Still Haven't Figured Out How To Do It All

Including blogging....but with Fall coming (my FAVORITE season), I will have more free time to explore the things I love doing and maybe finally figure out how to balance it all.  Spring and Summer are always quite hectic in my family, between keeping the horses fit, going to tournaments/shows, traveling for work plus the barrage of various other commitments, we are always on the go and never at home.  Maybe that's why I love Fall so much, life seems to settle down into a slow routine.

Following on my previous post, 2013 really has been the 'Year of the Foodies' for John (my husband) and I.  We've been back to our two favorite Frederick restaurants, Isabella's Taverna and Sumittra multiple times in the past few months.  But we have also tried some new ones as well, the latest being Acacia.  We went to Acacia during Frederick's Farm to Fork week, during which local restaurants showcased locally sourced products.  The food was quiet good, albeit a bit on the pricey side, but definitely put on the list for special occasions!

Now, lately I have been getting deliveries from South Mountain Creamery, a local dairy farm that not only delivers dairy products (glass bottled milk, butter, ice cream, etc.) but meats and eggs as well.  I have recently been trying to buy more local and/or organic foods, as not only do they taste better, you feel better eating them!

Recently we made these delicious burgers with Ground Beef and Provolone Cheese from South Mountain Creamery and Fresh Buns purchased at a local farmer's market.  We paired them with fresh corn and tomatoes from the same market.
