Farm Friday
Well the snow is here and the lavender is long gone, but its nice to remember what our farm looked like just a few short weeks ago. Love the pop of purple next to all the rustic colors of fall on our farm. Hope you all have a lovely weekend. 


Beet & Goat Cheese Arugula Salad
Sometimes you eat something, and you know you are doing your body a favor, but your tastebuds hate you for it. Well this salad is a better version of that. Its a packed with powerful good for you ingredients, but your mouth will actually enjoy eating it! 


Ingredients: 
2 cups arugula 
1 ounce goat cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup pickled beets, chopped
1/4 cup smoked almonds, chopped
2 tablespoons red onion, diced 
1 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp pepper

Directions: 
Mix together all ingredients, eat, and be happy. 


The Perfect Snickerdoodles
Snickerdoodles are such a great cookie this time of year. I think its something about the cinnamon that just screams the coziness of the season. I love the tanginess the cream of tartar gives these cookies as well. They are chewy, soft, and a little bit spicy. So good. 


Ingredients: 
1 cup butter, room temp
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 3/4 cups flour
2 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt

For rolling: 
1 tbs cinnamon
1/4 cup sugar 

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix all ingredients in mixer. Roll into 1 1/2 inch balls, then mix together your cinnamon and sugar, and roll the balls in that until their entire outside is coated. Then bake for 8 minutes. 


These cookies are the perfect texture, a delightful soft and chewy cookie perfect for fall.
