Press Pause!
I want to first thank everyone who has journeyed with me on my Wiggleton Creek Farms adventures! They are certainly not finished, but I do feel it’s time to press pause. Last year, I gave up my food business in January, feeling that it was what I was supposed to do. Yet I really did not fully understand what the year would have in store. I truly enjoyed feeding people and the joy of putting…

#FarmersThankDonimos Day
Support those who support you has always been part of our business plan. Today it was certainly one of those moments to teach this important practice to our children. Dominos Pizza recently took a stand in favor of the Farmer. While many other restaurant chains have bought into animal rights groups’ propaganda, Dominos philosophy is Farmers know best. Tim McIntyre, Dominos spokesperson said,…

Proud Mom Moment: She Won a Heifer
Proud Mom Moment: She Won a Heifer
Last year I shared the story of my daughter buying her first feeder calf and how involved she wanted to be in the cattle business. The child has always loved to eat beef but didn’t really take an interest in business side of the cattle industry until last year. As she waited for her heifers to calve, she was hoping for black baldy heifer calves (black calves with a white face, usually a…

4 I's to Meal Planning
4 I’s to Meal Planning
One of the things I miss most about my cooking business is the fun of planning meals! When I had the business it forced me to plan meals far in advance and even though I probably spent way too many hours sorting through my recipes and picking just the right combinations, I enjoyed it! Life got way too busy last fall and I didn’t feel that I was putting enough effort into meal planning. So this…

Lessons on responsibility, risk and business skills
My husband has been looking forward to this moment every since the kids were born. The moment that the kids would start their own business adventure and to top it off in agriculture! We started building their herds early by giving them a heifer and letting them decide what to do with their calf. Each child has 2 cows, one bred heifer and some cash to put toward their future (college, house,…

Goodbye Strawberry Season
I am always so excited to get my first batch of strawberries each spring.🍓 It’s usually the official start of fruit season and they happen to be my favorite fruit! Last fall we planted strawberries in the high tunnel in hopes that I would get them even earlier than usual. I had been saving all kinds of strawberry recipes and could hardly wait to make them. However, my kids can put away some…

Raising cauliflower before the high tunnel was…. well…challenging! One of my favorite things thus far about growing in the tunnel is getting to eat the crops earlier, the quality of the greens, lettuce, cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower and I get to grow it twice a year!!! The only down side is that it all comes in at one time (I haven’t mastered staggered planting yet). So I usually save up recipes all year and when the crops hits, I wear my family out with whatever is in season and freeze the rest! We love eating cauliflower as a snack with some ranch dressing, in salads, but our favorite is buffalo cauliflower! While the idea of cauliflower crust pizza has intrigued me, I dreaded using one of my precious heads in something that my family might not enjoy. But as I stared at the 6 heads of cauliflower, I knew it was time!
Cauliflower Crust Pizza Crust 2 1/2 cups grated cauliflower 1 egg 1 1/4 cup italian cheese 2 Tablespoons of shredded parmesan cheese salt and pepper
Toppings 1/4 cup marinara or pizza sauce Pepperoni’s to cover sliced olives mushrooms diced onions 1 cup italian cheese sprinkle with dried italian seasoning
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line pizza pan with parchment paper. Grate the cauliflower using a hand grater until you get 2.5 cups. Microwave the cauliflower in a microwave safe bowl for 7 minutes. Let cool slightly. Mix in cheeses, egg and salt and pepper. Put mixture on pizza pan and press out in an 8-10 inch circle. Bake for 10-12 minutess. Take crust out of the oven and top with your favorite toppings. Bake another 10 minutes. Let pizza cool before slicing.
Results: The kids spilt on the tastiness of the pizza. I just wonder if they did not watch me grate the cauliflower, would their thoughts be different. My daugher liked it but prefered homemade pizza crust and my son said it was gross. My husband and I enjoyed it. My husband said it was a great use of cauliflower! (He ate a whole 8 inch pizza). So now if any of my gluten sensistive friends come over, I have another option for supper!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Obsession
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Obsession
Growing up there were always sweets in my house and my dad and I loved to indulge in all of them! I passed my sweet tooth on to my children and we love to choose new desserts to make each weekend. We all have different favorites but we can all agree that in the cookie department, chocolate chip cookies are KING! While making chocolate chip cookies, my daughter wanted to eat the dough, but I…

I love just about any kind of bread! Biscuits, yeast bread, sourdough bread, sweet breads, pizza crust and I could go on for days about my affinity for carbs. And in the winter, I have more time to try new bread recipes that I have been saving all year for just the right time to bake them. However winter is almost over (thank goodness) and I’m still packing on insulation like it’s my job. Bread is my culprit. In KY, spring does not officially arrive until the middle of March so I have a few more weeks to make it through the saved recipes and before things get extra busy on the farm!
So I’m going to make the most of the next few weeks!
Moderation and I have never been friends, so this weekend I’m going to try soft pretzels, pizza bread, along with my usual best bread machine bread. Ahh, my bread machine(s), now they are great friends. My aunt Edith got me my first bread machine 17 years ago as a wedding present and it’s still kneading with the best of them. So much so that my father in law bought me another one just like it when I thought mine might be on the fritz! Lucky for me, my husband was able to fix it with some simple adjustments!
I hope to share some of my favorites soon, but for now here is Allrecipes: Best Bread Machine Bread by SHECOOKS2.

In my job, I teach farmers about the importance of goal setting and how critical it can be for their farm operation. My husband and I have always set goals for the farm and our financials. But for the first time we set personal goals and family goals and included the kids in the goal setting process.
As I expected, my organized, list loving daughter loved the activity and asked if she could…

Squash Lasagna
Okay after my last post a friend sent me a recipe for a squash lasagna so I had to try it. I had my reservations as it was stacked full with vegetables and herbs, but no meat. For me, a meal just isn’t quite a meal with at least a little meat. So I added 1.5 lbs of ground beef and some fresh oregano to my homemade sauce. I didn’t have cottage cheese so I used sour cream instead and added…
