Anyone who is close to me knows I like to process and can fresh, garden vegetables into delicious, shelf-stable and ready to eat foods – one of which being salsa.

Cilantro Jalapeño Hummus
We are hummus lovers in our house. It can be made into a quick and easy meal or snack, and because fresh veggies are the perfect dipper, it makes consuming them (veggies) that much easier. Win…win! I was at Aldi the other day and grabbed a container of hummus which had four different varieties, one … Continue reading
Hummus {super simple recipe in the Ninja Chef blender}
Hummus. Such a simple dish to make with a myriad of possibilities available to doctor it up. Today’s hummus recipe though is pretty basic. I’ve been making it for years, typically with my immersion blender…which usually ends up taking a bit of effort and being a bit much for the handheld wand (aka – it … Continue reading
Homemade Tahini {made in the Ninja Chef blender}
This past week our local grocery store had a sale on bulk bin items. This made a prime time to purchase hulled sesame seeds to make a homemade tahini (sesame seed paste). I was able to purchase about 3 cups of sesame seeds for only $2.50! This was a great deal and I’ll be able … Continue reading
Tart Cherry Pie Jam
I am not sure why I was amazed to see two of my children come inside from the backyard the other day with a bowl full of ripe cherries. I know there are cherry trees back there, and I realize that it is summer…the two kind of go hand-in-hand! I guess in my head, it … Continue reading

They … Continue reading

Crock Pot Chicken Curry
I have been into cooking with our Crock Pot as of late. Let’s face it…more often than not cooking with a slow-cooker method is less hassle, and I’m all about less hassle in the kitchen some days! Other days tend to be more time-consuming with food for me {in the prep, cooking, and clean up} … Continue reading
Sautéed Cabbage
The inspiration for today’s post came from the fact that we had cabbage hanging around in the fridge for quite some time that needed immediate attention. If I didn’t use it today, I didn’t know if I was ever going to use it. We had a pork roast in the crock pot and rice cooking … Continue reading
Thai Basil Coconut Curry Stir Fry
The recipe that I am sharing with you today actually resulted from a variety of things that we needed to use up in the fridge. Week old Thai basil. Even older leeks…not even going to mention how much older. Freshly picked broccoli. Half of a can of coconut milk, being stored in a container from … Continue reading
