Rhubarb Margaritas

May 5, 2021 by thevettelfarm

Happy Cinco De Mayo! It has been a very fiery week here in North Dakota, so I thought to lighten the mood we definitely need some margaritas in our life! And what a better way to kick off the return of warmer weather and the hint of summer right around the corner. Rhubarb is one of my favorite things to freeze, so we can enjoy it all year long. These margaritas are my absolute favorite thing to make with Rhubarb Syrup!  First, I cooked the rhubarb with water to extract all of the rhubarb goodness and paired that with a little sugar. I let that mixture meld in the fridge for a few hours. Then mix with tequila and ice and POOF you have a succulent rhubarb margarita to sip ...

Rhubarbecue Sauce

June 4, 2020 by thevettelfarm

I have seen so many scrumptious desserts made with big chunks of rhubarb, but they just do not speak to me. I am not much of a pie person or one to eat cooked fruit, so I am continually looking for new ways to use rhubarb. In the past, my favorite way to savor the rhubarb of the season, was with a margarita, until I discovered RHUBARBECUE sauce! It is the perfect blend of the sweet rhubarb and tangy barbecue that you are used to, all mixed into one luscious sauce! AND it even offers up a delicious juice (that can be saved for future margaritas if needed). We used our rhubarbecue sauce on a set of pork spare ribs and I can tell you - THEY. WERE. AMAZING! My two and five year old ...

This is what nostalgia looks like in red, white, a This is what nostalgia looks like in red, white, and blue. 🇺🇸 An antique carousel horse, weathered crocks, and American flags waving in the summer breeze.

Maybe that’s why we love old things. They remind us of county fairs, Main Streets, front porch conversations, and summers that seemed to last forever. Not because the past was perfect, but because these treasures help us hold on to the memories that matter most.

Here’s to preserving history, celebrating Americana, and finding beauty in the stories that came before us. ❤️🤍💙

Happy Memorial Day! 🇺🇸 AI images are starting to r Happy Memorial Day! 🇺🇸 AI images are starting to really get me down,  so here are a few real collections, faded colors, timeworn details, and the kind of nostalgia that can’t be generated by a prompt. Every flag, crockery, rusty sign, and patriotic trinket carries a little piece of history with it.

Americana was never meant to be perfect. It was meant to be lived in. 🇺🇸

I find vintage books all the time, so I’m always l I find vintage books all the time, so I’m always looking for unique ways to use them and display them. For this DIY, I rolled the pages of vintage books into delicate little holders for faux florals, turning worn paper and timeworn pages into something full of charm.

Sometimes the loveliest décor comes from the things people overlook at antique stores and thrift shops. A faded book. A little imagination. These would be fantastic for any season, wouldn’t they be magical for Christmas?!?!
