Joy of Homemade Mustard
The joy of mustard, homemade with cracked brown and yellow seed is blended with fine wine, savory garlic, honey and spices until sublime! Around here the foods we enjoy the most are homemade in our kitchen such as breads, salad dressing, peanut butter, meatless quinoa breakfast sausage and most anything we eat with regularity that contains preservatives or ingredients with words with far too many consonants. I even tried to make bacon, over and over and nada. The medium part…

Valentine’s Day is around the corner and my wife and I were slogging through our local grocery and rounded the corner into one of those seasonal aisles that are constantly changing and discovered Valentine’s Day chocolate. Suddenly, surrounded by pink and red heart shaped cards, balloons and boxed Valentine’s Day chocolate, my wife noticed the golden yellow…
Cast Iron Potato Pancakes
Cast Iron Potato Pancakes add savory sunshine to every early morning breakfast. Your family will love these latkes almost as much as you!
