Life lately. 🌷A field trip to the @coastalmain Life lately. 🌷A field trip to the @coastalmainebotanicalgardens with Lexi’s class. 🐶A visit with our Mimi, PopPop and Josie girl. 🌊Ocean walks with Mimi in winter coats (June in Maine! 🙃) 🎾 Lots of tennis. ⚾️ Baseball games. And even more canceled baseball because of 🌧️. It’s been a good and very busy couple weeks. We are ready for summer break!! #mainelife #boothbay #boothbayharbor #mainesummer
🌱Kelp harvest! Pauline Dion of the @boothbaysea 🌱Kelp harvest! Pauline Dion of the @boothbayseaandsciencecenter and lobsterman Eben Wilson graciously invited us this morning to witness their kelp (seaweed) harvest. We will be featuring kelp in a bunch of recipes in our cookbook, so we were excited to see this harvest in action. Some of the pictures taken today will be featured in the book. Lexi and I watched the kelp being gathered from their lines in East Boothbay, near Ocean Point Marina, on the Damariscotta River. Funny enough, the kelp lines are actually just down the river a short distance from our house. The giant kelp that you see here began as kelp seedlings that were grown on ropes in aquariums by local school kids through a partnership with the Boothbay Sea and Science Center + local schools. The tiny kelp (about an inch is size) were then placed into the river on larger ropes in December of 2024. Today was harvest day and the winter/spring growth of the kelp was incredible! The types of kelp shown here are alaria (great for cooking and drying) and sugar kelp (often used as an additive in foods). This particular batch isn’t for eating because it’s grown too close to the marina (it’ll be used for research), but grown elsewhere it absolutely can be. Thank you Pauline, RC and Eben for showing us the “ropes” today, quite literally!! #kelpharvest #kelpme #maineseaweed #sustainableseafood #maineseafood #eastboothbay #boothbaymaine #mainelife #kidscookbook
🎉 Big News! 🎉 Lexi and I are so excited to a 🎉 Big News! 🎉 Lexi and I are so excited to announce that we have been working on a New England inspired kids cookbook, to be published by @globepequot. If you’ve been around here for a while, this should be no surprise to you, as it’s something Lexi has been dreaming up for a couple years. This *hardcover* book will be packed with over 50 kid-friendly, kid-tested, Registered Dietitian approved recipes inspired by the flavors of New England—from lobster sliders and buttery panko baked oysters to wild blueberry pancakes and maple granola. With about 200 pages of hands-on fun, simple instructions, and helpful tips, it’s perfect for little chefs and their grown-ups to cook side-by-side. Whether you live in New England or just love cooking with nourishing, seasonal ingredients, this book will bring family-friendly flavors straight to your kitchen. Lexi and I have been cooking and writing up a storm and will be doing so through the end of the summer when the book is due to our publisher. If all goes smoothly, you should be able to have it in your hands by late summer 2026. Stay tuned for sneak peeks, the cover (!), preorder info, and lots more to come! Thank you in advance for your support! ♥️Jenny and Lexi #NewEnglandKidsCookbook #kidscancook #NewEnglandlife #cookbookauthor #FamilyCooking #newenglandfood #kidsinthekitchen #Kidfriendlyfood #newenglandliving #boothbaymaine #mainelife

Made with love (and maple syrup), this wholesome, Made with love (and maple syrup), this wholesome, crunchy Wild Blueberry Granola is just the thing to celebrate the moms in your life. 💛 Packed with oats, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, sweet dried wild blueberries plus maple, vanilla, and cinnamon, it’s nutrient rich and oh so delicious. We love it over yogurt, in a parfait, or straight from the jar. Wild Blueberry Granola Serves: 10-12 Total time: 1 hour 5 minutes + cooling time Ingredients: Dry ingredients: · 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats · 1 cup raw walnuts, chopped · 1 cup dried wild blueberries · 1/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds · 2 tbsp ground flaxseed · 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon · 1/2 tsp kosher salt Wet ingredients: · 1/3 cup melted coconut oil · 1/4 cup maple syrup · 1/4 cup dark brown sugar · 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract · 2 egg whites, beaten Instructions: Preheat oven to 300°F. Line a half baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine the oats, chopped walnuts, dried wild blues, pumpkin seeds, flaxseed, cinnamon, and kosher salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, dark brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry; mix until evenly coated. Beat the egg whites with a whisk. Pour over granola mixture; mix well. Spread in an even layer across the entire the baking sheet and press down on it using your hands to flatten. The granola should be in one large piece. Bake for 50-55 min, until golden and fragrant. Remove from the oven carefully using your oven mitts. Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cool, break apart using your hands, into clusters the size of what you like. We like big clusters. Store in an airtight container. Eat within a few days for best crunch. #MothersDaybrunch #brainhealth #omega3fats #brunchideas #KidApprovedEats #granolarecipe #wildblueberries #walnuts #brainfood #granolalove
