Here at Farmhouse 1820, we (I) love to fill the house with greenery and arrangements throughout the holiday season.

Thanksgiving Timesavers and Reminders – Quick Tip Friday

Thanksgiving Timesavers and Reminders – Quick Tip Friday

I'm almost convinced that Thanksgiving is another word for food. It's all about the turkey (well, giving thanks too) and a bazillion side dishes and just as many desserts. It's the one holiday that we get a mulligan on food. This year it's only the four of us, and I have 7 side dishes on the menu. Whether you're serving a party of 4 or a party of 24, organization is key, and that calls for … [Read more...]

Thanksgiving Tablesettings With A Modern Mix

Thanksgiving Tablesettings With A Modern Mix

I can't remember when my affinity for dinner plates and pretty tablesettings came into play.

The Perfect Addition To Your Thanksgiving Menu

The Perfect Addition To Your Thanksgiving Menu

Every Thanksgiving, I cook the same menu that my family loves. It's the tradition, but this year, I want to change things up just a little, and add / substitute a few side dishes. Don't get me wrong, the core dishes will remain, and since I always insist on something green on the plate, then that calls for a Brussels Sprouts, Kale and Herbed Goat Cheese salad with a honey vinaigrette … [Read more...]

They're heading indoors without invitation, to try and stay warm and dry over the winter.

Thing is, there is one last task to do for your garden to prepare for the winter season, keep it nourished during the cold months and … [Read more...]

An Easy And Delicious Slow Cooker Apple Butter Recipe

An Easy And Delicious Slow Cooker Apple Butter Recipe

Keeping with tradition, the four of us went apple picking again this year. And, just like in previous years, we got over-zealous and picked at least a couple bushels of apples. Close to a hundred bucks and a darn-near broken back later, we came home with apples out the ying-yang. Now what?? Not to fear.
