In Simply Me, I will share my experiences as I cook through all the recipes in Simply in Season. Through this process I hope to discover simple ways of preparing local, healthy foods and learn more about nutrition, sustainability, and how our eating choices impact the world.
Simply in Season suggests that this would be a great camping dish – and I agree! It would be fun for kids, too, to see the “dumplings” magically bake. FOR PRINTABLE VERSION CLICK HERE: Berry Grunt 3 cups berries (I used blueberrie (read full article)
I promise this is the last of the zucchini desserts for awhile. Simply in Season offers two versions of this cookie – one with chocolate chips, the other raisin. I picked the chocolate. FOR PRINTABLE VERSION CLICK HERE: Zucchini Cookies Sourc (read full article)
I’ll bet you can guess the secret ingredient! In the summer, it’s zucchini. In the winter, it can be beets. Because if you add vegetables, it cancels out all the calories, right? FOR PRINTABLE VERSION CLICK HERE: Secret Chocolate Cake 2 (read full article)
It’s that time of year when zucchini gets put into everything. Simply in Season does not disappoint in that department. Speaking of which, I think I’ll still be able to make my end of August deadline. There will be a few marathon cooking (read full article)
I cheaped out and used regular walnuts instead of black walnuts for this recipe from Simply in Season. But I did get a chance to actually use my Cooks Illustrated online subscription because it didn’t include a recipe for the frosting. It turn (read full article)
Simply in Season calls this “fruit by the yard.” I call it just plain good. FOR PRINTABLE VERSION CLICK HERE: Fruit Platz 1 cup flour 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour 1 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp salt 1/2 cup butter (I substituted (read full article)
For the record, I know that ground cherries are NOT the same as regular cherries. Ground cherries are similar to tomatillos and need to be husked. However, I did not have ground cherries, nor have I seen them at the farmer’s market, so I decid (read full article)

When I saw this recipe in Simply in Season I thought “yay, I have a mulberry tree!” Unfortunately the dogs love to eat the mulberries off the ground, and the birds eat the ones on the tree. So between them I don’t have many mulbe (read full article)

Strawberry season is much too short. There was only one vendor that had strawberries left at the farmer’s market today. I got enough for the pie and possibly ice cream, but might just eat them and make blueberry ice cream instead. That’ (read full article)
Yes, I’ll be on a strawberry kick for awhile. Simply in Season has a few strawberry recipes left, so I’ll be making regular stops at the neighborhood strawberry stand for sure. Michigan strawberries have so much flavor compared to the (read full article)
I’m not sure why, but a couple of the cakes in Simply in Season don’t have recipes for frosting. Does that mean they don’t have frosting? What is a cake without frosting? Since I had apricots and prunes left over from making the Po (read full article)
This took about a quart of strawberries, so between this and the strawberry salad, plus several that I used for quality control (you MUST taste your produce to make sure it’s good, after all) I used up the two quarts from the Farmer’s Ma (read full article)
So, I had this rhubarb leftover from my cousin’s yard. I had made all the recipes calling for rhubarb from Simply in Season . What to do? While flipping through said cookbook, I came across the recipe for Shortcake or Scones. Hmmm. I had heard (read full article)
What’s sorrel, you might be wondering? Well, I was wondering too when I saw this recipe. I vaguely remembered getting some at a CSA pickup last year, but I didn’t remember seeing it in the spring. So I was prepared to substitute strawbe (read full article)
This is the pie that I made for DH’s family. When it came out of the oven, I was like “oh crap,” because it was still quite watery. I prayed that it would set up by the time we got around to eating it. After the Apple Rice Stuffing (read full article)
When FJ first asked me to create a meal based on the raw diet, I realized there are a lot of versions of raw diets. I finally figured out that he was talking mostly about a Paleo-type diet as described here. This menu might seem summery, but sometime (read full article)
Simply in Season says this can be made with fewer apples (it calls for FIVE cups), but if you’re making APPLE cake, I say go for the whole enchilada. So yeah, you’re going to need to get out three bowls. In one, you’ll need to put (read full article)
I recently discovered a couple of sources for locally grown, frozen fruit. When I first started learning about the benefits of eating local, I thought that for sure I’d have to learn how (and remember!) to can, freeze, etc. I began last year wi (read full article)
