Raising a healthy Jane (or just being a healthy grown-up Jane) comes from good food and proper nutrition. Grab your aprons, I’m on kitchen duty with food to spare and recipes to share! When time allows, here’s where you’ll find one of my how-to-convert-to-an-organic-diet recipes.
Shirley Romig says: Love the picture.
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas
Nielsen,Winifred T. says: Have you all gone to the barn on Christmas Eve at midnight to see if these cutie pies talk?
MaryJane says: They do in fact, talk. All the time. It’s just that we have trouble with the words they use:) Guess what I started doing last night, Winnie? I’m taking citrus peels from the most wondrous health-giving citrus on Earth and I’m scraping the pith off and turning them into candied rind for Christmas. The rinds themselves are so good, those silly things kept popping themselves into my mouth. I am in heaven. Chocolate and citrus. Doesn’t get much better than that. And. And, AND, I’m going to use ChillOver marmalade as filling in some Aebleskivers for Christmas day.
Mmmm…can you share that recipe? Can it be as simple as dipping the rind into melted chocolate? And the calf is oh-so sweet…look at those lovely eyes and long eyelashes.
MaryJane says: No, you have to sugar it first by simmering the rinds in sugar (or honey) water for an hour or so and then you let it drip and dry for a couple of days. We published a recipe once–I’ll try to find it for you!
Melissa Eloe says: Who says cows aren’t beautiful? A Merry Christmas and Happy and Blessed New Year to you and your family, MaryJane!
Lisa Von Saunder says: Which adorable calf is this cutie? too sweet for words!
MaryJane says: This is Rosetta when she was younger.
Bonnie ellis says: Merry Christmas to all of you. Your cutie pie certainly looks decked out in the Santa hat. Love it!
Beth Watson says: So cute!
Karen Helbig says: Love that cow face!

Brrrrrrrrrr!!
and which little darling calf is this? too sweet. I want to do a calf shower !
This is little Ian Magillicutty who just turned 4 months old. With the winter we’re having he’s a woolly mammoth. He’s Lacy Lou’s calf and Magnolia’s future mate. I agree about a calf shower. Great excuse for a party. You’re invited along with your feline buddies.
OOOh, we wish we could! BB king and Earl want to meet all the calfs! You will just have to document it and put it here or in a future issue of MaryJane’s Farm. Give a hug to little Ian from us.
Cows are cool!
