Rhubarb Poke Cake

September 11, 2018 by thevettelfarm

My rhubarb patch is by far still very minuscule, THANKFULLY we have family members who are rich in rhubarb! Each year I get really lucky and I get to steal a few stalks to use for baking - rhubarb pie or my favorite, Rhubarb Margaritas. Since I am pregnant at the moment, the rhubarb margaritas are off the table, so baking it is!Some of my favorite summer cakes are those that are light and fruity and this rhubarb poke cake combines all of those elements. A light, airy vanilla cake that is infused with ruby red, rhubarb sweetness. Bonus - this cake is RED, WHITE, and BLUE! A perfect choice for your summer barbecue or 4th of July celebration, am I right? Red and white stripes dotted with ...

Easter Brunch Tablescape

September 11, 2018 by thevettelfarm

Jadeite is the best color for your Easter table setting, HANDS DOWN! It’s also the best color for Christmas, St. Patrick’s Day, Halloween, and Birthdays! (I might be a little biased!) But in all seriousness, I think that Easter offers the best palette for these vintage, vibrant dishes to shine.

I like incorporating a paper product element to make cleanup on Easter morning just a smidgen easier.

Tator Tot Knoepla Hotdish

September 11, 2018 by thevettelfarm

Hotdish is the iconic recipe of the midwest. It is growing in popularity due in part to the Food Network’s, Molly Yeh, from Girl Meets Farm. This recipe was inspired by her and it combines the classic North Dakota knoephla soup and Molly’s Classic Tator Tot Hotdish that meld together to create a perfect bite. These mini cocottes were the perfect portion for the knoephla. They would be so perfect for a party because they are so easy to dish up! If you head to my Instagram page @thevettelfarm you can enter to win your own set of Le Creuset mini cocottes in the palm color too! (Giveaway ended!) Ok, back to the knoephla. I prepared a basic knoephla recipe with the addition of a little ...

I went to a garage sale yesterday that had SO MANY I went to a garage sale yesterday that had SO MANY vintage 80s toys, many of which were toys I had as a little girl. It almost brought tears to my eyes, nostalgia just works that way I think. ❤️ 

I think holidays are such a special time and I love pairing that special nostalgic feeling with every season. Is it a curse? Maybe, but maybe not? 🥹🥹🥹

This was my creation last Fall and it was a huge hit! 👻 Use an embroidery hoop to affix a doily to create the body of the ghost and let the rest drape.
