Summer Berry Sparkling Sangria

August 28, 2015 by Brett Youmans 2 Comments

A wine based cocktail from Spain and Portugal, the makeup of this fruity drink varies greatly. Sangria almost always contains fresh fruit, vodka or brandy, and a sweetener ranging from orange juice to honey. With such a wide range of possibilities, I set off to make a lighter version containing fresh summer berries that I’ve been enjoying from this year’s garden. GreenThumbWhiteApron.com

Blueberry Coffee Cake Muffins with Pecan Streusel Topping

July 31, 2015 by Brett Youmans Leave a Comment

Better than coffee shop muffins hot out of the oven in less than 30 minutes? Sign me up! Trade the butter for olive oil to elevate the taste and create a super moist texture.

It's blueberry season here at Kraemer House and, after several years of nurturing the fickle bushes, I'm happy to report that they are looking great and producing nicely.  I've loved blueberries long before they became so popular.  I'm old so that's … [Read more...]

30 Minute Blueberry Crostata | MisterMartha.com

Well, is it a crostata or a galette?  I’ve been wondering about that lately and as it turns out they are one and the same.  One Italian, the other French.  Both delicious.  Crostatas and galettes are free-form and rustic and can be sweet or savory.  … [Read more...]

How Does Your Garden Grow? | July, 2014

The garden is always teaching me lessons.  One big lesson I learned this year is to let the climbing peas have their own bed because they don’t play well with others.  I thought planting the fava beans on the perimeter of the bed with the peas was a … [Read more...]

Beets are one of the first things I get planted in the garden every year. Depending on the variety, they’re ready from seed to table in about 60 days. While we mostly associate this versatile vegetable with its deeply hued taproot, did you know the leaves are also edible? As they grow to maturity in the garden, I enjoy clipping the leaves for fresh crisp salads and quick stir-fry dishes. GreenThumbWhiteApron.com

Photo of jelly jars filled with Lavender-Strawberry Jam Spritzer Cocktail. We make strawberry jam every year and always have it on hand so it seemed natural to use it as a sweeter in this cocktail. When mixed together with a bit of lavender syrup, vanilla infused vodka, and club soda, you’ve got something quite special. GreenThumbWhiteApron.com
Strawberry blossoms are an indication of a heavy crop this year.
Perfect Steamed Eggs! The only sure-fire trick is to use old eggs. As eggs age, they gradually lose moisture through the pores in their shell and the air pocket at the tip expands. The pH of the whites also changes, going from a low pH to a relatively high pH, which makes them adhere less strongly to the shell. Farm-fresh eggs will always be tricky to age. Ideally, buy your eggs a week or two before you plan to boil them and let them age in the fridge.
