Yes, Tiffany did an awesome version of these. My version is based off of this one, which has a slightly different makeup. My mom is visiting, and she also has a CSA in California so she also has lots of “kitchen sink” recipes. We’ve been trying hers (to be blogged soon), but we are both … Continue reading
You want to talk about cooking without a net, let’s talk amaranth greens. This was a first in the box for us. My husband pulled them out of the box and I was instantly entranced by how pretty they were. Silky leaves with a purple center, fading to green edges. And the name just sounds … Continue reading
This Christmas season was, by far, the busiest holiday season in my memory. At some point, I just had to take a “one day at a time” approach to everything and worry about the rest as it came. Make it through this Christmas pageant, make it through this party, make it through this family visit, … Continue reading

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
Baked potatoes and pizza – together at last to create the world’s most perfect food. This is seriously my new favorite food. I based this on a recipe by David Lebovitz that can be found here. I had been developing a pretty big food crush on this guy, and after eating this pizza, that food … Continue reading
Root veggies can be difficult to use up – especially when they have different textures. This is a technique I use most often for hard root veggies such as beets and carrots. If I’m using softer ones like turnips and potatoes, I add them to the cooking process later. Beets and carrots go great together. … Continue reading
There’s nothing particularly unique or special about the potato and squash hash that shows up at our house about once a week in squash season, but yum yum, is it good. We’ve found that this recipe is the perfect catch-all for cleaning out a fridge full of random veggies. In the summer it catches all … Continue reading
