Kitchen and Bar

When I started this site, everything was focused on the kitchen or our canning activities. So, of course, it is the largest section and I don’t plan on stopping any time soon.

My Top Goose and I love spending hours in the kitchen together making whatever comes to mind from Scotch eggs to  crab benedict or hand made and stuffed ravioli. Our best recipes are yours to enjoy, along with shout outs to local businesses and anything else that happens to cross our minds.

As I continue to add more content to this section, I’m always looking for ideas, so feel free to reach out to me and don’t forget to subscribe to our newsletter!
