It’s one of those everyday condiments that most of us take for granted, but did you know that you can really easily make mustard? It’s fun to customize the flavors, plus it gives you a great excuse to eat more pretzels. I made three flavors, honey mustard, rosemary thyme mustard, and beer mustard, but I’m […]
Roasted Tomato Pesto Zucchini Noodles
Since he isn’t a big fan (not quite a hater) of zucchini , I was a bit worried when I fed Steven these roasted tomato pesto zucchini noodles. But he took a few bites, and said, “I don’t know why we’d ever make regular spaghetti again when we can make zucchini noodles.” And then we proceeded […]
Roasted Carrots with Carrot Top and Garlic Scape Pesto
Between growing a vegetable garden and signing up for a CSA (community supported agriculture) box, I’ve been learning to get a lot more creative with vegetables.

Strawberry and Granola Yogurt Parfait Popsicles
Yogurt, fruit, and granola make these popsicles an excellent excuse to have a frozen treat for breakfast.
