Hello!  NO, you didn’t imagine it – it has been a while…Reason?  You want reasons?  Okay…

My oldest son and I went on a volunteer trip to Central America  – great experience, rewarding, challenging, fun, and yes, recipes to follow…

Middle son went back to school, which has been a transition for everyone…

And I wrote a book. Or two.  Most of the time I juggle kids, novels, and cooking and sharing recipes, but these two books took a ton a focus and demanded I put the recipes aside.  So I listened.

However – I am back now and prepping for jam-making season and re-stocking the decorative objects (I’m almost sold out)…place your orders (including special requests for low-sugar, private batches, teacher gift baskets) for jams, butter, syrups, and granolas now.

And as you consider which jam you’ll spread on your buttered baguette, throw this easy, supremely healthy and delicious dinner together (it really takes 5 minutes of prep and 15 of cooking).
