Piloy beans. Last year I was given these beautiful Piloy beans. Last year I was given these beautiful beans from Guatemala. One plant can produce all of these different colored beans. Isn’t that amazing??

I planted them last year, but we finally got these incredible brilliant orange flowers right before the first frost. So it never had time to produce the beans. This year, I’ve started them indoors in February in the hopes of getting at least one pod. The vine is sooooo vigorous and beautiful and the deer don’t eat the leaves (which they eat pretty much any other bean leaf I grow).

I’m going to give one of my seedlings to my mom who lives further south in the hopes that her growing season will be long enough in case I still can’t get one in time. Here’s to hoping!

Sweet potatoes. Trying a new method that I learned Sweet potatoes. Trying a new method that I learned from @dan__north_hadrian to start sweet potato slips. 

You leave the sweet potatoes whole and place them in seed starting soil. Keep them in a dark place with a heating pad until they start to grow stems and leaves. 

He always has such huge sweet potato slips, so I’m trying it out with 3 different kinds of sweet potatoes.

Brussels sprouts. I’ve never been successful at Brussels sprouts. I’ve never been successful at growing these but last fall I gave it another shot. They didn’t do much before the first frost so I packed leaves around them and assumed they’d die with the cold winter. To my surprise, they look great! They survived and are growing better than I’ve ever grown them!  Late winter is such a fun and sobering time. You see what survived and what died. So far I’m having some good luck!!

Sauerkraut. Each December we make sauerkraut for t Sauerkraut. Each December we make sauerkraut for the new year. This is how we like to do it. For more detailed instructions check out @thekitchn https://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-make-homemade-sauerkraut-in-a-mason-jar-193124

Full disclosure: the cabbage that we harvested was actually frozen, so we had to purchase new cabbage. We froze the cabbage that we harvested and will use it for soup. Also, our sauerkraut got a mold film on top. This is OK when making sauerkraut. You just scoop off the mold, but use your best judgment when fermenting. The mold developed because some of the cabbage wasn’t fully submerged. Always make sure the cabbage is submerged. You can add salted water if the liquid evaporates off.

Giant Apple Cinnamon Roll. A few years back we sta Giant Apple Cinnamon Roll. A few years back we started a tradition of making 3 of these with the apples we picked in the fall. We eat one immediately, freeze one for Christmas morning, and give one away. 

Because of the storm “Elliott” our Christmas morning looked a little different this year, but we were able to make it fun and delicious with decorating pancakes. Then we ate our roll the following morning. We added pomegranate this year. That was a great addition.

Ice cream cake. My daughter’s birthday was last Ice cream cake. My daughter’s birthday was last month, and I tried my hand at making an ice cream cake with @graeters black raspberry chip ice cream,  edible butterflies, and purple sweet potato powder for the food coloring. 🦋🎂🍦

I had never seen edible butterflies before. They are so fun and the kids loved them.

Smoked turkey broth. When your family has the stom Smoked turkey broth. When your family has the stomach flu, turkey noodle soup to the rescue. 

We smoked a turkey last weekend and now we are making a broth. I freeze onions skins, herb stems, celery and carrot ends, garlic scape flowers, leek greens and other food scrapes from earlier this summer to simmer with the bones to give the broths more dimension and have less food waste.
