I couldn’t help myself. In light of Saturday’s article in the WSJ, saying bacon is singing its swan song, I defiantly made a tasty fall salad with bacon ends from Curly Tail Farm. I can’t help it if it goes so well with fall apples from Gillogly Orchards and sharp cheddar from Ohio Farm Direct and a… Read More Weekday Apple Salad
Cherub likes a good breakfast. This morning, since it’s gotten a little chilly, I served her some hot cereal. I couldn’t find local oatmeal, so rolled spelt, from Stutzman Farm made an even exchange. You can find Stutzman products at the Greener Grocer. It cooks pretty much like oatmeal, two parts liquid (milk, local apple cider, water, etc.) to… Read More Apple-licious Breakfast

You’ve gotta get there pretty early… Read More OH So Good Omelette
We started our Eat Local Challenge this morning! I think we’ll have to stop by Stauf’s this morning on our way out to Ohio Market Day at The Hills Market. I was remiss in stocking up on Silverbridge. Cherub noshed happily on a Holistic Acres Egg from Ashland, Ohio. Hades and I skip breakfast most… Read More Cannonball!!
I figured it’d be best to set some ground rules for the next week of cooking, eating and imbibing. I’ve looked up the definition of local food, and have been presented with a number of conflicting definitions. But this week’s theme from Local Matters is OH So Good. And many people are comfortable saying anything within… Read More Rules of the Game
