Welcome!

Welcome to the Frog Hollow Farm blog! I've been blogging since January 2010 and have switched from Blogger to Word Press, but I'm back to Blogger because, for me, it's easier to use. My husband and I live on a little farm in Northwest New Jersey. We have some chickens and a very large vegetable garden with asparagus and raspberries, and rows and rows of sunflowers, snapdragons and zinnias. Traveling, entertaining, gardening, spending time with family, studying Italian, blogging and reading keep us busy and happy. With all of this going on, moving towards a simpler life seems almost impossible but it's definitely a daily goal.

Valentine's Day at Frog Hollow Farm



Frog Hollow Farm Boy and I will be traveling in a few days, and I wanted to be sure to think ahead and have a delicious Valentine's Day dinner planned for him when we get home.
I'm not usually this organized, and I'm not sure that this will work for us.  We usually like to eat what we feel like eating on any given day, so planning too far ahead may put us in a position of not wanting fish for dinner. 
Does that make sense ? 
I know he'll love the pasta and the chocolate profiterole, but I also know he loves halibut and I wanted to try this very delicious recipe from one of the last few Williams-Sonoma catalogs. 

Don't their recipe photos always look so delicious?  

So, I'm doing some of the grocery shopping this week and freezing the halibut since we can't always find it in the grocery stores around here and I don't want to be running far and wide the day we get home.

    I love profiteroles, it's one of my favorite desserts! And we never know what we're going to eat very far in advance so I understand! Sounds like a wonderful Valentine's dinner menu and I hope you have a safe and fun trip!

    hello my friend...happy to see you at Farmhouse...about the cream puffs...actually, the ones i made at Christmas were better....

    my mom made beautiful cream puffs.... i was reading in Sarabeth to turn the oven off when they are done and let the cream puffs sit in there..make sure the puffs are golden brown and when making them...use the dough immediaetly...don't let it cool or they won't puff...and after they are cooked remove the soft dough inside and let them just sit....and hopefully they will remain puffy and crispy...

    i loved seeing your brunch at The Russian Tea Room...i have always wanted to eat there too...

    Let me know about the cream puffs...and i LOVE your menu...looks great

    Happy Valentines Day

    Kary and Teddy
