Equinox (Ēostre, Ostara), Easter and Passover are just around the corner and I for one am ready for a change of season! Long held ...
Neep (Rutabaga) Fritters
Rutabagas, also known as swedes or turnips in the UK, Scotland and Ireland are a wonderful root vegetable to add to your repertoire. They have an underlying sweetness to them, they caramelize when roasted and are comforting when mashed and mixed with butter and winter herbs, like thyme or winter savory. Rutabagas are different from what we think of as turnips in the US, as they are golden ...
