It is, after all, the Year of the Rabbit. This one’s my favorite. —“Young Rabbit” by Trevor Southey. This gem was drawn while the artist was in residence at the estate of Brocket Hall, Welwyn, Hertfordshire, England, while painting portraits of the 3rd Baron Brocket and Lady Brocket.

Happy Brigit’s Day! Even though it is 🥶 today, I’m so heartened that clever Mother Nature has sent the signal for seeds and bulbs to snap to life and start their journey to the surface and for the sap and nutrients to begin making their way up through the branches and limbs of the trees, beginning the ticking of the clock toward blossoming buds!

January is my favorite time to cook purposefully healthy, hearty soups in big batches to share and to have on hand for meals for a few days. I had forgotten the recipe, but found it on a bountiful kitchen! from years ago when I made it as a guest at a cooking class taught by Si Foster. https://abountifulkitchen.com/healthy-chicken-tortilla-soup/ BTW, if you haven't seen it yet, Si has released a new cookbook with beautiful photos and delicious recipes that remind us why homemade meals are best, best, best! It's available on her blog, A Bountiful Kitchen.

Healthy Chicken Tortilla Soup can be prepped a day ahead for quick cooking the day you serve. Serve with any combo of chips, cilantro, hummus, avocado, cheese or sour cream. Olé!

In the spring, Voila! --an abundance of green in late winter/early spring produce! :) This year, I'm following the sage advice from https://happydiyhome.com/fall-garden/

It will be exciting to see what grows in the garden unattended, under the blanket of leaves this winter.
Also, you can order potatoes, pie pumpkins, carrots, microgreens, and other produce this week and all winter long from our farm at https://www.3squaresproduce.com

Hello and happy hot summer from Utah—or as we (sort of) jokingly say, “Hello from the surface of the sun!” I hope this finds you happy and well! We are all doing fine. Jack is as busy as a farmer in hottest summer on record could be, which means he’s out in a field at first light, home and f...
