Above even perhaps our kraut, cheese steaks, and perogies is the PA steak salad. This lovely creation of salad-gone-unhealthy is an immediate favorite of anyone that tries it, no matter where they're from. It starts as a regular salad and becomes a full meal by adding french fries and steak. Real steak, not that chipped steak crap. The unhealthy part…
I'm willing to bet anyone that purchased an HE washer has buyer's remorse like a mother f*cker. I know a lot of folks that hate their HE washer because it smells. I hated mine. I still do, kinda... It's annoying that they can't make them not smell. What does it smell like? Let's take to Google to see what others…
I will preface this post by saying I suck at providing measurements, amounts, and quantities. A lot of these recipes are my own or a combination of multiples into one. I just throw stuff together. I apologize if my recipes are vague at times. Another facet to consider are personal preferences. I don't like a shit ton of garlic in…
My husband and I started kayaking a couple years ago. I floated down the crick* at camp when I was a kid, but I had never gone as an adult. We paddled around Lake Jordan and Lake Wheeler quite a bit. We started getting more into it. Last summer we went down the Neuse river in Raleigh and that was…
I’ve always loved good food. My search for the best tasting foods is what initially led me to eating clean, homemade, locally sourced meals. Then physical issues led me further. I eat very little processed food now. Most of my life I have been plagued by migraines. Sometimes they’re sinus and sometimes caused by foods. Ever since I started getting…
I absolutely love Indian food. The first time I ate it, I hated it. My palette wasn't used to such flavors. In Pennsylvania, we're meat and potatoes. No spice, no flava. Just food. Good food, but just food. Nothing exotic. After my first experience, I decided to tackle my leftovers the next day. It tasted good to me and I've…
We have had a mild winter thus far. Fortunately it doesn't get too crazy down here in North Cackalacky (my reasoning for moving here). We did just have a frost after all the trees started to bloom during a warm spell over the last week or so. I hope the farmers out there were able to save their fruit trees…
If you don't like beets or eggs, you probably won't like this recipe. However, if you DO like them this will knock your socks off. Pickled eggs are simple and so yummy. They are a delicacy in PA and we love them like we love our kraut (which a lot of folks don't like, either). I'm still holding out hope…
For my very first blog post, I thought it fitting to talk about my little homestead up in Pennsylvania.
