Easy Butter Pecan Ice Cream
My husband would eat ice cream for every meal if I let him, so for Father’s Day this year I gave him a Cuisinart Electric Ice Cream maker. However, he has yet to make any ice cream — so I guess the gift was really, I will make him homemade ice cream every week. Butter Pecan is one of his favorites and I have struggled with many of the custard recipes — there is a… Read More

Date Night Fruit Crepes
In an effort to impress me when we were first dating, my husband, wowed me with these fruit crepes on one of our Friday night date nights. I know he hates it when I say something he did was cute, but it was so cute and really won me over when he took out his Better Homes and Garden cookbook and turned it to the page with his hand marked note of “crepes”. … Read More

I am here to tell you what the professionals on Food Network say all the time — BUY A FOOD MILL. It has made my harvests so much easier. It is the best method I’ve tried… Read More

Pineapple-Mango Chili Jam
Recently I purchased an electric canner to replace my old water bath canner. I have been eyeing them for some time to make canning all of the lovely things from my garden easier. You would think a good farm girl like me would relish putting away 20 quarts of pickles or tomato juice. NOT…I am a small batch canner. I like variety and with grown kids, my husband and I just can’t eat a… Read More
