We are still eating our Adirondack Blue potatoes (and other types) from last year’s harvest. They have done very well in Noel’s make-shift above ground root cellar in the barn.

In honor of our 20th anniversary I thought I’d highlight some of our very favorite recipes from years past. When I looked at some of the posts I noticed that I still make a lot of them in exactly the same way. The rest have evolved over the years because I don’t always look at the written recipe. See if you can find a couple that might intrigue you. Sweet Potato Quesadillas Curried Squash Galette Oven Roasted Root Vegetables Sweet Potato Black Bean...
