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.

Dinner for a Friend

FHFB and I have been to visit our friend Dave many times at Lindenmere in South Hero, Vermont. Dave is originally from New Jersey, and makes a trip back down here once or twice a year. 


The last time Dave was in New Jersey we hosted a small dinner party for him - and it was warm enough to eat out on the back porch. 


Here's what was on the menu:



If you have the time please check out some older blog posts about our trip to Lindenmere, Vermont.  It's truly a magical place that we love to visit.



(this blog post has another menu for you to check out!)

I'm linking in to Yvonne's first On the Menu Monday party at Stone Gable!

Ciao, bella!

  1. Bellissima...we seem to have much on our menu's in common. Burrata, crostini. That definitely sounds Italian. I'm in Texas, Yvonne is one of my most admired people and I am so happy to meet you today. Ciao & xx's

  3. Yum--asparagus and lemon pasta! I'm sure you must have a wonderful time when your friend comes. I visited your older postings and must say that this area of Lake Champlain looks beautiful, as does your friend's yard. I have been to the Shelburne Farms area of Lake C and also to the more southern tip. I'm not sure where Lindenmere is, but I will check a map! Have a wonderful day. Linda

  4. I have made your lemon pasta and it is WONDERFUL! Great menu with lots of delicous tastes. Goat cheese, roasted beets, asparagus, pasta, STEAK, and caramel sauce. This is my kind of meal.
    Thank you so much for participating in ON THE MEMU MONDAY and bringing us a great menu!
