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. I chose to use my Fireking plates in the Alice pattern as the base because I think they just scream ...

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 ...

We had a fun, final day at Brimfield today with a We had a fun, final day at Brimfield today with a few really neat finds but one very special one. There is SO MUCH jewelry at Brimfield, so naturally I wanted to bring home a few pieces for my girls. I stumbled upon a schnauzer pin. Since I’ve had three very special schnauzer pups in my life, I knew I had to have it. When I turned it over, I thought I was seeing things, my name, Courtney, was engraved on the back. 🥹🥹🥹 

Some treasures are just meant to be…..

Day 2 of Brimfield started with an epic box full o Day 2 of Brimfield started with an epic box full of vintage Christmas! 🎄 One of my items I really wanted to find was a Christmas department store sign and we found just the one! It was another great day, I’m looking forward to day 3 today! 🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄

I’ve had lots of questions about prices and in my honest opinion I think if you take the time to shop around, you will find deals! There are some places that are a little more expensive, but most vendors are very willing to negotiate. ❤️🎄❤️🎄
