Pear & Fig Chutney

Pear & Fig Chutney by Amos Miller

I still had a few pears from the orchard and the figs are almost finished. Why not a Pear & Fig chutney? Easily done! This is everything a chutney should be. The flavors of the pears, combined with the figs' texture and sweetness, the plump raisins and blend of vinegars easily marry to the aromatic spices. And a quality cracked…

Cajun Crowder Beans

Cajun Crowder Beans by Amos Miller

Also known as Crowder peas, these delicious little fellas can often be found in frozen form at the store. These are fresh picked right here in Michigan and, like fava beans and so many other seasonal treats, we rush them to the table. Crowders are really a 'Southern' treat and I first enjoyed them when visiting relatives in West…

Lemon Rosemary Fig Jam

Lemon Rosemary Fig Jam by Amos Miller

The figs are ripe. sweet and the season is short. Fresh rosemary, lemon zest and juice marry perfectly to create a jam to be eaten with bold cheeses as an appetizer. Little work to create, long, slow cooking time and a couple of sterilized jars will carry this treat well into the Winter - provided you can avoid eating it all…

Try this next time your are looking for a 'fancy' or special appetizer that requires next to no effort. This is a basic German-style country dish. If you can't obtain a smoked liver…

Strawberry Smoothie

Strawberry Smoothie by Blaire H

A strawberry smoothie, not as sweet as the store/shop purchased ones. Easy to make. We think it could better with added chocolate, in bits/small quantity. What do you think? The xylitol adds 10 calories, 4 carbs per serving. The protein powder adds 40 calories, 8g protein, and 3 carbohydrates per serving.

Roasted Red Pepper & Feta Dip

Roasted Red Pepper & Feta Dip by Amos Miller

Still snowed in and entertaining the stranded! So I tried another Ellie Krieger recipe for a game day or appetizer dip option. Even though Ellie is a registered dietician and a very dedicated health nut, I still like her recipes! Anyway, I love roasted sweet peppers and, having 3 reds on hand, some crumbled feta cheese and a lemon I…

Zippy Chicken Salad in Reed Avocado

Zippy Chicken Salad in Reed Avocado by Amos Miller

Everyone has a meatloaf recipe - and everyone has a chicken salad recipe. Here's mine - simple, elegant, healthy (pretty much) and very tasty. I don't present this as anything other than a great entree using some elements grown on the farm. It is sort of a fruity, curried Waldorf Salad...(it' s also great served on a tender roll, or…

Chocolate Caramel Butterscotch Chex Mix

Chocolate Caramel Butterscotch Chex Mix by Michelle

You know how some people look in their fridge and come up with something for dinner out of what's in there, a la Iron chef? Well, I did that last night with my cabinets and the result was a new Chex mix combination. My goal was something chocolately, with a slight caramel and butterscotch taste, but also salty and sweet.

Asian-inspired Mini-Meatballs

Asian-inspired Mini-Meatballs by Amos Miller

A perfect appetizer, great hot or cold, and can be easily made the day before the party in a large crock pot. All you’ll need is toothpicks and tiny plates! I’ve built upon an interesting recipe I found for meatballs with a teriyaki sauce and the inclusion of, yes, dried cranberries. This was so tasty when I first made my…
