Dinner at the Cottage -- This is how we roll

There's this place called Hi Berry that is a farm between Port Elgin and South Hampton, on Lake Huron. They sell produce right off their farm, and it's great fun to stop in daily for fresh veggies for dinner. Right now they have new potatoes, asparagus a plenty, swiss chard and spinach, strawberries, and just yesterday, kohlrabi. We made many meals of tiny tiny roasted sweet potatoes (think the size of marbles) and lightly sauteed asparagus (with garlic scapes, yum). Pancakes are a ubiquitous favourite of my family, and we made a grain and gluten free version containing lots of almond flour, hemp seeds, and flax seeds that were abso-fab with the local maple syrup. Dessert was strawberry apple pie filling (yum yum)

gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, protein-rich pancakes made with almond four, flax meal, and hemp seeds

ubiquitous sauteed broccoli ... we are so predictable

mini roasted potatoes with herbs and cumin ... or nothin' at all

asparagus season is short lived, so eat up ...

pie minus the pi


and there you have it!
