The Start of our first Garden!

The whole reason we decided to move to the Hudson Valley, out of noisy NYC was to start living a little more off the grid. First step was to get a piece of land and start growing our own vegetables and herbs. Second was to make our cooking so delicious that everyone would want to eat something so tasty and creative. Third is to start our own catering company.

Step one is now complete and we have vegetables growing thanks to John Paul Sliva and Joe Baldwin of Red Hook Community Gardens. They took us in, gave us land, and helped us understand how to truly appreciate the benefits that a garden can bring to a community.

Homemade bread, take 1

It's amazing how much people are willing to pay for bread at the store. I have learned to make my own bread with 5 ingredients. So much cheaper, more delicious and healthier. 

Why are there lists of 50 ingredients we don't even know how to pronounce in packaged bread when it only takes 5 to make fresh???

First time making bread in a bread pan. Success!

Ferncliff Forest

Since moving to a country setting, mountain bikes were essential. For $100, we got 2, plus 50 bucks to have them delivered to our door. BONUS! The bikes have proven to be a perfect method of transportation as well as awesome off road discovery vehicles.

Ferncliff Forest is not too far away and offers lots of mountain terrain for biking and hiking. 




This is the lookout tower that you are able to climb and it has views of the entire Hudson Valley, the Hudson River and the Catskill mountains.

It almost seems like no one lives here, but they do, lots of them.





Simple lunch of home made bread, apples, cheese and almonds on a wooden picnic table in the middle of the forest.

Moving on up

After a long time living in NYC, it was time to move on out. It was too crowded, too noisy and way too hectic for the kind of life we wanted to live. Instead, we wanted something quiet, peaceful and natural.

But first to settle in to small town life...and begin to enjoy the view from our covered patio.
