After months of eating mediocre produce, I always look forward to eating fresh, homegrown tomatoes, greens and herbs. They pair so well with locally made cheeses like the ones available from Conebella Farm. Fresh Mozzarella and Cheese Curds are simple and versatile cheeses, perfect to have with fresh produce, good bread and dipping oil. […]
One of my favorite things in summer is a cup of iced coffee in the afternoon. I recently learned the art of making ice cream at home too. So it wasn’t long until I figured out that the two can be combined into one delicious treat. I’m pretty particular about my coffee and was […]
There are few things more tasty than melted cheese and crispy potatoes. Conebella Farm’s Sharp Cheddar won first prize and best in show at the Pennsylvania Farm Show earlier this year, and there’s no debate that this cheddar is truly delicious in any form, but melted on potatoes is an absolutely delicious way to enjoy […]
I used to always have a batch of freshly baked Maple Pecan Granola on hand. Always. I ate it every morning for breakfast with milk or yogurt, and often as snacks with yogurt and fresh fruit. Then life got in the way and I stopped baking granola as often. I resorted to buying granola, which […]

That was this apricot cheddar crostata recipe for me. It looked so fancy, and with such an unusual combination of ingredients, […]
There’s something so refreshing about cold, sweet treats in summertime. I remember eating many popsicles, freeze pops, Italian ice and my favorite, homemade popsicles, as a child. I’m not sure if it was the satisfaction of having helped out that made it taste so much better, but getting kids involved in food preparation definitely piques […]
