Rich Sauce with White Eggplant & HerbsEggplant has nothing to do with eggs - unless you dip and bread them. This sauce is a knockout! We grow 'Casper', an heirloom small, long white eggplant. It's mild in flavor and perfectly suited to thick, rich vegetable sauces. When cut into dime-to-quarter-sized disks, I have found Casper to be a perfect addition to other late… |

Pear & Fig ChutneyI 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… |

Slow Cooker Beef with Barley SoupCooking the pearl barley a long time gives this soup a nutty flavor and smooth texture. It's very different from the chewy texture you get when cooking regular barley over a shorter period.

I've tasted this flavor before, but never been able to duplicate it. The combination of flavors is just amazing. I don't eat too much meat anymore, and when I do I want it to be worth… |

Good Luck Black-Eyed Pea Crockpot ChiliEnsuring good luck for the New Year means including black-eyed peas on your menu.

Pork Stew with WineThis is another phenomenal recipe that I adapted from a recipe from James Villas in Stews, Bogs, and Burgoos. I still have not found a recipe from this book that is not amazing. Anyway, don't be thrown off by the fruit in this recipe. It blends in with the wine, meat and vegetables to make a luscious combination. This recipe… |

Crockpot Apple PieThis is a recipe from a friend. Have to try it so I can cut back on the sugars, as it is too carb heavy for me. But, I am sure it is as yummy as it is easy. Good for potluck! |

Hot Mulled CiderThis is a drink The Husband loves and always asks me to make this time of year. I like to get up on Christmas Eve morning and start it in the crockpot and by noon it’s perfect. Nothing better than some hot apple cider while you watch your favorite Christmas movie. |

Ken's Lemon Rub for Lamb SpareribsThis lemon rub is great on lamb and chicken. The mint and lemon are a classic combination. Slow roasted in the oven, they gave the meat a slight citrus flavor. The rub was used to season pasture raised lamb spareribs Incredible flavor and a great crust on the ribs. We also used the rub on a whole chicken with great results. |
