I never planted Swiss chard in my garden, or I should say, I didn’t have any success in growing it my first year. I do remember my mom growing Swiss chard, but as a kid, I wasn’t too fond of it. I guess your taste buds do change as you get older—at least for […]
Roasted Root Vegetables is an easy recipe I developed with input from Copilot, or as I refer to him, ‘Bluebee.’ Before he changed to Copilot, he was the symbol of a blue “B” for ‘Bing.’ To me, Bluebee symbolizes a worker bee, always busy helping me be more productive. I love creating recipes instead of
I haven’t blogged about the Pickle Patch lately, and the perfect ending for the harvesting season was naturally Thanksgiving. It seems that our house is the hub for the holidays. I might be retired, but I am kept busy with my three hobbies: ancestry, blogging, and the pickle patch. During the holidays, these hobbies take
