Pumpkin & Pomegranate

I lived on a few dishes last fall, they were all fairly simple to make, healthy, and incredibly satisfying. This soup made many an appearance on my dinner table. The only change is that now instead of having fresh Grana Padano cheese melted on top, the soup gets a healthy sprinkling of vegan Parmesan. I [...]

I promised a soup extravaganza, but really one of them was much more stew than soup. Not that I cared, it was so good I think it might just be my “stew of the season”.  My neighbor (his driveway is the drop off spot for the CSA boxes) came by with “extras”, as he does [...]

Last night was Wednesday, so as usual Matt came over for dinner. He has been wanting spanakopita, but with so much fresh produce from my CSA box he will just have to wait until another night. I am still working on ideas on how to mimic the Greek spinach pie without grain so I can [...]

This was not meant to be a blog posting. It was meant to be a quick and simple  salad for me to grab and take to work. It turned out so well that I just had to share it with you all. The lettuce comes from my friend’s garden and it is amazingly tender. It [...]

I bought the most beautiful rainbow chard I have ever seen last week. My friend who is the caretaker of the gorgeous chickens who lay eggs for me also has this fabulous garden (which I may have mentioned before). He is an incredible gardener, and sells me the most amazing produce. I am SO lucky [...]

I had 3 lbs of potatoes from my CSA box. Gorgeous golden potatoes and pretty little purples. Alas…I eat not of the potato. It’s one of those starches that just does not do a body good. Don’t get me wrong, there are some nutrients in them, mostly in the skin, but overall they are just [...]

I was feeling a little overwhelmed this evening. I have a lot of produce and ingredients in my kitchen, and I was feeling a little pressed to cook them all before they went to the dark side. Luckily I had some really interesting things to combine and came up with this Latin inspired dish that [...]

I eat a lot of things that aren’t so blogworthy. Meaning they really aren’t worthy of a “recipe” and don’t quite make a good photo. Be that as it may, I eat them on a daily basis and I thought that some of you might enjoy a posting on some of these items. I apologize [...]

I needed an accompaniment to my Summer squash pie, and this was perfect! It didn’t take long to cook the chard in the pan, and in my CSA box I got both the rainbow chard and a bunch of fresh basil. I keep pine nuts in my freezer at all times (love them), and garlic [...]

My last dish with chard was so pleasing to my palate I had to try it again with some really tender rainbow chard from my friends’ garden.  I also received 2 gorgeous bulbs of fennel in my CSA box this week. I didn’t think that I liked fennel, actually I was pretty sure I hated [...]
