It's the start of harvest time in Michigan! Time to visit your local farm markets for blackberries, blueberries, peaches, nectarines and apples.

As with most of my recipes, this soup has a lot of meat, in this case, CLAMS! It's very hardy, especially on a cold night!

This amazing iced tea has a unique and refreshing taste.

July is the perfect time to relax and appreciate the results of your gardening efforts! Take in the sight of blooming flowers while you sit on your front porch or back deck with a cup of coffee, watching the morning sun evaporate the dew.

June marks the perfect time to plant vibrant annuals and introduce more perennials to the gardens!

As April arrives, you can start planting even more cold-hardy spring flowers. Purchase spring bulbs that are already blooming and plant them for early color in your gardens.

Mother's Day in May signifies two things: showing gratitude to your mother and the green light to plant annuals! Additionally, it marks the peak of morel mushroom hunting season, provided the weather is rainy and warm!

I make this dip as a pre-dinner appetizer for all my winter holidays. It’s my number one request when I’m asked to bring an appetizer to a party.

March marks the official start of spring, and in Michigan, early spring flowers begin to emerge from the warmed soil.

Warm, rich, and deeply flavorful, this classic French Onion Soup is a comforting dish perfect for chilly nights. Slow-sautéed sweet onions, savory beef bone broth, and gooey Swiss Gruyère cheese create a timeless blend of flavors.

Let February bring signs of spring into your home.  Add bouquets of fresh pink tulips and the wispy stems of camomile in your kitchen. 

In Michigan, January rings in the new year and gives you a fresh start, providing a clean palette and quiet time to watch the snow slowly fall. All is white and quiet while the gardens sleep.
