the larder






The pantry floor is old wooden pine

Everything good comes from it's creamy white shelves...

cans of pumpkin, unsweetened applesauce, maple syrup... raw honey

baked into muffins on a rather chilly Sunday afternoon...

the kitchen is the warmest room in the house 

and it's filled with the spice of warm blueberries and vanilla.



I always like to have the makings for a few quick meals 

tucked away in the larder.

When time is short or we haven't been to market

it's nice to have a can of tuna or some crisp crackers 

to snack on.


Monday: Rib-eye, turnip, green salad, dairy free vanilla custard

Tuesday: Mushroom, bacon, and cauliflower casserole, roasted squash

Wednesday: veggie fritata, crispy parsnip fries with maple syrup

Thursday: Artichoke and garlic chicken thighs

Friday: zucchini tacos

Saturday: Shepard's pie with sweet potatoes and green beans

Sunday: Caramelized onion, apple and sausage stuffed acorn squash

I will also be making some paleo blueberry muffins and some paleo vanilla muffins

and some blender smoothies for breakfasts on the go.

Lunches are usually leftovers unless I discover an extra pocket of time somewhere...

    oh the 'larder' ... love this compelling, warm invitation, friend. and that you have your menus planned all in advance ... I usually open the freezer about 4 pm to see what falls out.

    ...a kitchen is the warmest room in the house in many ways!

First Snow

  Happy birthday to my beautiful daughter, Bonnie. She brings me so much joy. My first snow day of the year! I work at a Montessori school and we are getting our first big snow storm of the year so.... SNOW DAY!!  I made my own hummus last weekend. It was delicious. I added a little bit of turmeric along with the chickpeas, lemon, tahini, and garlic.  I plan on eating a more plant based diet this year. It's only been a week and I'm already feeling better. I did eat two slices of mushroom pizza last night and ended up having heartburn so it will be a good long time before I eat dairy again.  Each month one of our families brings in a bouquet of flowers.  We cut most of the stems off and place them on a tray which we place on the children's table.  We place another tray with a very small pitcher and a few very small bud vases.  The child fills up the pitcher using water from the bathroom sink, brings it back to the table and pours the water in a bud vase of their choosing.

Oh Little Town of Bethlehem

Image
  My daughter, Hannah's house is just so pretty. It's a large, Victorian era duplex with beautiful light. Some of the windows have been replaced but there are a few old leaded windows that are old and beautiful and the light is so soft that I am always taking pictures. This is an sweet old table that she picked up in her travels. She put some vintage Christmas ornaments in a terra cotta pot and next to that is a lemon tree plant. The whole thing sits under her kitchen windows. So pretty. My husband and I went to her house on Christmas morning. She served us delicious French toast and mimosas. ~  A friend of mine flew over Marblehead on her way home from vacation and had the wherewithal to take a photo.  It made me think of Oh Little Town of Bethlehem.  This year I was able to purchase a poinsettia through my church in honor of my mother. It was comforting to know that she was represented during the Christmas Eve Mass. I had a chance to rearrange the living room a little bit. I
