With our late summer here in Montana, the tomatoes are growing full on. My neighbor has a green house and his tomato plants are so big that they are growing out of the roof, it’s quite the site. His tomatoes that he’s growing outside of the green house aren’t fairing as well, but not because […]

Grilled Asparagus and Gruyere Tart
“I heard it from a friend who, heard from a friend, who heard that you’ve been messing around” Can you name that band? Folks, I’ve been messing around. That is on other food blogs. Some of you know that I belong to the Secret Recipe Club, it’s a place where you get assigned another blog, […]
Family Fresh Cooking – Chinese 5-Spice Harvest Chili
Wow, has it been a month already? It seems like just last week I was doing my first Secret Recipe Club post. It was so much fun that I came back for more. Not only did I have fun, so did the Baby boy. In fact he had so much fun making Southwestern Egg Rolls […]
Grilled Pizza: 4 ways
This post is dedicated to my not daughter. Unbeliever of grilled pizzas. Recently on Facebook, she announced that she was going to make homemade pizza… Naturally I had to post a grilled pizza recipe. I took photo’s of all the steps, it’s good for the kids. We were at the cabin so I made […]
To Have and To Hold
This last weekend we went to the cabin, duh, kind of the thing we do nearly every weekend in the non-snow months. Only this weekend we had someplace special to go to. We were invited to a wedding in Helena. Our friend Hooters was getting married and we couldn’t have been happier for her. We […]

Grilled Pluot Freezer Jam
I am a domestic goddess. I make homemade jam for my family and neighbors and anyone one else willing to take a jar. I am a domestic goddess, except I need to vacuum and laundry is piled up and there are dishes to do, maybe some dusting too. Barring all that, I am a domestic […]
Peach Salad with Cumin Dressing
I’m not ready to let summer go yet. Fortunately the weather has been cooperating. Here in Montana we are finding ourselves with an unusually late summer. After record snows this past winter, it is a welcome feeling. Just a few days ago we had temps in the 90’s. Even though they have dropped down to […]
Let’s Get Messy!
You know, sometimes you just don’t feel like cooking and sometimes you don’t feel like going out either. Like after a long and very hot day of looking at Hay and snapping pictures. It happens to some more than others, even me. I adore cooking and I adore grilling but I adore an easy night […]
What the Hay?
Hay ya’ll, how the hay have you been? What the hay, you say? Why all the hay talk? Every year in Montana, there is the Montana Bale Trail it’s, a 21 mile stretch between Windham and Hobson, a place of hay. Actually it’s a contest, a hay building/sculptor contest. Yep, that’s right, here in Montana […]
