Pumpkin pie is one of my favourite desserts, and the recipe from my “The Little House Cookbook” seemed like the perfect way to use the pumpkins we grew in our garden this year.

Funky Fermentation
Lately I have been dabbling in wild fermentation and had some amazing results. The most recent project has been a whole wheat sourdough starter that I have been making bread with. If you are not familiar with the term, a starter is water and flour, that you mix and let sit for many days, and then “feed” it more flour daily to build it up.
Rack o’ Lamb
Some dishes are pure classics. Like a perfectly seared and roasted rack of lamb. Last week Jamie cooked us up a rack of the Ovation Lamb and it was on point, so I thought I would share the recipe with you lovely folks. Of course little chef and little sous chef wanted to be in […]
Baked Chicken Sourdough
I have just decided that raising small children is a lot like being addicted to a hardcore drug. It has amazing ups, and life threatening downs, and you end up doing things in public you never every thought you would.
4 H

Caramels

Top Secret
there is nothing that piques my interest like a top secret recipe stowed away with the young heroine on her journey across oceans to a new life in a strange land
Buttery Carbs as Therapy
This morning little chef woke up at 4:30 am, and after hushing him back to sleep (because under no circumstances was I ready to start my cheerio throwing day at 4:30) I laid in bed unable to fall back asleep. Suddenly in the dark the weight of the world came crashing down on my chest […]
Barf Happens
Let’s start out by me saying, hello. Remember me? I’m that lady that used to make you laugh or cry a couple times a week. Lately I have been a bit quiet…. let me tell you why. As I hope you remember I am pregnant again with another one of James’ love goblins, and let […]
