Heirloom Tomato Jam

Hi friends, it’s been too long, I know!! I had started a post earlier in the summer to share some of my garden with you, but what can I say, life got busy.  As you might know, I have become an enthusiastic heirloom gardener, which in and of itself is still shocking to an old “brown thumb “ like me. However, knowledge is power and I love learning. The day I stop learning is the day my time on this earth is through. I hope! 

As you can imagine, I’ve been harvesting tons of tomatoes! While I love to eat, share, roast, and bake all that I can, I’m always trying new ways of enjoying my harvest. One of those newer ways is Tomato Jam.

Raisin Bran Muffins (Six Week Muffins) Yes! I Said Six Weeks!

Hi friends ! I’m popping back in, quickly, between gardening and baking duties to share one of my family’s favorite recipes. I know, back again so soon? I’ve actually been trying to get this recipe up for awhile but really wanted to finish it up for you now, because this is the perfect weather for these muffins. 

This is an adaptation of a recipe from my Mother’s church Ladies guild!  They all got together, about 40 years ago and put together a fundraising cookbook of their favorite, tried and true recipes. Isn’t that awesome?!  Big win all the way around

A Belated Happy 2024 and What’s Been Keeping Me Busy

 Hi friends! Happy New Year. I have missed you all so much. I couldn’t let January go by without wishing you all a very happy New Year and sharing a little bit about my life since we last met.  Life has been very busy, but there has also been plenty of Joy. I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday season and are looking forward to this New Year that we are in. I will never get used to us being in the 2000s!
