Our old farmhouse simply doesn't have the storage space to allow me to keep items on hand that are used once a year. If a tool, appliance,
- [Cheesy Grits](https://1840farm.com/2016/10/cheesy-grits/) - Every time I serve grits at our farmhouse table, I am taken by how simple, comforting, and delicious they are.

I grew up in Kansas City and there was a Wolferman’s Bakery a short drive away. Every so often, we traveled there to treat ourselves to their delicious fresh muffins. The store was a beautiful shop and I loved to wander, looking at every type

Have you ever wished that you had a canning rack that would adjust to every pot in your kitchen? I did.

- [Farmhouse Style Cast Iron Skillet Meatloaf](https://1840farm.com/2016/01/meatloaf/) - In my book, there’s nothing more comforting on a cold winter’s night than meatloaf and mashed potatoes. If that meatloaf can be prepared in a cast iron skillet, all the better. Comfort food from a cast iron skillet is just the sort of farmhouse style comfort food my family clamors for on a wintry New
- [Instant Pot Macaroni and Cheese](https://1840farm.com/2017/12/instant-pot-macaroni-and-cheese/) - Is there anything more warm and comforting than homemade macaroni and cheese?

For years, I have been making
- [Banana Blueberry Cake](https://1840farm.com/2012/07/banana-blueberry-cake/) - I love when ordinary ingredients can be transformed into an extraordinary dish. I find it even more impressive when it can be accomplished without going to extensive effort or employing specialized kitchen tools. This is just that sort of recipe. By themselves, the ingredients may appear pedestrian. Bananas are commonplace and blueberries are far from

In those first few moments of their life here on our farm, we officially became dairy farmers.
- [Which came first-the chickens or the coop?](https://1840farm.com/2010/09/which-came-first/) - I am on a mission. 1840 Farm will have a flock of chickens in residence before winter comes calling. No, this didn't happen because of the salmonella egg scare that has been the news story du jour as of late. But I will not tell a lie-it has certainly given me a whole new reason

- [Helping our Hens Stay Cool in the Summer Heat](https://1840farm.com/2015/05/hens-cool-in-the-summer-heat/) - Here in New England, we spend more of our calendar days with frigid temperatures than intense heat.

Living with you are your closest friends. You dine together in this space. You sleep in this space. You go to the bathroom, when necessary, in this space. It’s not the prettiest of mental pictures, is it? Yet, I’ve just described the
- [Crème Brûlée](https://1840farm.com/2018/08/creme-brulee/) - Traditional crème brûlée doesn’t call for cornstarch, but I find that it helps to make this recipe foolproof.

I should get out my favorite sweater, go apple picking, and buy a pumpkin. I don't want to. Instead, I want to invite summer to stay a while longer. I want to thumb my nose at Mother Nature. I want her to understand in no uncertain terms that she can keep her beautiful foliage if I can keep my tomato patch a while longer.
- [Buttermilk Waffles](https://1840farm.com/2019/09/buttermilk-waffles/) - Here at the farmhouse, waffles are as popular as pancakes. Yet I tend to make pancakes much more often. I don't have a good reason for this. Sure, waffles require the use of a waffle iron, but heating up the waffle iron doesn’t take any longer than the cast iron skillet I use for pancakes.

- [Baking Powder vs Baking Soda](https://1840farm.com/2013/09/baking-powder-soda/) - Baking powder, baking soda: what's the difference? Actually, there’s a big difference both in what they contain and what they should be used for. They're both leavening agents, but they react differently and impart different flavors on the recipes that contain them. Baking soda contains sodium bicarbonate and reacts to acidic liquids by creating bubbles
- [1840 Farm Multigrain Waffles](https://1840farm.com/2013/08/1840-farm-multigrain-waffles/) - I began making these waffles a few years ago. When I came across a recipe for “Waffles of Insane Greatness”, I couldn’t help myself. My curiosity simply got the best of me. I had to know. Were these waffles really that good? My entire family was a bit skeptical. We already had a favorite recipe
- [Sliced Radish Tartine](https://1840farm.com/2012/05/sliced-radish-tartine/) - It’s been raining for days on end here at 1840 Farm. I know that we desperately needed the rain. I know that it is technically spring or as we like to call it in New England: mud season. None of that matters. I still don’t like it. I want to be outside, planting in the

- [Baked Pizza Dip](https://1840farm.com/2016/02/baked-pizza-dip/) - This dip deconstructs pizza, allowing you to bake up a bubbly, gooey dish of the cheese and sauce normally found on your favorite pizza.
