Used my X-mas present twice. Helps make great pizza. Ya’ need lots of cornmeal evenly spread out under the dough to make sure it slides off cleanly. Thanks Mindy & Tyler!

Skillet Apple Pie

November 14th, 2009 by Min

Skillet Apple Pie Inspired by a friend’s recent skillet apple pie, I made my own from this recipe. It’s a really annoying site that makes you have a log in, so I’m also posting the recipe below.

The only thing that I would change is to add a little salt to both the crust and liquid mixture that you pour over the apples. Otherwise, the crust came out beautifully and it’s a mighty tasty, homey pie.

Apples are In!

My peach tree finally came in. After Brewster ate all the low-hanging peaches, we are finally eating peaches. They are really good, but they give you the runs!

Nice peach pie your Mom made, too!

Feast with carrots

August 23rd, 2009 by Min

Feast Here’s the dinner I made for me and Tyler tonight. I went a little overboard—especially with portions, which is a constant battle when making new recipes for just two people. The bottom left corner of the plate features the carrots that Father Amick gave to us last week. I wanted to use the fingerling potatoes we also got from Father Amick, but I had some older potatoes in the fridge that I felt I should get rid of.

The dinner was: pan-fried salmon that was marinated in lemon juice and herbes de provence, potatoes that were also pan-fried and cooked with aged goat cheese and more herbes de provence, a simple baby mixed green salad with olive oil and balsamic, and glazed carrots with tarragon and chervil. I used only half of the carrots, and the recipe really brought out their tasty homegrown flavor. It was so good that I think I’ll make it again with the other half of the carrots later in the week.

Fingerling Potatoes!

HPIM1353Just harvested my first fingerling potatoes. I saved the seed potatoes in the frig over the winter. I’ll deliver these to Tyler ’cause I know Mindy and Tylo love fingerling potatoes.
