Tomato Tartines with Truffle Salt
I have been on an open-face sandwich kick lately. Simple lunches really are a pleasure, aren’t they? And now, at the beginning of tomato season, what could be a better way to enjoy that pungent, bursting flavor than fresh on a slice of warm, toasty bread?
Green Bean Fries with Wasabi Mayo
I have to tell you a shameful secret. My son won’t eat vegetables. I’m sure all you more experienced mothers out there are nodding in agreement (or else laughing at me). I always swore that I would never have one of those kids who wouldn’t eat veggies, but honestly…who was I kidding? What planet was […]
So I have dreams of hosting Thanksgiving dinner at my house. I love the idea of making the big meal, setting a long table, and decorating the house with festive and funky Fall items. Except there are a few problems with this (excluding the biggest problem, which is naturally finding the space for my huge […]
After 20 weeks of fresh, seasonal produce, CSA has come to a close for the year. As I reflected on the experience—what I ate, what I didn’t, what I learned, and what I wished I had known—I thought it might be worthwhile to share my overall impressions of being a CSA member with you. So […]
Okay, this post is totally late in coming. But I was a little bit preoccupied. (And yes, it did take me almost a week to recover from throwing the best baby birthday party ever.) Anyway, from the last week of CSA produce ever (er…at least for this year), I am sharing with you the most […]
Folks…this recipe and I did not play nicely together. Truly, it wasn’t the recipe’s fault! (And don’t stop reading, because this bread pudding is extremely delicious, I promise, and I will eventually tell you about it!) I think I may have lost my mojo or something. For weeks now, almost everything I lay my hands […]
Kale is beautiful. I bought some kale a few weeks ago at the farmer’s market so I could make a kale salad. I was so excited! Sarah came over and she got excited, too! But the recipe I had was a little weirdly written…and to make a long story short, there was too much dressing. […]
I have a lot of squash in my house. Like. A lot. And one of the easiest ever ways to use up fall squash is to roast it and toss it into a grain salad with some greens and cheese. I have been a little reluctant to share this with you, because I feel like […]
CSA Week 17: Winging It
Sometimes I look in my fridge and think, “Why is there nothing to eat!?” As I am staring at the shelves piled high with perfectly good food, nothing seems like it would come together quickly, and none of my produce and dairy products and leftovers seem even remotely able to work together. Does that ever […]
CSA Week 17: Miso-Curry Delicata Squash
We have been getting a lot of fall squashes from the CSA! At least two per week, usually weighing in over 1 lb. apiece. Good thing I love fall squash! It’s also been fun to get to know some of the different varieties. Normally, I am a butternut-acorn-pumpkin girl, but now I am learning about […]
