Fig Biscuits

I got some fresh figs from family recently. They keep their figs in egg cartons to keep them from getting squished. I used gluten-free Bisquick and the biscuit recipe on the box to make fig biscuits. I scraped the insides of a dozen figs and mixed in a few tablespoons of brown sugar and then […]

Zucchini Fritters

She and I […]

Since our melons have started producing, I decided to try dehydrating some of the fruit. I used my own melons from the garden to make the dehydrated fruit. I […]
