One of the first perennials in the garden to come up in the spring is Rhubarb. These tart red stalks are delicious combined with strawberries in a dessert.

Hot Cocoa Bombs — THM S, Keto, Low-carb, Sugar-free
Hot Cocoa Bombs are the rage right now! If you have never heard of Cocoa Bombs, they are cute little chocolate balls that you place into a mug. When you pour hot milk over the chocolate balls, they melt, spilling out marshmallows, chocolate chips, and cocoa mix. Children just love these and so do adults for that matter!
Buttered Noodles with Saffron, THM S
If you have ever been in any Mennonite or Amish home for a meal you will understand the necessity (they think) of serving Buttered Noodles along with mashed potatoes! Their Pennsylvania Dutch background just loves the carbs and starches. Serving these two together at a meal is a must. Most times this dish is prepared using homemade egg noodles with lots of browned butter. My family loves noodles so I have modified this recipe. It continues to be a favorite, though I almost never serve it along side of mashed potatoes!
Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies, THM S, Keto, Sugar-free, Gluten-free
Christmas is just around the corner and with it comes holiday baking! Baking cookies had always been a part of our family’s Christmas. When I was a young girl, my mother and some of her sisters would get together to bake cookies. Those were exciting times; playing with cousins and tasting all kinds of cookies.
Preserving Food—Marinara Sauce, THM S, Sugar-free, Low-carb
Tomatoes—every backyard garden needs a few plants. You can grow all sizes, shapes, and colors to suit your palate! Tomatoes are one of the easiest veggies to preserve! Let me show you how to make Marinara Sauce.
Broccoli Salad THM S, Keto, Sugar-free, Low-carb
A simple classic Broccoli Salad is always a hit with our family and when taken to community dinners I usually bring an empty bowl home. This salad combines the best of home-cured, smoked bacon, tart cranberries, and fresh broccoli in a creamy dressing. If you would like, you can even add some cauliflower to this salad.
Chicken Croquettes, THM S, Gluten Free, Sugar-free, Keto, Low carb
Chicken Croquettes—did you know you can make them at home? It is really not that hard, either! This is one of the best ways to use up leftover cooked chicken or turkey.
Marinated Tomatoes, THM S, Sugar free, Gluten free
Summer brings with it a bumper crop of tomatoes from gardens and produce stands. Heirloom tomatoes are all all time favorite at our house. They are not the perfectly shaped orbs you will find at the grocery stores. Heirlooms have a shorter shelf life so they are not found in all stores. These tomatoes have a superior taste though they may be very odd shaped.
Preserving Food—Canning Chicken
Canning meat is easier than most people think. It is so handy to have canned meat on your pantry shelves to make a quick meal on busy days. Pop the lid off the jar and you can make Chickenetti, Soups, barbecues, and even pizza.
