This Week in My Kitchen


I've recently been enjoying the opportunity to peek into other kitchens at Heather's This Week In My Kitchen::Blog Hop.  This week I thought I'd join in the fun.









Between my small garden and a first trip to the farmer's market, we've been enjoying a bit of farm to table dining.
The first local strawberries have arrived.  As soon as I neared them at the market, the smell permeated the air.  Oh, what a difference from those grocery store berries :).  When I spotted the rhubarb it was instantly decided that strawberry rhubarb crisp would be on the menu.

  1. It looks like we ate a lot of the same things this week, except I have never eaten rhubarb.
    Love your roses, mine are pink.

  3. I love the farm to table concept and feel guilty not growing edibles (other than herbs) this season. We will be gone for June so having a veg garden is out of the question, BUT, perhaps in July I can rustle up some late season delicacies such as tomatoes, and I'd love to grow some winter squash!

    Your strawb/rhubarb crisp looks wonderful Kim, I love that fruit combo. I have local strawberries and must run out later for rhubarb! I'm also making spinach/zucchini soup today - one of our favorites with a nice crusty baguette.

    Happy day - stay cool it's warming up here to 90, whew!!!

  12. I love these photos of what's been happening in your kitchen. The blue flowered pitcher is so charming. Local strawberries taste nothing like the crunchy, flavorless ones from across the country. Strawberries and rhubarb are a match made in heaven!

  13. I LOVE strawberries and rhubarb. I made a fruit salad today and put one of the biggest strawberries I've ever seen in it. Took a picture but forgot to post it today. I will tomorrow though.
    Great kitchen pictures!!! I'm hungry now. : )

  15. It is almost 9:00pm, and who would think that I would find myself hungry at this time, but I am after seeing every one of your outstanding pictures. Your food photography is exceptional! You certainly did bring farming goodness to your table! In my mind it is the perfect match...strawberries and rhubarb.

    Hope you have a lovely Mother's Day weekend!

  16. This is a fun meme. I follow The Blessed Hearth and she participates in it often. I also can't wait for fresh strawberries. We will have our own rhubarb but will have to wait for it to grow. The leaves are unfurling already. The strawberries will be a few weeks yet. Your photos are lovely.

  22. Oh we love rhubarb around here!!! Right now we have three rhubarb plants in the garden, but since it's the first year we can't really harvest any. I bet the crisp was fabulous!
