Dessert for dinner on this fine spring evening! Strawberry Almond Buckle with the first of our local strawberries. I know some people like a streusel topping on their fruit buckles, but I am a dessert minimalist and like mine sans streusel and with just a scoop if vanilla ice cream. But you can't go wrong either way!🍓 Recipe coming soon! 🍓

I quick-pickled some radishes and carrots today. 🥕 They're sweet and sour, with a crunch that makes them a great topping for tacos, Buddha bowls, or pulled BBQ chicken. #wecanpicklethat

I've been playing with using spelt flour in my baking lately and I came up with a recipe for these healthy(ish) Spelt Banana Muffins Sweetened with Honey. I think they turned out delicious! #bakingfromscratch #bananabread #muffins

I just love simple cookies like these Old-Fashioned Ginger Snaps. They may not be fancy, but they sure are delicious.. They have a spicy, gingery bite and a bit of sweetness from molasses and brown sugar. You can find the recipe on the blog. #holidaybaking #cookies #cookiesofinstagram

Cranberry Apple Chicken Salad for lunch today. It's not only delicious but also a frugal lunch alternative to deli meat. I can whip this up from staple ingredients I always have in my fridge and pantry. #pantrycooking #lunchtime

I got my cabbages in the ground a little late this year, but I think they're coming along nicely. Cabbages seem to benefit taste-wise from being a little bit frost-kissed, but I'm hoping they're ready before our first real hard frost! Grow little cabbage, grow! #cabbage #growyourownfood
