He Cooks! – Scrambled Egg Edition
We haven’t had an installment of “He Cooks” for quite a while. I keep waiting for the Fab Hub to whip up his Oregano Teriyaki Chicken, but he never steps up to the plate to offer. Hmm. Guess we’ll just have to wait on that one. In the meantime, it is worth mentioning that the…
Soup of the Week – Summer Squash Edition with a Berry Bonus
I love soup during the fall and winter months. My Mom does Soup of the Week at her house in the winter; make a big batch of something wonderful and keep it on hand for meals all week. We did that here this winter, but I never figured on getting hooked on soup in the…
What I’m Reading – An Everlasting Meal
I am late to Mama Kat’s Thursday link-up party, but this week’s writing prompts uh, prompted me to finally post about my current favorite book. For most of the summer, I have been digging into the pages of Tamar Adler’s An Everlasting Meal. I thought that I would wait to post here until I had read every…
CSA Pickup Day Pasta
I’ll bet you’re thinking that this pasta is going to have tons of farm-fresh veggies in it. Nope. Actually, none. But we’ll get to that in a minute. Pickup has been a lot of fun. We are seeing a much wider variety of veggies in our CSA delivery lately. In the last few weeks, we’ve seen cabbages,…
Soup of the Week – First Summer Edition
I know what you’re thinking. Who makes soup in the summer? Aside from the rather obvious choice of gazpacho, does anyone really think soup in the summer? Apparently, I do. I wasn’t actually thinking soup when I found this one. I was thinking “what the heck am I going to do with all of this…
It’s Not Easy Having Greens – CSA Update
We picked up our fifth week of CSA veggies today – not sure how it’s possible that we’ve been doing this for over a month already! I’d be lying if I said the amount of greens and lettuce was totally manageable…the early weeks of the CSA are clearly heavy on greens and not a whole…
Pinterest Meets the CSA Box
This week’s CSA box had some lovely prizes…more red leaf lettuce (absolutely beautiful) and a big bag of mesculin salad mix, three small heads of broccoli, a bunch of Swiss chard, two bunches of kale, three kohlrabi, a small bunch of beets (disappointing – was so hoping for better in this department), garlic scapes, and…
CSA Pickup Day
Today we drive to “the farm” to pick up our weekly CSA share. It’s a real farm – there’s really no reason for the quotes other than the fact that we toss around the term as though we’re real farmers or something. We’re not. But we are definitely enjoying the bounty that comes from our…
Pinterest Pasta
We need to talk about spaghetti. Because first, everybody loves spaghetti. Am I right? And then, because look at this…
A Snack that Delivers
Ever come home in the afternoon ravenous? Dinner is still way too far away to wait but you need food like now? And you’re the kind of hungry where pretty much anything will work? Try this…
