Sam I am!

How cool is this? I'm a Dr. Seuss character! Green eggs and ham produced here on the farm! This is actually a smoked and nitrate free ham steak, but it is ham just the same. When cooking meat that I've raised I feel like I need to be more careful with is and make sure it all gets used/eaten, especially the pork. I know that sounds crazy, but I don't like to think that these girls died only to be overcooked, cooked badly, or tossed out with the garbage because the meat wasn't all consumed. Raising my own meat has certainly made me think differently about cooking it for sure!

see Jenny......I can make biscuits......

....whipped cream too, if I'd bought the heavy cream instead of the light. I bought the light for my coffee and thought why not give it a try?! Mental note, light cream does not turn into whipped cream, however it still tastes great. Fresh mint from the garden, to make it look pretty.

*This batch is headed to a friend of mine in Colorado. I made many more jars after these were done. I think this is some of the best jam I've ever made, it's lip-smacking delicious and it's all about the berries!
