Recipe development day at Anvil & Apron.

One of the things we love most about cooking in Far West Texas is working with ingredients grown by our friends and neighbors.

This zucchini was grown locally in Alpine, Texas by a friend and became the inspiration for a farm-to-table side dish: a zucchini boat filled with smoked chicken, sage, and herb stuffing.

We’re always experimenting with seasonal ingredients and new menu ideas for future dinners and catered events. Not every recipe makes the final menu, but every great dish starts somewhere.

Would you order this at a farm-to-table dinner?

Welp- Far West Texas weather never does anything halfway.

This storm rolling in on the horizon is a reminder that monsoon season is just around the corner and with the rain comes a whole new set of challenges for horses and ranch life.

A few simple hoof-care reminders during wet weather:

• Pick hooves daily to remove mud, rocks, and packed debris.
• Watch for thrush—wet conditions can create the perfect environment for infection.
• Keep standing areas as dry as possible, especially around water troughs and gates.
• Maintain regular trims; overgrown hooves trap moisture and mud more easily.
• Check for tenderness or odor after heavy rains and call your farrier or vet if something seems off.

Out here, the weather shapes everything we do. Stay safe, enjoy the rain, and give those horses a little extra attention this season.

Tomato focaccia is a real treat—The roasted tomatoes bring a little sweetness and tang, and every bite’s got that perfect balance of chew and crunch.

It’s the kind of bread that doesn't need much—just a quiet moment, which is why it's long been a favorite of hikers and campers!

Our kid's friends call it "the fluffy pizza bread" and it makes a perfect lunch paired with salad!

Grab it, and other items tomorrow at the Alpine, Texas Farmers Market
