The country life

Happy Saturday...

Its a sticky hot Saturday today here in Pa. A great day for the pool or staying inside and getting some things done. I will be doing both...


One of the things I love the most about the area we live in is the local produce. Within a one mile radius of our house I can find at least a handful of fruit and Vegetable stands. My favorite is a one stop farm that has been around for almost 200 years. They are still owned by the same family who all work there with the family dog and they have a little bit of everything. Fresh Jams, preserves, eggs, milk, baked goods,  fruit and vegetables that are in season, hanging baskets and even some antiques! You can pick your own blackberries and strawberries, apples and pumpkins. Its awesome in the fall with MUMS and fall decorating needs galore. They supplied all the tiny pumpkins that were used for name cards at Jessica's wedding this past fall.


I stopped by the other day and picked up the ingredients to make this fabulous Ricotta vegetable pie which turned out delicious! You can add or substitute different vegetables if you want to. Enjoy this easy to make pie!
