I love summer vegetables. I love basil and tomatoes and dinners that take only 15 minutes from walking in the door to sitting at the table. The frittata is the perfect vehicle for a fast dinner. It’s easy, flexible, and you usually have all you need in the larder to complete the meal. Frittata Margherita … Continue reading
Sometimes you just don’t need to mess with the classics. Basil season, tomato season, Caprese. Fresh mozzarella layered with fresh tomatoes that have never seen the inside of a refrigerator*, sprinkle on basil leaves and drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pile on some proscuitto if you’ve got it, and you have the recipe … Continue reading
This recipe is purely the result of trying to use up some items in the kitchen cabinet. I had a bag of Arborio rice that I had long ago intended to turn into Greek rice pudding, but that never happened. And the sweet potatoes from the CSA are piling up in a bowl on the … Continue reading
Hooray for Pinterest! I have found some fantastic food blogs via other pinners. This one comes from Pinch of Yum and includes a few changes based on what I had in the fridge that week from the CSA – but it is mostly intact. This is a delicious dish – use the full amount of Tom … Continue reading
I know bacon wrapped pork sounds like deep-fried butter, but it’s actually really good and not at all greasy. The bacon really acts as a seasoning and sealant for the lean tenderloin. We usually don’t eat the bacon – it’s cooked, but not crispy (our dogs, however, have a field day). But the bacon grease … Continue reading
I must be becoming a grown up, because my love of Brussels sprouts grows deeper every day. Whoda thunk? I was so excited to be off over the holidays because it meant that I could whip up a quick and tasty lunch like this salad. It only took a couple of minutes, but was absolutely … 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’ll be the first to admit that pickled beets are pretty much day 1, item 1 in the beet agenda. But good gracious, they are good. And easy! And they just get tastier and tastier by the day. I’ve got round 2 of these baking in the oven as I type. This time it’s going … Continue reading
This is another great veggie recipe that we use when we get a lovely big acorn squash in our CSA box. The recipe is from the Georgia Pecan Commission. It is simple as can be. Slice a squash, seed it, brush with olive oil and bake cut side down for half an hour. Flip over, … Continue reading
Some friends of ours make grilled cabbage at a bbq we hosted last year and I was amazed at how delicious it was. I have a confession to make. My CSA cabbage often goes unused. I only have a couple recipes up my sleeve that use it. I used to put it in stir-fries, but … Continue reading
