About a month ago I blogged about food you make just for you. But sometimes when you have a long late meeting, it’s nice to come home to a meal made with love by one of your favorite people in the world. If it’s tasty, healthy and uses a lot of leftover CSA stuff, you […]
Recently a friend and I were talking about meals we make just for ourselves. I was pretty excited about an eggplant dish I made when I was alone (no one else in my family is that into eggplant) She reminded me of this zucchini lasagna that was at my wedding shower. Her husband doesn’t like […]

Thanks for your responses to my question about beets. Jen suggested I grate them and throw them into a salad which is what I did with some feta. It was perfect. Pavani also sent in a recipe. It looks good. Maybe next time. Carottes et Betteraves Râpées – 450 grams (1 pound) carrots – 450 […]
I think I’ve mentioned before how much I love parsley. I have had a busy couple of weeks, so I needed something fast, but still satisfying. I was inspired by Ana Costa’s scape recipe from a couple of weeks ago and I threw my remaining three scapes ( free bin score!) in with all the […]
I love getting scapes. It’s such a quick season, but each year it reminds me of all the the good things to come (GARLIC!). Two of our members shared what they have done with their scapes. Ana Costa made a great pesto for her family Add to you food processor: 12 garlic swirls bunch of dill […]
Earlier in the season, we got some radishes. I’m just not that into radishes, but this year I was on a mission to use all that I got to the full potential. I used them in salads – green, tuna and rice salads. I kind of started to like them. My friend in Vermont also […]
This week check out member, Amy Plattsmier’s recipe that uses potatoes, parsnips and a food mill. Yum! When my packrat husband, Jason, and I were slogging through the process of signing up for a wedding registry 10+ years ago, I nixed many items he wanted to include, one of them being a Williams Sonoma food […]
So I made some delicious BLTs this week with the lettuce and tomatoes we got. I really enjoyed them, but now I wish I tried this Bacon, Lettuce and Plum recipe that appeared in the NY Times on Wednesday. Maybe this week . . .
Well, it’s been a gluttonous couple of weeks. After vacation, I am trying to eat healthier and spend less. It’s time to stat making more meals at home. Luckily I have a full pantry and lots of good produce from the CSA every week. I was really happy about the fruit share this week. I […]
