Despite the groundhog’s promise of early spring, March stormed in like a lion with bitter cold. I certainly hope this is Old Man Winter’s “last hurrah.” Here’s one more video of winter scenes, weather and animals over the years. Next up…signs of spring! You can visit The Winter Category of my Common-Tater blog to see many more videos and photos of life on the farm in the winter.

While we are always #AgProud here at the farm, today is a special day. Canada’s Agriculture Day was created to recognize the work of all those who help produce the food that Canadians and people around the world eat. Every year on this day I release a new recipe to get you excited about eating locally grown and produced food. This year I settled on a crockpot creamy vegetarian stew with homemade savory dumplings.
Can you eat local produce in the dead of winter in Canada? You bet you can! My new recipe features eight different vegetables that are simmered in vegetable stock and flavoured with everyday spices. When the stew is almost done stewing, the creaminess is added along with slurry to thicken the broth. The finishing touch is the savory dumplings that will take you less than 5 minutes to make and will add a depth to the stew you will love. This tasty stew was inspired by a recipe that my youngest sister Becky Powers shared with me many years ago. Click on the PDF document above to print or download the recipe file. You can visit my previous recipes “Breakfast Twice Baked Potato II” and “Chili Loaded Potato Skins” for previous #AgProud recipes to inspire you to eat delicious & local. Bon Appétit! |
