I have so many little matters to tell you of, that I cannot wait any longer before I begin to put them down.

We’re all about pancakes at the Muller house these days…Tommy and I make pancakes or waffles at least 4 times a week now because he wants to help me with breakfast, and we’ve tested several great recipes of late. This is the most popular one right now: Blueberry-Cornmeal Pancakes (from Martha Stewart Living) 1 cup flour […]

This week’s farm share definitely made up for last week’s light one…bags of spinach, salad greens, and thyme have me excited about salads this week, a ton more rhubarb means I get to work on my rhubarb cutting skills (last week my rhubarb chunks were too big and the pudding I made was on the […]

This week’s farm share was quite light, and our farmer even apologized…I guess the rain has messed with the harvesting a lot. This is the last week of the spring farm share, and I’m thinking that we won’t do this portion next year. We got a lot of interesting produce, but I’m not sure that […]

Fortunately, our farm share was pretty normal this week–besides the Napa Cabbage, we know what to do with everything and can just use the veggies to supplement the meals that church people are bringing us! Derek’s mom and Tommy made a strawberry-rhubarb pudding with last week’s rhubarb, and they’re going to make us a pie […]

Derek won his first case today, so to celebrate, Tommy and I made him chocolate chip cookies! Tommy has become obsessed with cooking and baking–as soon as I tell him it’s time to eat, he says, “I help!” and pulls over the chair to stand on. (And he gets upset when the task is something like cutting […]

Nope, the baby’s not here, and we’re not going out to Maryland now. Don’t really want to talk about it today. Last night’s farm share was the biggest we’ve had yet: That’s five more heads of broccoli, carrots, spinach, romaine lettuce, asparagus, chives, and radishes. And I don’t think I’ve ever seen so much asparagus […]

This week was pretty much all normal stuff that I actually buy at the grocery store–carrots, lettuce, potatoes, and broccoli–plus a couple fun new things–collard greens and scallions. Last week we didn’t get a box because the cold weather has pushed back the season, so I caught up on using up all of our old […]

Rachelle asked me this weekend if I’m having any weird nesting impulses…I am, and they’re getting worse every time I have a false alarm (like contractions again last night that woke me up for two hours before disappearing). The main thing is laundry–I have this huge fear that I’m going to leave dirty laundry in […]

With all of the great veggies we’ve been getting lately, I have become more interested in veggie-centered cooking and baking. I heard a lot of buzz about Deceptively Delicious a while back, but I didn’t get around to checking it out until now. Fortunately, I got it from the library and didn’t pay money for […]

This week’s farm share was a bit anticlimactic, I must admit. Over the last two weeks, we’ve had quite the assortment of random new meals, and this week, the lettuce, cabbage, kale, turnips, potatoes, and onions aren’t sparking any great inspiration. I just threw away part of my first onion from the first food box […]
