I was recently talking to a friend of mine who is really into veggies. He said, a little regretfully,
“The one thing I don’t do is make my own salad dressings.”
My conversation with my friend gave me the idea to write this blog post!
Maybe you also wish you made your own salad dressings but don't know where to start?
I can help!
We make all of our own salad dressings at our house …

A common question I get is…
“How do I buy from you?”
No, we don’t attend the farmers market and don’t have a traditional farm stand…
"So what exactly do you do??" You may ask.
We feed over hundreds of local couples and families fresh vegetables grown on our small farm Dover Foxcroft all year round!

I totally get it. It takes a lot of time to prepare your family meals full of all natural ingredients, especially lots of fresh vegetables like you want to!
So much chopping, slicing, dicing, right? Who has time for all of that??
You’re busy. You’ve got kids or grandkids… You’ve got work… Doctor's appointments... Or just LIFE to keep you busy and you can’t spend all day in the kitchen.
I’m the same way!

Soup is the same way. And broth is that foundation.
Broth is a magical ingredient in soup that you can’t see, but makes it taste so much better.
Because I love …

Picture this:
You have a fridge full of veggies, and you are busy and…
Them: Hey what’s for dinner?
You: Mmm, I think it’s going to be stir-fry again tonight…
Them: Oh, boring!
OR
That again!
Does this ever sound like your house??
Or maybe your husband says he “won’t eat plain stir-fry,” leaving you searching for a more creative way to use up the veggies in your fridge…
Well, I totally understand …

Kids love rituals, right?
Well, my daughter used to have one every night that when she was ready to go get her father to read a book before bed, she'd run down the hall yelling “WHAT’S THE LOW TONIGHT, DAD?”
And even more humorously she invariably answered her own question with something not-so-seasonal-anymore like “probably sixty-six”.
We've had a few nights already where Gene answered her question with “29”.
Now that we've reached the second half of October, hard …
