I had fun hosting BSI Cherries! As I was lounging in bed on Mother’s Day eating yet another cherry chocolate scone I ran across a recipe for cherry limeade of all things. I sipped on this while take a look at the recipes. This will be perfect on a hot summer day, even better with…

A lot more of the same in the box this week. Spinach Bok Choi Hakurei Turnips (topped) Head Lettuce Kale (Red Russian) The head lettuce is so fresh and looks delicious. We are going to have that for Mother’s Day dinner with a roasted chicken. I need to find a new way to prepare the…
{BSI Cherries} Dark Chocolate Tart Cherry Saffron Scones
My friend recently came into an abundance of saffron and asked me for some ideas to put it to use. She also gave me a some to enjoy, bonus! In my feeds that day I was reading the Marx Food Blog and saw they had posted the The Ridiculously Delicious Challenge. I took part in…
Cinco de Nada
Cinco de Mayo is not happening in our house this year. This week’s schedule is crazy and the husband is out of town tonight. I had already banked on tonight being leftover night. Though I did make lentil tacos for taco Tuesday, I was hoping to have leftovers but we ate it all. They were…
BSI Contest
I am excited to be hosting the Blogger Secret Ingredient contest this week. Each week a new host picks a secret ingredient and hosts the contest for anyone to enter a recipe. I’ve been a participant but this is my first time hosting. Yea! I’ve picked cherries as the secret ingredient. They aren’t truly in…
Spring Thyme Cocktail
Spring has sprung in these parts. We’ve gotten a lot of rain which in turn has made everything vibrantly green and there are plenty of flowers to show for all those showers. It is not really puppy friendly weather and it has put a damper on softball season but I am sure it won’t be…
In the Box — CSA Week 2 {Cheesy Spinach}
The weekly boxes contain a lot more produce than I expected. We still have plenty left from last week, but Easter leftovers made using them up a bit more difficult. I definitely need to tackle the meal plan more efficiently this week. I easily used all the spinach last week by making a cheesy spinach…
Quince Paste Dipping Sauce
I have had some leftover quince paste in the fridge for awhile. What is quince paste you ask? It is a paste, also known as membrillo, made from quince fruit of course. It is like a sweet solid condensed jelly and is delectable with Manchego cheese. Though a little goes a long way so the…
In the Box — CSA Week 1 {Meal Planning}
Our first CSA box arrived last night, so exciting! This CSA is new to us this year so we had no idea what to expect. I love that it gets delivered to the front door though. Our usual CSA went bi-weekly and now we’ve learned it may not actually happen. Huge bummer. I’d say by…

Roasted Pineapple Salsa 1 pineapple, cored and diced Zest of 1 lime Juice of 1 lime 1 t. maple syrup 1 t. taco seasoning…
