Honey Fermented Lemon Ginger
This year I was gifted a Meyer lemon tree. I don’t usually cook with lemon but it is nice to have your own when I do. The lemon on this tree took so long to get yellow. I got two from this tiny tree this year. Lately I have been addicted to this Asian ginger…
Fermented Kale
Kale is a great winter crop as the plant is hardy and can endure cold weather. I still have plenty of kale in my garden so I decided to try to preserve some of it by fermenting it. This is my first time trying this but I would definitely experiment again and make some changes….

Updated Chocolate Chip Cookies
I have tried many versions of this chocolate chip cookie. I started with a crazy sprinkle cookie but using a chocolate chip cookie base. I have always gone back to this recipe as it never fails me. I have made some changes to it and I think it makes it better, chewier and more complex….
