Welcome!

Welcome to my food blog! I grew up in a family that did a lot of cooking. My parents were great at preparing meals and dinner time was always the best part of the day. I was raised on venison and will always prefer that to beef. Being active in 4-H we also had the joy of raising our own food. Don't even get me started on why having fresh eggs and your own meat chickens is better than store bought. We also had a huge garden with lots of fresh veggies. I grew up really being able to appreciate fresh food and homegrown things. After we moved and lost our garden, I started working at Aufdenkampe Family Farm so I could continue to have those lovely fresh veggies. Because of all of this and my deep love for food (not to mention watching way too much Food Network)I started experimenting with recipes and must say I can crank out some good food. People always ask me for recipes and new ideas for exotic veggies grown on the farm, so I decided to start a food blog! To come will be some family traditions and new creations that I hope everyone can enjoy! Erica
