Mint Tea
Mint Tea …just saying that conjures up images of relaxing with a refreshing cup of hot tea or sipping a cup of iced mint tea at the end of a warm summer day. Part of me wonders if I should even be calling this a …

Grilled Mayo/Yogurt Broccoli
This is GAME-CHANGING Broccoli. I know, game-changing is a pretty important phrase – and this is!! I threw this broccoli together on a whim and Mr. Chef and I were so blown away by it that we knew I had to try to recreate it …
Strawberry Rhubarb Jam
This Jam / Jelly is SO easy and bottles up the best of early summer in a way that few other things can. I mean; we all love an amazing Strawberry Rhubarb Pie, but after the first day it isn’t as good. SO – when you make a jam you can enjoy that same amazing fresh flavor day after day (for a least as long as your jam lasts).
When Mr. Chef first tasted this he said it reminded him of the inside of a Pop-Tart (in the best way possible). We typically do not overly sweeten our foods and our kids eat super healthy so although this may have a slightly lower sugar content than other jelly/jam recipes out there it is still PLENTLY sweet for all to enjoy !
Rhubarb Jam
- 3 cups rhubarb
- 2 cups strawberry
- ½ cup sugar
Chop the Rhubarb into small pieces. Dice the strawberries into chunks. Add the sugar right to the fruit and mix well. Allow to sit for 30 minutes until the juices are mostly released
Place the Rhubarb, Strawberries, Sugar, & all the juices into a small pan over medium-low heat.
Stir continuosly for about 20 minutes until you can run your spatula on the bottom of the pan and leave an open path-way, Your fruit should be pretty much all combined into jam without many chunks at this point
Place into a small jar (or jars), allow to cool & keep in the fridge for up to a month.
Feel free to leave out the Strawberries OR leave out the Rhubarb in here as you choose. You’ll need slightly less sugar if you use more strawberries, but the method is totally the same and easy to sub in your favorite fruits.
And I leave you with this, Today’s Question of the Day… What is your favorite way to enjoy Rhubarb OR Strawberries!?

Cottage Cheese Dill Bread
This bread tastes so fresh and delicious and light and airy and reminds me of all the happiness of growing up working at Quiet Valley Living Historical Farm and having fresh baked bread from our Bake Oven.
Sourdough Starter without waste
Scott Weiner of Scott’s Pizza Tours is my Pizza Hero. We took a Pizza Tour with him years ago (and again – because they are SO GOOD) – you should book a tour with Scott one day!!
Sourdough is my ALL TIME FAVORITE Bread! I have always wanted to work on Sourdough and have dabbled in bread on and off. With the extra time we all have at home, now it a time to work again on bread BUT not end up with a ton of waste. One of the things that bother me about Sourdough Starters are how much waste there is from the starter. Scott luckily decided to start his sourdough with a very low amount of flour to build it and agreed to allow me to share his method with you.
