Stephanie was kind enough to do an interview with me as she features my spring cookbook on her site Keeper of the Home. Her questions cover everything from what inspires the recipes to what motivates our journey to agrarianism to what struggles we have with eating seasonally.
If you’re interested you can head over to read the full interview.
We’re still eating plenty of asparagus, lettuce, spring onions, and soon peas. How about you?
October 16, 2015 The broom weed is waste-high and their hands squeeze tight as I help the girls navigate through the tiny yellow flowers that breeze past their eyes. The mesquite leaves are beginning to cover the walkways, masking the cracks in the soil that I once thought only existed in faraway places. We still…
It’s 6:30 in the morning and I’m woken up by a set of pigtails that wants to wrestle. I take her to the kitchen, open up a large refrigerator, dispense the milkies, and turn to the coffee pot. This is a machine that heats the water and makes a single cup from coffee grounds…
“Or what if I had simply grown up in a time when food was seasonal? When there was, in each year, a time of more and a time of less? When food was not just there in packages on the supermarket shelf all year?” ~ Jessica Prentice ~ Welcome to another edition of Food Roots!…
I grabbed the baby out of her crib, wrapped her in a soft green blanket and headed out into the windy 50 degree day to see what all of the hubbub coming from the kitchen garden was about. Us girls stepped around the corner and found the men of the family participating in a…
On a cool day at the end of September we loaded everyone into our van, placed all of our possessions into a trailer, and embarked on a two-week trek across the country. When we arrived there was a camper, a roof, a water tank for catching rain, and two acres that we would call home….
I force myself out of bed with the sun. It’s cold and I start the fire before I dress for the day. The boys laugh and play up in their beds and Annabelle can be heard yelling "Daa! Dada!" I relent, put her in bed with her Papa to stay warm, and head out the…

In Denmark ( N. Europe 😉 )
we are eating the last green asparagus, new peas, salad, new potatoes, onions herbs and the first amazing strawberries.
It has been rather hot and dry here all spring-(after a very cold and snowy winter) but the heat made my spinach, arugula and radishes finish very early. So now I am looking foreward to late August when I can make a late sowing of theese,
Cabbage and cucumbers re just around the corner- so is tiny beets.
Radishes, lettuce, radishes, spinach, radishes, and radishes.
I’ve got to figure out how to do the lacto-fermentation thing with radishes.
Luckily, I’ve got CSA food too, and they plant more than radishes!
I’m a little envious! The farmer’s market here doesn’t open till late May, so we never get the asparagus, peas and early lettuces aside from what we grow (and our asparagus is too young to harvest yet). We’re eating local blackberries, tomatoes, beets, squash, zucchini, cucumbers and Swiss chard this week, though.
I have been buying more fruits and vegetables. And the local strawberries are phenomenal!
My favorite vegetable that I recently started eating is kale.
