Sandhill Plum Jelly

Have you heard of a sandhill plum?  These plums are small (about the size of cherries or large marbles), grow wild in some parts of the midwest, and are super sour.  Just about the only thing I know to do with them is make jelly!  It so happens that Sandhill Plum Jelly is…

Pear-Berry Crisp Pie

One of my favorite summer desserts is a Mixed Berry Crumble Tart.  The only thing is, I don’t grow any of those fruits here on our acreage, so I don’t get to make it as often as I would like.  About this time of year, though, we have an abundance of pears from…

No Bake Peanut Butter Squares

Do you have an oven that heats up your entire kitchen (or house?!) when you use it?  I do.  I try hard to keep it turned off during the hot summer months, but sometimes the craving for a cookie/sweet is just too much!  However, with no-bake recipes like these No Bake Peanut Butter…

Frosted Zucchini Cake Brownies

You would probably never guess these cake-like brownies had vegetables in them.  They are so moist and full of chocolate flavor.  They also do not use any eggs, so they are a great for people who have that allergy.  While I won’t claim that these are healthy because of they contain vegetables, I…
