Bianco di Maggio Onions Our organic vegetable box from Two Small Farms was packed with a large head of Romaine Lettuce, so this week’s menu is going to involve quite a bit of salad. I think I am going to bring back the Taco Salad from a fe (read full article)
Summer is really in full swing, and between camp, swim meets and poolside BBQs, we are not home that much to cook. I am on the constant lookout for fun recipes to take to the pool, salads and sides that are easy to share in our weekly supper club. P (read full article)
As it turns out, with the kids off at sleepaway camp, and a couple dinners out, I am thinking that I don’t actually need a menu plan this week. Our box from Two Small Farms has a couple things that I will need to eat this week (Little Gem Lett (read full article)
Last weekend, I was honored to host a baby shower for a good friend, Dena. It was over 90F outside, but we managed to have a lovely lunch in the garden. The actual party was not a problem, but I found myself very worried about the games. Fortunately (read full article)
Last week’s Orzo with Grilled Shrimp and Summer Vegetables worked really well, just not on Wednesday as I had planned. Wednesday, I had a leftover farro salad from a baby shower (post to follow), and we brought that to the pool along with a ch (read full article)
Our first week of summer vacation and so much to do! Camps and swim team and poolside BBQs. I feel like I am already behind, and summer is supposed to be relaxing. Ack. Our box from Two Small Farms this week had a nice large bag of Bacon Avocados, m (read full article)
Healthy Salads Our box from Two Small Farms is loaded with lettuce, so I think this week is going to be all about salads. Hopefully the weather will cooperate, as salads are best, IMHO, when it is too hot to cook. And, as it turns out, the folks at (read full article)
Dear husband does not like broccoli. Nor do lots of other people. It is not my favorite vegetable, but I understand its excellent veggie properties and so if it appears on my plate, I will eat it, knowing I am doing my body good. DH, however, has no (read full article)
Each week, on Monday (usually), I come up with the dinner plan for the entire week. What sounds onerous to some is actually a dream for me, as I organize myself well before the excitement of the week starts. No more last minute scrambles to figure o (read full article)
Our box this week from Two Small Farms contained Agretti, and if you remember from last year, this is one of my favorites. It is a strange vegetable, but very tasty in a salty, ocean sort of way. And again, I scored more than one bunch, so we get to (read full article)
Mother’s Day in my house is definitely bittersweet. My Mom died when I was in college and for a long time, I did not acknowledge Mother’s Day. Then I got married and had a couple kids, and now Mother’s Day is again the celebration i (read full article)
This weekend, we celebrated a birthday and an anniversary, so there was lots of cooking to keep me busy. The best thing I made this weekend was an Orange Cheesecake with Candied Kumquats (and Blood Oranges) which used up the cute kumquats from our Fr (read full article)

St. Patrick’s Day is here on Wednesday, and I will be able to indulge my love of corned beef. I am going to follow the Crockpot Corned Beef recipe I used last year, and fingers-crossed, there will be enough leftovers for the next day. Here is t (read full article)
My trip this Sunday to the Farmer’s Market was awesome! Spring has definitely sprung and the variety was overwhelming. Every available stall was filled with a farmer, and I enjoyed just walking through and visiting with some of my favorites. He (read full article)
This weekend’s Farmer’s Market was fabulous! At my favorite greens stand, I picked up a bag of baby beet greens and a pound of purple potatoes. At another organic stall, I found some fresh asparagus. And just next to that, baby artichokes (read full article)
More rain is scheduled for this week, and with that, I definitely feel like comfort food. Yesterday, a few of us were chatting about our favorite way to cook vegetables, and roasting was by far the preferred method. Everything from brussel sprouts to (read full article)
With all the rain, and a holiday week, I need some quick ideas for dinner. I threw this menu together this morning, while standing over the latest edition of Cooking Light, with my iPhone right next to me. Easier to make my shopping list that way! He (read full article)
