It’s the last day of January, which means winter is almost over, there’s a break from school on the horizon, and I’m already a good 2 weeks behind on my organizational calendar. Today was unseasonably warm (apparently it got up around 50 degrees!), so Brian and I went for a walk. It felt like spring, [...]
Sometimes when I want to cook a recipe that I’ve made before, I search the blog to remind myself of any tips or changes I may have discovered when I previously made it. Recently I tried to do this and discovered, to my shock, that I had never written about Giada DeLaurentiis’ Butternut Squash Lasagna. [...]
I recently discovered the Whole Grain Council’s “grain of the month” calendar and will be trying out a new grain each month, just because I needed to add another goal to my life. I got off easy last month: corn was an easy ingredient to find, use and write about. Based on the Whole Grain [...]
The other night, Brian made dinner while I was out. Since his last post was so well received, I suggested he write about it. Enjoy! In the last CSA pick up I encouraged Emily to grab a purple cabbage. At the time I had no idea what I was going to do, but Em was [...]
Remember last month when I posted about the Whole Grain Council and their “grains of the month”? I mentioned in that post that I wanted to try cooking with the suggested grain each month, just to expand my repertoire a bit. There’s a lot of rice and pasta happening around here and I know there’s [...]
When I posted my last CSA run-down I was sort of apologetic for not updating in over a month. Since then I’ve decided that I like reporting on several weeks at once. So much of the produce we pick up gets used in our lunches (carrot and pepper sticks, etc.) or as side dishes (broccoli, [...]
It has been a full month since I last posted about our CSA pick ups. There are a number of reasons for that, mostly the fact that I had too many other wonderful things to share. The week of the Healthy Living Summit, there was no photo of the food since Brian picked it up [...]
If it seems that I haven’t been posting much that I’ve actually cooked recently, there’s a good reason for that. I haven’t been very impressed with a lot of the things I’ve cooked lately. August, as you may recall, was ridiculous. School started a couple weeks ago and, contrary to my expectations (I’m being serious [...]
Contrary to appearances, Brian and I are still members of the CSA at Mighty Food Farm. It’s just been a crazy few weeks. The 11th pickup of the season was 4 days before our departure for the Northwest. Since Heather was kindly allowing us to stay at her apartment the night before our 6 am [...]
Head lettuce, kale, eggs, carrots, tomatoes (2 shares), zucchini (2 shares), scallions, dill I didn’t know there were going to be carrots available this week. They weren’t on the emailed list from the farm; I love farm-related surprises! Carrots are one of the few vegetables that we always have in the house, year round. [...]
