Dreams of orange & cream

Old Forge Distillery gave me a bottle of their Orange & Cream liqueur and I’ve used in several things. These truffles I think are the best. Any of their Creams would work for this and you can change up the chips to anything you like. 

Orange & Cream Truffles

2/3 cup OFD Orange & Cream 

1 1/2 tablespoons butter

1 11oz package of white chocolate chips

1/2 cup confectioners sugar for dusting. 

Heat Orange & Cream over Med heat to a light simmer. Turn off heat and stir in butter until melted. Stir in white chocolate chips. Stir briskly until completely melted and smooth. Pour into an 8×8 dish and chill for 2 hours. Using a teaspoon or small scoop, scoop out 1 inch balls and roll in the palms of your hands to smooth out. Roll in powdered sugar. Store in airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Nice thick inch and a half pork chops, cooked in brown butter with fresh pineapple sage from my kitchen garden and @thecosmiccrisp apples. This is not a paid endorsement, I just really love these apples. I eat one nearly every morning, and I love finding ways to cook with them. They browned up beautifully and tasted amazing with everything. And pineapple sage has become one of my favorite herbs. In the butter the leaves get a little crunchy and have a nice tooth to them. #porkchops #porkchopsandapples #pineapplesage #castironcooking #southerncastiron #southerncastironmagazine #appalachiancooking #appalachian #castironskillet #cosmiccrisp #cosmiccrispapple #food #foodporn #foodpics
I know I’ve been absent for a bit. Work has kept me pretty busy. We are in the middle of putting our yearly catalog together, so it’s been photo shoots, cooking, copy writing, and now we get to proofing. It’s a part of my job I really enjoy, but it can be very time consuming. Got home Thursday and didn’t feel the best. Went to the dr yesterday and I have a sinus infection. I’m fine, just worn out a bit. Well, some have noticed my absence and reached out, and I really appreciate that so much. I’ve had the great fortune of making real friends through this platform. @theappalachianhomestead advised me to make a tea of thyme, sage, and honey, all of which I have growing in my kitchen garden. ( @mustloveherbs would be so proud) I truly treasure both of you and am honored to count you among my friends. Have a great weekend everyone. Now I’m gonna go drink my tea, cause mama said so. #tea #formedicinalpurposes #mamasaid #goodfriends #herb #herbs #themoreyouknow #themoreyouknow🌈 #herbgarden #kitchengarden
I did end up sleeping on the screen porch. It never got below 86 in the house all night with windows up and fans blowing. So now we have a sleeping porch, and I’m not mad at it. The air got fixed this morning and I am told it’s getting cold in the house. It’s a good day again today. #sleepingporch #itshotinhere #sleepingoutside #glamping
Today was a good day. We planned on heading up to @mickontheporch ‘s parents this morning. I made a peach cobbler for mom and she said it was the best one I’ve made yet. Then his parents talked about maybe needing a new freezer. Theirs is a 6 ft chest freezer that works great after 40 years, but it’s not frost free and the door hinges are shot, so the top (which weighs a ton) has to be held up. Mom has been using an old crutch for a few years. We have been expecting a call telling us that she got stuck under the freezer door for quite a while now. They decided maybe a new upright frost-free is what they need, but mom wanted to see one in person. No one has floor models of them right now, so we ran by our house for her to look at ours. Then we sat down on the porch, ordered one online, and headed to take her home. She mentioned wanting a milkshake, so we stopped. Then while eating it on the way home we took a couple of detours down country roads and memories long tucked away. She hates long car trips, but we drove around for about 2 hours. Dad was waiting at the garage door when we pulled up. He probably got a little worried, but never said a word. It was a good day. Then we came home and our air went out after we left with her. It’s 86 inside, so we’re all on the porch. I may sleep out here. #goodday #rememberthesedays #mom
@mickontheporch ‘s mom loves peach cobbler. I canned peaches last year, but haven’t even had time to buy peaches, much less can them. But, knowing how much she likes it, I pulled out 2 quarts and made her a big ole cobbler and we’re on our way up to take it to her. She won’t wait 5 min to pull out some ice cream and scoop some out. She says that ice cream cuts the sweetness. Lol The recipe for a regular batch is on my website and link is in my profile. I just doubled the recipe today. #cobbler #peachcobbler #canning #homemade #fromscratch #myrecipe #linkinbio #linkinprofile #foodporn #foodpics #thefeedfeed #peaches #peaches🍑 #yum #yummy #pleaseshare
Back in November one of our neighbors passed away. She fed 3 cats that roamed the neighborhood, had them fixed, and gave them each a name. We would see them in our backyard often, but they never came to us. After she passed we would see someone stop by to feed them, but also saw a neighbor’s dog go empty their dishes, so we began going over to feed them each day and they began to trust us. The house sold and is being worked on, and all the noise has driven them off….to our backyard. Lol. They wait to be fed each morning and evening. This is Sarah Jane. She is getting old and we think going blind, so she rarely leaves the backyard. We got her a house and tried to give her a water bowl, but she prefers the birdbath. They all come to us now and can hang out as long as they like. #neighborhood #cats #catsofinstagram #catlover #catstagram
