♥ This glass carboy is filled with wine that Ryan’s Grandfather made. He made a lot of wine in his day, but this particular batch is very special because it was made the same year that Ryan was born. As if making your own wine isn’t neat enough, he grew his own grapes right in [...]

This meal was made with three ingredients, all purchased from our local Farmer’s Market. Here’s another yummy local meal that we’ve tried this year. We’re not as strict as we were last year, so this tempeh made with black beans fits the bill. I stirfried the tempeh with chopped up green peppers, and steamed our [...]

I’ve been truly terrible this summer at documenting our local eats. Sorry for that! ♥ Last year I recorded every single meal and snack we ate, and all of the drinks we had! It was quite an undertaking, and I decided I wanted to take it easy this year by just posting when I was [...]
