This despondent looking crew are the drawn from the various Scandanavian, German, and Irish families settled in or near Wadena, Minnesota during the late 1800s. Wadena, located in the west-central part of the state, was (and is) a pretty small town, so some of these kids probably had an epic daily commute, by foot, from […]

I’ve been growing cauliflower for years, but only recently did I learn this cauliflower growing tip from a farmer friend of mine.

Hydroponic Towers Made Easy July 22, 2022
Hydroponic Towers Made Easy will chronicle my journey into the hydroponic gardening world. At first, I was intimidated by the mere thought of growing food in hydroponic towers. I thought, that’s WAY too much work and involves way too many aspects I know nothing about. Chemicals, pH balance, water pumps, special sprouting trays… UGH. Just […]

Honey Fried Chicken and Waffles May 20, 2023
Super crispy fried chicken, drizzled with a warm honey glaze, served with the fluffiest buttermilk waffles! There’s a few steps involved in this, but my goodness is it a labor of love (of 45 minutes of course). And the end result is so worth it. With the crispiest chicken (breasts or thighs can be used here) […]

Overcoming Obstacles to Be the Best you Can Be June 2, 2023

There are things that happen in life that seem insurmountable, but if we’re determined and look to the future, anything is possible. […]

Comparing Mint Plants: Spearmint, Apple & Chocolate April 23, 2020
Mint is a reasonably cold-hardy perennial, meaning it grows back every year under the right conditions. Just like there are many different kinds of tomatoes (cherry, beefsteak, roma, etc.), there are plenty different varieties of mint, too. Here’s an overview comparison of three different kinds of mints that grow well for me in Anchorage, Alaska: […]
