The best Coconut Curry Whitefish (Cod) Protein you will ever have.

I have been cheating recently.  I’m not proud of myself but I am not hiding it either. I have a new love affair.  I have cast aside what would previously have been my first white meat love, chicken– in order to satisfy my tastebuds even further with another white meat love. I was only in love with chicken solely when I was young and naive and had no idea how great this fish was.  Such is life. But, you live and learn.  LOL  Specifically, I just have to share with you that I have developed this huge (I’d like to think it’s healthy) crush onRead More →

I am just throwing this out as a warning.  These moist zucchini muffins with this delectable sweet crumb topping may just cause you to turn into a human vacuum.  By that I mean, you may just Hoover these bad boys right up.  That is how moist and completely delicious they are.  Holy heck.  I have now made these twice this week!  Partly because I have zucchini coming out of my ears and partly because I made them first without a crumb topping and they were good but not mind blowing.  Fast forward to this morning and the sweet addition of this crumb topping…Boom! I likeRead More →

Today is solar eclipse day. Everyone with eyes glued upward and some who didn’t get a chance to buy the $65.00 paper glasses frying their retinas just to take a glimpse. Me? I just watched it on the news as the farmland around me darkened for a couple minutes. Really exciting stuff huh? No judgment people. It just wasn’t my thing. This is my first blog post in quite some time. You see, I have been doing my best in the last few days to be “normal” again and assimilate back into the human race after weeks of trying to become healthy again after aRead More →

Homemade buns at their best.

I do have a little thing for big soft hamburger buns.  Call it a “bun crush.”  Not buns of steel which I should have a crush on but soft doughy hamburger buns. Nothing’s better than a fresh baked hamburger bun, used immediately after baking with a large Galloway Grassfed Beef hamburger patty.   Nothing but, having a bunch of those hamburger bun babies bagged and frozen, ready to go at a moment’s notice for impromptu hamburger dinners.  I am a helluva hotmess these days when it comes to dinner.  Not really interested thanks.  LOL  As such, last night we had dinner in Missoula at myRead More →

Ever have one of those months when you are just anti-kitchen?  I’m there.  Just keeping it real folks.  Summer is here and there about 10,000 berries to pick, a hen house full of chickens, a cattle herd that I enjoy photographing and a house to decorate farm style.  If I had a superpower right now at this very moment it would be the ability to avoid the kitchen.  My kitchen game has been much like a soup sandwich these last couple weeks. Occasionally this month, I have meandered through that place called the kitchen and thrown a good meal together, including this absolutely wonderful BakedRead More →

Ok, so now that we’re in this a bit, let me do a recap in my lessons in country living.  For all my city friends this may be enlightening and at the very least somewhat entertaining…for all my country friends, it’s ok if you roll your eyes at my silliness here while you nod your head in agreement at my stating the real deal about country life. So, if you’ll remember, these are the facts of life in the Country. 1.)Rubber Boots.  You will wear them, you will rock them. 2.) Camo.  Worn way too much here in Montana Country. 3.) Baseball caps, jeans andRead More →

When your husband, a foodie and fish lover, utters the words “monumental” and “outstanding” in regards to THIS salmon dish, you know it is an undeniable out of this world type of meal. And it is. It was. Devoured is really the term. See, I made this dish and the husband called and said he was going to be late so I sat down to consume this with my daughter and set his out to sit on the counter until he could get here. While my little country girl fidgeted in her high chair and squished the salmon between her little fingers, I took myRead More →

Remember that commercial where they spelled it out?  “J-E-LL-O…”  No.. Hmm.  Ok, moving on…Nothing to see here. haha If jello is your fav or you are looking for a throwback to childhood, this jello salad is a slightly sophisticated version of the old stand by and is unbelievably creamy and sweet at the same time.  I found a version of the one I made today in an old Taste of Home Magazine from last Summer.  I adapted this recipe using different fruit and jello (basically what I had on hand).  I loved the picture of the colors even though I am a milk chocolate girlRead More →

I tell you what….this Thai BBQ Shrimp is so yummy and delicious I almost want to keep the flavors to myself.  Almost.  I am not stingy like that though and I truly think that friends shouldn’t let friends eat yukky food.  Know what I mean?  I am not like those peeps that like to hold all the great food recipes close to the cuff and never ever share what’s in em.  I have been around thoooose kinds of people.  Share the love folks…share it. So, back to these tasty shrimp morsels of crustacean goodness!  There was this little hole in the wall back in LasRead More →

Thai Red Curry Peanut Chicken - Big Sky Farmhouse

With Summer in full effect, the food fair has been a little less uhh, filling..in our neck of the woods.  Not the time for warm bowls of chili or clam chowder or mac and cheese…although those things are completely and utterly amazing, warm days just call for salads and protein in our house most of the time.   This Thai Red Curry Peanut Chicken fits in perfectly with that plan.  Packed full of flavor, this chicken is perfect with a salad or sautee’d veggies and if you are craving some carbs, rice would accompany it very well due to the amazing sauce/marinade.
