3/2 Sweet Potato Kale Bake

Ever since I welcomed kale into my life I have admired the combination of sweet potatoes and kale. The sweet and the funky, the chewy and the soft. They are a perfectly unlikely pair that fit like a hand in a glove. I have paired the two before for a  kale stuffed sweet potato but […]

2/27 Meatless Monday Ethiopian Stew

Happy Meatless Monday. Sandy has been wanting to create a dish inspired by Ethiopian spices.  It is one of those things that gets into your head and you can’t stop thinking about it until you finally give it a go.   As I came home from work the other night, a waft of delicious aroma […]

1/14 Green Beans w/Tempeh, Shrooms & Quinoa

I would love to eat quinoa all the time because it is so good for me. I want it to be inherent or implied in the same way that water has become.  Drink it, carry it everywhere, love it. But quinoa is not there yet…in my heart or my everyday. This recipe is my step […]

10/20 Winter Squash Barley Risotto

I found this recipe while leafing through Good Housekeeping magazine. It is a two for one. You take the left-overs (if there are any) and make something equally as amazing, yet totally different with them.  The first recipe is for a low maintenance risotto. You don’t have to babysit or fuss over it because it […]

9/22 Delicata Dining Experience

Photo By: S. Duquet It was bittersweet when I spied the first Delicata Squash at our farmers market. I thought,”I really love those, why did they have to come so soon?” The debut of locally grown winter squash is a pretty good indicator that my beloved Summer has come and gone. It was such a […]

9/9 Rainy Day Stew

Photo By: S. Duquet Perhaps like many of you, when I woke up yesterday morning it was raining. Every morning for the past several mornings have begun in that way.

9/6 Eggplant Lasagna

Photo By: S. Duquet Eggplant is abundant right now in our markets. There are skinny ones and buxom ones and some right in between. Last week I wanted to use one of the eggplant we had but had no idea what to do with it. I started slicing it and just decided to wing it. […]

8/15 Happy Meatless Monday, Mediterranean Rolls

I have found that I am most successful at integrating lifestyle changes when I take it one step at a time. Sometimes easing into things helps me feel more successful and encourages me to continue trying. Many times I have been temporarily inspired by desire but then unable or unwilling to sustain my new habit. […]

6/22 Better To Have Loved

While touring one of the organic farms over the weekend we were introduced to garlic scapes. As the bulb of garlic is maturing in the ground, the plant is producing long seductive tendrils called garlic scapes, above ground. Photo By: S. Duquet The farmer snips the scapes so the plant doesn’t give its growing energy […]
