Sharon Moore, the founder of Rosies Workwear for Women, was on Daily Grommet this week. Rosies overalls were selected as the featured product! The video below from Daily Grommet shows Sharon explaining how she came up with the idea for Rosies and what makes Rosies overalls so special.

In celebration of the official start of spring last week, we thought we would share some of our favorite recipes for the warming weather. What are your favorite spring recipes? Please click ‘comments’ below to share!

Lavender Honey Lemonade

From Mother Earth News

Ingredients:
1 cup honey
5 cups water
1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender (or 1/4 cup fresh lavender blossoms)
1 cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice, strained
Ice cubes
Lavender sprigs for garnish

Directions:
Combine honey with 2 1/2 cups water in a medium pan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the honey.

Add the lavender to the honey water, cover, and remove from heat. Let stand at least 20 minutes (and up to several hours).

Strain mixture and discard lavender. Pour infusion into a glass pitcher. Add lemon juice and another 2 1/2 cups of cold water. Stir well.

Refrigerate until ready to use, or pour into tall glasses half-filled with ice, then garnish with lavender sprigs.

Tangerine-Glazed Easter Ham with Baby Carrots

From Food Network

Ingredients:

1 (8 to 10-pound) smoked ham, bone-in, skin on

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 bunch fresh sage leaves

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut in chunks

2 tangerines, sliced thin, seeds removed

2 cups tangerine juice

2 cups light brown sugar, packed

1 cup water

1/4 teaspoon whole cloves

2 cinnamon sticks

11/2 pounds carrots, peeled

 

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.

Put the ham in a large roasting pan, fat-side up. Using a sharp knife, score the ham with cuts across the skin, about 2-inches apart and 1/2-inch deep. Cut diagonally down the slashes to form a diamond pattern; season the meat generously with salt and pepper. Chop about 8 of the sage leaves and put it in a bowl; mix with the oil to make a paste. Rub the sage-oil all over the ham, being sure to get the flavor into all the slits. Bake the ham for 2 hours. Now there is plenty of time to bang-out the tangerine glaze.

For the glaze: Place a saucepan over medium heat. Add the chunks of butter, tangerines, tangerine juice, brown sugar, water, and spices. Slowly cook the liquid down to a syrupy glaze; this should take about 30 to 40 minutes.

After the ham has being going for a couple of hours, pour the tangerine glaze all over it, with the pieces of fruit and all. Scatter the remaining sage leaves on top and stick the ham back in the oven and continue to cook for 11/2 hours, basting with the juices every 30 minutes.

Scatter the carrots around the ham and coat in the tangerine glaze. Stick the ham once again back in the oven and cook for a final 30 minutes, until the carrots are tender, the ham is dark and crispy, and the whole thing is glistening with a sugary glaze.

Set the ham on a cutting board to rest before carving. Serve the carrots and tangerine glaze on the side.

From Mother Earth News

1 cup hot water
3/4 cup sugar

Hi Rosies,

Grace won not only the 4 dog pro but the 6 dog pro as well with her sled skills, and Lily who is only 13, battled her out in the 4 dog pro and snuck into 2nd. Lily also won the junior Yukon, which consists of a mass start of dog-less drivers, who race back to their truck, harness up dogs, and whoever makes it to the start chute first gets to go out first!

Now the kennel is in spring mode, resting through mud season, then doing a few canicross races later on.

Many thanks again for your support!!

Best wishes,

Diane

Last week Rosies Workwear for Women was a vendor at the World Ag Expo in Tulare, California. It was an amazing experience. With 2.6 million square feet of show grounds and 1,600 exhibitors, World Ag Expo is one of the largest agriculture trade shows, with an average of 100,000 attendees. The three-day expo in Tulare, California was definitely the world hot spot for agriculture technology and innovation and Rosies was in the middle of it all.

We had so much fun at our booth (see pictures below) meeting women in action from all over the world who love our overalls and coveralls. One Rosie who was visiting the World Ag Expo from France was so enthralled with our products she posted pictures of our booth on her blog. Click here to see the pictures. She says on her blog It’s nice no? Combinaisons pour fermires dans le vent: marque ROSIES. Very nice girls isn’t it?

We can‚ wait for the World Ag Expo next year and a chance to introduce the world to Rosies new insulated overalls. And show off some new colors and designs of coveralls.

PS: Congratulations to Jacque Vantassel! You are the lucky lady who entered our contest to win the book Made From Scratch by Jenna Woginrich at our World Ag Expo booth!!!

Dear Rosies,

We love seeing our reports on your website and Facebook! Woo hoo! Attached are a couple more pictures of the gals in their Rosies!

This weekend the kennel traveled across the border to Woburn, Quebec and raced in sub-zero conditions. We were the only American team. It was our most outstanding success of the season. Lis won the exceptionally competitive 8 dog pro class besting a very well known Canadian racer, Lou Serre, with a team of yearlings, which is basically unheard of. The course was out and back, meaning that there is a great deal of head on passing. Grace and Lily held their own in a huge competitive field of seasoned Canadians, Grace getting a blistering 3rd, and Lily in her first 6 dog pro, in 6th. These gals were the youngest drivers. This week the kennel heads to Massena, New York.

Love the pink!

Take care,

Diane
