Backyard Barbeque

I’ve been spending these gorgeous sunny New England days doing yard work.  After a really long and harsh winter, our yard was a complete mess!  I used my husband’s backpack leaf blower to get all the leaves into piles.  I’ve been using the lawn tractor and trailer to pick up the piles of leaves and bring to the back corner … Continue reading

Making your own cheese & fruit platter

By: Jessica Robinson We love hosting small dinner parties at our home.  We are very simplistic people and love more down to Earth dinners. It’s nice to have something for people to snack on when they arrive.  I find it’s easier, fresher and saves money to put together your own cheese platter.  Choose two or three of your favorite cheeses, … Continue reading

Camping in New England

Everyone you meet is extremely friendly. I feel I step back in time to a much simpler way of life each … Continue reading

A few years back, I developed a few different barbeque sauce recipes.  One you’ll … Continue reading
