Strawberry Season Is Open At Eckert’s Farm

We had gone all the way to St. Louis last weekend on the hopes of getting a start on strawberry season! Sadly the weather was really bad and rainy.  Never fear we had someone to take our place to enjoy picking strawberries! With over 1oo years, Eckert’s Farm is celebrating strawberry season by offering you the […]

Drunken Van Van Mojo Blueberry Cider Bread

Earlier this year I had this random thought pop into my head late on a Friday night….why is no one baking more with hard ciders and beers? I mean beyond quick breads. Ciders and beers have so many flavors now with all the different hops and ingredients brewers use to make their brews. I did […]

Raspberry Mahogany: A Luscious Snack Cake

When Cake Delivery Isn’t An Option The best thing in the world is having cake delivered to your house.  Take it from us, surprise cake is the best cake.  The one downside is that giving someone cake means having to make an entire cake.  Downsizing a baking recipe is really hard to do well.  Never […]

Wholesome Wednesday: Strawberry Blueberry Kiwi Green Tea Smoothie

The past couple of weeks I’ve been really interested in raw foods.  I actually found this book recently at the library called Ani’s 15 Day Fat Blast which basically promotes a raw foods diet for about 15 days to lose about 10 pounds.  While everyone typically has a few pounds they’d like to lose I […]
