If you’ve kept up with us on Twitter, you know we had a massive gardening day last week. It left us with tons of fresh produce strewn across the table on our back porch, and a day full of food preservation. We froze food, we dehydrated, we canned. And we were STILL left with three [...]

We are so jazzed about our garden this year!!! No lie, we may have gone a little crazy. It’s nice having a landlord that doesn’t really care what’s in our planters so long as it looks nice and the place is taken care of, because we may have cleared out massive chunks of planting spaces [...]

Let's Get Quichey!

Love that Real Simple cookbook Josh’s mom Carole gave us – here’s the quiche I made for dinner! What’s neat about this dish is it was made up of lots of stuff we grew ourselves. The onions, basil, and eggs all came from our backyard garden, and holy cow this thing was delicious! We had this [...]

Yesterday Josh walks into our office and says what no chicken owner wants to hear: “We’re missing a chicken.” Ummmm WHAT?!?! How are we missing a chicken?! I mean, last fall I saw a hawk hanging around our backyard cuz he was looking for a chicken dinner, but that was because our dog was in [...]
