Harvest to Market for online ordering

Meat loaf my Dad would love!

Tonight I made meatloaf with  PT farm ground beef and our ground lamb! I used crushed Herbes de provence with sea salt and added that to oatmeal and bread crumbs. I mixed that with the 2 meats (2lbs total) ,2 of our eggs  and some prepared mustard. I made two small meat loafs and 1 is going in the freezer for another meal. My Dad would be proud of me, he loved meat loaf too. The only thing I didn’t put in it was the 1/2 cup of milk………oh well,next time.

Happy cooking and see you at the Markets!

Our Mexican Beef kabobs and veggies Marinating!

I am making Mexican Beef Kabobs using kabob beef from Pete Roy(PT Farms),the marinade has local

Ricotta Pie with my own Clementine Marmalade

Organic Garlic bits from Harvest Bounty farm in Tilton, NH. Unfortunately limes,balsamic vinegar,cumin ,Mexican oregano and olive oil are not native to NH. I also marinated the veggies (Onions,red & orange peppers) and I will cook them separately from the meat. It is  windy today and there is a red flag  fire warning  so I will be cooking inside using the broiler instead of the barbecue. We will have a wild rice mix and a salad with greens from our hoop house, plus the leftover Ricotta Pie for dessert. The Ricotta pie was made with our own eggs and topped with my own  Clementine Marmalade.  The meals later in the year will have more local ingredients!

My after meal report:

The meal was good, but the meat needed more salt in the marinade. The pan grilled marinated veggies were excellent and the rice and salad were very tasty. But no pie, as we are too full!

Look at the spring rainbow!

Finally we are having some rain….not much,but some rain is better than none! We had a lovely rainbow this evening  and everything is starting to get green. For the Weare Market this Friday 4/13 and  4/27 I will be bringing lamb legs, chops & stew. It is still chilly and we all need comfort food , so I will bring  beef kabobs, oxtail, bacon ,ham steaks and breakfast sausage. I will have an assortment of  pickles,relish,salsa,ketchups, jams,jellies and marmalades. You can taste before you buy,so don’t be shy and come on down,taste the local difference!
