Okay, so don’t freak out. I’m still a foodie. I did not choose this diet, it seems to have chosen me, but I will find whatever wiggle room my system allows for. I will eventually go back to enjoying cheese and ice cream, if not doughnuts and cake. But for the time being I’m making … Continue reading
Hi! Remember me? I used to blog here sometimes. And then I started my PhD and got hired back as a professor and my daughter turned 3 (hello!) and a bunch of other crazy stuff happened and I stopped writing about food. I still cook food, a lot. I still get my CSA and come … Continue reading
I’m vague-ing it up a bit on the title because this dish is a work in progress. I started with this recipe. And can I tell you how sad I am that the print version of Everyday Food is going away? It’s become one of my very favorite food mags. Sniff. Anyway, the November issue … Continue reading
I was stumped for something to cook the other day, but we’ve been going through cold after cold at my house (hello, preschool!) and soup seemed like a good idea. I started out thinking I’d do some kind of kale sausage thing, but switched midstream when I realized I had a bunch of CSA cilantro. … Continue reading
I love cooking for my family, but we are a small family. Two grownups and one munchkin. My husband doesn’t like to eat leftovers, and while I don’t mind them, I don’t like to eat the other 10 servings of lasagna, or stew, or whatever I’ve made too much of. So I’ve gotten really good … Continue reading
I have strange news. Are you sitting down? I seem to be becoming a vegetarian. No, really. About two months ago, I stopped craving and enjoying most meat. And I am the queen of bacon. Pork fat rules! It used to take a great deal of effort to not cook with pork on a daily … Continue reading
My CSA posted this recipe on their Facebook page last week and I knew I wanted to try it. But I ended up making a bunch of changes. A lot of chard recipes say to discard or save the stems for another use, but I like to use them with the greens when possible. The … Continue reading
This is another screw-up turned excellent new recipe. A few weeks ago our microwave died and we replaced it with a newfangled combo microwave and convection oven. Convection ovens are supposed to be great for roasting stuff. The circulate the hot air and cook evenly. Except mine, it turns out. I was making roasted root … Continue reading
Kohlrabi tastes kind of like broccoli, so I thought, why not use a broccoli cheese soup recipe and sub in kohlrabi? I made some modifications, and I used both the bulbs and the greens in this recipe. It came out great! 4 slices bacon 1 cup chopped onions fresh ground pepper Pinch nutmeg 1-2 cloves … Continue reading
This was a total experiment, but it came out really good. It was more about trying some soup techniques than the actual ingredients. I based it on a soup recipe my brother posted made from his garden veggies, but adjusted for the CSA stuff and assorted herbs I had in my fridge. 2 bulbs kohlrabi, … Continue reading
