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
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 recipe is an amalgam of several different recipes. I have been trying to cut way down on my meat intake since the beginning of the year. Not full on vegetarian, but I’m trying to limit the number of servings I eat per week. This recipe uses some of my favorite things – fresh herbs, … 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.

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

Hi! I’m back! Things are a little nutty right now and I keep forgetting to photograph my work. But I did cook up a giant load of pumpkin the week after Halloween, and now I’m trying to find ways to use it. The night I cooked up all the pumpkin (that’s a big Cinderella pumpkin … Continue reading
I’ve made a lot of one pot dinners lately. You may have noticed. Tonight I got all ambitious and was going to make three dishes: Salmon with Red Pepper Pesto, Brown Butter Orzo, and sautéed chard with garlic. Nice! Well, I made the pesto, browned some butter and got the orzo cooking, cleaned and sliced … Continue reading
This recipe for Down-Home Chicken Stew is a delicious, relatively healthy recipe that uses up several fall CSA favorites – turnips, turnip greens, potatoes, and leeks. It takes a few steps, but if you do all your chopping first, you can do them at the same time. I also think it’s a great stew recipe … Continue reading
