Eating seasonally lends to many rich flavors. Throughout fall and winter, root vegetables like parsnips and carrots find their way to our table regularly–as does bacon. Moving into Advent also brings to mind other roots that run deep, namely faith and family.
As the calendar turns toward the end of October, the pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns remind me of Harry Potter. As I’ve shared in previous posts, I am a HUGE Harry Potter fan, reading the entire series at least 10 times (enough so the books fell apart!) and knowing most of the movies by heart.
Delightful End to the Day I love sunsets (and sunrises)! The colors mezmerize me as I gaze in awe of just how great and wonderous God really is. When I first whipped up these beets, carrots & onions, I tried thinking of a catchy name. One that really captures both, the vibrant colors and the explosion of flavors, too. I immediately thought of our gorgeous Iowa sunsets (and sunrises).
I love lasagna! A friend of mine gave me this idea without the seasoned meat several years ago. This recipe basically substitutes the Patty Pan Squash for the noodles.
I’ve been asked to share this Dilly Cucumber Salad Recipe ever since the first time I posted about it – the last time I was at the Waterloo Urban Farmer’s Market. I’ve not ignored you, but I wanted a video to go along with the recipe. I will have to say, I am pretty stoked about this video-it took less than 2 hrs to complete

This past Saturday, I had the F.R.E.D. cart out at the Waterloo Urban Market again. It was a spectacular day! Not only did I get to make and share 3 new recipes (including this Summer Fajita Mix), my husband joined me and we got to connect so many people with good, local food! I had the pleasure of learning more about Mike Cook of Cook’s Fruits and Vegetables.
I have to give my daughter credit for this mouth-watering Cheesy BLT Salad recipe. She is the assistant manager at the Hansen’s Dairy, Cedar Falls store and really likes helping connect people in the Cedar Valley to the good food
This past Saturday, I was at the Waterloo Urban Farmer’s Market at the Riverloop Expo Plaza doing cooking demonstrations and handing out samples. I love cooking seasonally
Are you feeling the heat? While I love the hot weather, I do reach a point where it does feel good to cool down. This is one reason why I like cooking seasonally-or using fruits and vegetables that are in season. Many spring and summer fruits and vegetables are naturally cooling-like cucumbers. Here’s a tasty twist on the typical cucumber salad.
