For the past few years, my husband and I have taken a weekend trip with some of our friends in the spring. For a few years, we went to a banquet in Glen Burnie, Maryland and once we went to Sea Isle City, New Jersey. This year, the banquet we planned to attend was cancelled after our friend booked non-refundable…
Last year, we grew a lot of red beets. Like, A LOT! So, I knew I had plenty to use throughout the year! About every two weeks or so, I make a batch of pickled red beet eggs. Some, or many, of you have probably made red beet eggs at one point in your life. But I found a system…

But when I do get it started, I love the way it makes our sunroom smell! (We call it a sunroom, but it’s really a sitting room in the back of the house that the former…

Every January, in Harrisburg, the capital of Pennsylvania, a large event called “The PA Farm Show” is held. It is basically like a culmination of all county fairs in the state in one huge building. In fact, the building is called the “Farm Show Complex.” The Farm Show lasts for a little over a week. We make it a point…
Whenever my husband and I go out to a restaurant to eat and he spots French onion soup on the menu, he orders it. Some is good, some is mediocre, and some is a flop. The best he ever ate comes from a small diner in his hometown. And I must say…this recipe is fairly close! This recipe won first…
