What a beautiful summer it has been here in Chattanooga! It’s been hot all right (as I sit here typing this post, in my house with a fan blowing on me and wearing a tank top, I’m still sweating) but beautiful nonetheless. We’ve had a perfect amount of rain and sun mix; and for the […]
Hey guys! You’ve probably heard me talk before about Crabtree Farms in Chattanooga and my experiences there, along with some recipes I’ve made thanks to their plentiful harvest! Well, this year I have signed up to be in their CSA, which stands for Community Supporting Agriculture. This is different from just volunteering because once a week […]
If you’ve been following me on instagram, you may have noticed that I recently posted a picture collage of my recent attempt making zucchini bread. Well, here is the recipe, finally, with some real DSLR pictures (I really need to stop using my phone for blog pics…) and some new dishes! :D I found a […]

This week, my sister-in-law Cyan (pictured above) and I harvested all the kale from mine and Cobalt‘s fall garden. We had planted the twenty-five seedlings in the yard in early September 2012, but since they barely grew over winter (we discovered the winter sun’s angle JUST misses the kale patch during these months), Cobalt and […]
I don’t know about you, but fall happens to be my favorite season. The smells, sights, tastes, sounds and weather are so full of surprises and so much different from summer’s! I love drinking hot tea, hot chocolate or chai tea lattes on a brisk morning; sledding on colorful, crunchy leaves; feeling the cold air […]

ROMA TOMATOES SWEET PEPPERS Our garden is VERY slowly but surely growing! These are the most recent pictures of the Roma tomatoes and sweet peppers (compared to the picture in early May). They’re a bit small compared to the what they’re supposed to be by now – fruitful. But the heat has definitely gotten to […]
