Banana Nut Cake
I’ll never forget that afternoon in my early teens.

So Dad was outside working […]

Cauliflower Fritters
One of my favorite things about having a vegetable garden is almost being forced into creating new recipes. Take the cauliflower this year, it did so amazing I was “forced” to create two new dishes we absolutely love. A little bit of time and effort working the dirt, planting, and watering. That’s it. We’ve basically […]
