French Fries Hash
I know sounds weird right?? This morning I didn’t know what I wanted to make for a Sunday breakfast. Hubby had a can of corned beef and I had some left over fries from dinner Friday and this dish was born. I rarely have left over fries, but I did today. Actually you could use any left over potatoes, but let’s stick with the … Read More French Fries Hash
Pan Pizza
Have you ever cooked your pizza in a cast iron skillet? I had a couple times in the past, but was also using my pizza stone. But no more… I made my homemade crust and topped it with goodies a couple days ago and got the best almost deep dish pizza… It was thick and crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside. … Read More Pan Pizza

Summer Tomato Feta Pasta
I have been looking for ways to use some of my garden tomatoes in ways I hadn’t before. I’ve been lucky to get so many this year I’ve already frozen a bunch, but I also want to use some fresh right now. I saw a recipe for a dish similar to this somewhere, but I couldn’t find it so I just did what I … Read More Summer Tomato Feta Pasta
Picking Time
I love the late spring, summer, and fall for a reason… growing and harvesting fresh produce. Whether it is in our own garden or going to support a small farm. While not everyone can do this we feel blessed we can. Yesterday we took a day trip to a new farm to pick peaches, nectarines, and apples. We visited Baugher’s in Westminster, MD. They … Read More Picking Time

Weekend Surprise
We often take a Saturday dive just to check out a new place, visit an old favorite, or find new things to do or place to hike. Yesterday we ran across something you don’t see often… a civil war reenactment. It was neat to see them run drills, talk to kids, and see what camp

Surprise It’s Fall!
I blinked and it is already fall. I don’t know what it is… being so busy, this virus throwing things a little wonky, or just the fact that every year seems to go by faster and faster… but a friend of mine texted me today to say Happy First Day of Fall and I was like “whoa it is already fall”! How did that … Read More Surprise It’s Fall!

Garden Delights
I love to garden and I know many of you do as well. (The worst part is the weeding, but the mulch this year has helped keep that to a minimum.) There are many things I love about gardening. I love to dig in the dirt, plant the seedlings or seeds, watch them grow, and the best part when you get to harvest. I … Read More Garden Delights
