I wasn’t sure how my leg would handle the 10K; my calf seemed healed,but my hamstring was very tight since my 1 mile test run on Thursday. And, it was going to be a trail run with real hills, some steep. So,my goal was to make it through, and I was going to apply the…

Asparagus, Mushroom and Tomato Stir Fry
When Arielle and I arrived at my friend Kelly’s house, we had in hand some asparagus Arielle had cut at Farmer Kim’s farm earlier in the day. It was going to be the star of dinner after our Saturday hike. I won’t go into detail about the hike other than that we did a lot…
Happy Earth Day, Pulled Tendon and Spinach Seedling Pasta Sauce
Happy Earth Day! To celebrate Earth Weekend, Arielle and I spent the weekend with my friend Kelly in Harrisburg, PA. It was to be a weekend of hiking and enjoying nature. My leg started hurting after our Saturday hike, so yesterday we decided to go for an easy walk at the Shenks Ferry Wildflower Preserve…
Lentil, Orzo & Broccoli Bake
I have been fiddling around in my garden the past few days, nurturing my little sprouts and young plants, weeding, and dreaming about being able to cook again with my fresh bounty. Chard, broccoli, spinach, carrots, garlic, peas…all are growing more each day. So when I saw this recipe on moveeatcreate.wordpress.com I envisioned my baby vegetables…
Fetuccine with Saffron and Asparagus
At last! Local asparagus is in! I stopped at the farm today and bought a pound to use for dinner. Picked today, cooked today…doesn’t get much better than that. I love asparagus and pasta, so I made more than we needed for our dinner so that we can take some for our lunches tomorrow (or…
Potato, Onion & Cheese Scrambled Omelet
OK, I admit it, I have been in egg mode. It happens every now and then, I will not make eggs for breakfast for a while, then suddenly I will make eggs for dinner several times a week for a few weeks. I am not sure why this happens, but, I just go with it….
Baked Ziti and Garden Update
The Garden, Plan B After getting all my early seeds in last month, we had the crazy cold weather, and as of Monday, only the spinach had sprouted. So I hit Clark Seeds, just up the road, and bought some sprouted lettuce, collards, broccoli, cauliflower and celery (I love watching celery grow). I then hit…
Chiles Rellenos Egg and Cheese Bake
It is time again to showcase Farmer Kim’s eggs…and what better way to do it than with an egg and cheese bake? This recipe is adapted from a chiles rellenos quiche from Cooking Jewish by Judy Bart Kancigor. I often make this during Passover, but it is good for a light dinner or brunch at…
Mario Batali’s Pasta Pancakes aka a Great Way to Use Leftover Pasta!
I love Mario Batali! And I love the gift he has given me with this recipe. We always have leftover pasta and some just don’t taste that great simply warmed back up. With this recipe, I can turn leftover pasta into, basically, pasta latkes! I had previously only done this with pasta that had an…
Tuna Tomato Cream Sauce with Pasta
Training Update: I ended my first week of training by running a 5K race with my daughter, Arielle. I think we were both pleasantly surprised when we each placed 6th in our age groups (out of 40+ in each)! It was a lot of fun to run the race, 5K is a fun racing distance….
