Basil Pesto

Recipes

I tried so many pesto recipes and felt so disappointed each time. They just never tasted like I imagined in my head (or like the pesto pasta from Olive Garden). Finally, I stopped reading recipes and went with my gut. Turns out, my attempts were all missing salt and lemon juice. Once I TRIPLED those…

Pickles

Recipes

I get a little overwhelmed with multi-step processes when I’m tired. And it’s a safe bet I’ll be tired if I have a pile of cucumbers waiting to be dealt with in the middle of summer’s bountiful harvest peak. So a few years ago, I exited Pinterest and just texted my mom. “Hey, I have…

Canning Tomatoes

Recipes

I have a bunch of screenshots and slips of paper in my recipe binder that I pull out every year when September hits and I can’t keep up with eating fresh tomatoes. I decided to compile all my favorite tomato recipes in one spot so I can access them more easily (and because my sister…

Alfredo Sauce

Recipes

If you’re not accustomed to cooking with fresh herbs, this is a great recipe to help you feel more confident. There’s very little that can compare to a cheesy white sauce with all your favorite fresh herbs topping a steaming pile of pasta (don’t even get me started on when they’re homemade noodles – oh…

Planting week has landed on my birthday since the Planting week has landed on my birthday since the first year we lived here and Marshall asked me how he could make my birthday special for me. I replied that I wanted to garden, so we did. And we haven’t stopped since. 

But this year, we didn’t do much planting. We harvested some flowers and enjoyed picnics and walked around viewing our different growing areas. We talked about perennials and dreamt up new gardens and slowly, gently, peacefully came to terms with the fact that we needed to press pause on the CSA for a season. 

I’ve never loved doing anything as much as I love growing green things. Except being a wife and mother.

A few days after Marshall’s fall down some steps, he started walking funny. A few days later, he was forgetful and slow to answer questions. It’s been almost a month since he fell, and he’s still substituting the wrong words in his sentences, still wincing when he bends over, still pausing before walking with the baby. He’s working with an incredible doctor and I see so many wonderful things ahead for him. But right now, caring for my family has to eclipse my efforts in keeping green things alive. Perhaps someone else could do both, but that’s okay. My garden will be there waiting for me, just as it always has. 

We’ll still grow the things, we just won’t do it at the pace we were expecting of ourselves before. We’ll still harvest and preserve and share our abundance. We just won’t do it with a pre-determined timeframe. We’ll still spend our summer outside amongst the green things. We’ll just do it more slowly, more gently, and with more naps.
