My current food obsession: Pesto
Eating it on…potatoes, tortillas, eggs, salads & pizza
I threw together a batch a couple of weeks back and yesterday Flower Girl did the same. Both times it came out fab! No measuring just a handful of ingredients in the food processor.
A few bunches of fresh basil, a handful of walnuts, parmesan cheese (not the grated stuff), 3-4 cloves of fresh garlic, a dash of salt, and several glugs of extra virgin olive oil.
My girl also learned to make butter today. Even though I must admit she made it out of desperation. Who can eat a slice of homemade grilled toast without that? Mother was lacking on groceries but had some cream she had frozen & thawed in anticipation of the shortage. FG also made no-bake peanut-butter cookies. Atta Girl….hoping she’ll take over some of the kitchen duties this summer 
Way to go FG on making butter and no bake cookies.

I love your blog.I grew up and Maine but found your blog when I was living in Florida. My family and I have moved back to Oxford Maine to live our dream of a more self reliance life. Would love to hear more abut your green house. It's the next thing on our list to do.

My eyes couldn't register the 2nd picture until I clicked on it to make it full sized. You have baby bunnies? Are these pets or dinner?
