Pickled Red Onions

Recipes

These simple but delightful onions can be stored in your pantry until you’re ready for some summer flavors again. I find that’s riiiight around the time my storage onions are all used up and I’m craving some garden veggies again.

This simple recipe really packs a punch. We smear it on grilled chicken breasts for some of the best sandwiches you’ve ever tasted. Super versatile depending on your family’s heat preferences.

Salsa Verde

Recipes

I’m not saying that since I grew up in Mexico that I know a superior salsa verde when I see it, but … I’m definitely not saying I don’t. Here’s a quick salsa that’s worth every second of the four minutes it takes to whip up.

Roasted Butternut Squash

Recipes

My grandmother was a missionary in Papua New Guinea for 40 years. She and her husband raised 7 kids and translated several New Testaments into indigenous languages while living on an island with no amenities and very large snakes draping from the outhouse rafters. I had the absolute privilege of living with my grandparents while…

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.
