I have been trying to add more greens to our meals. Surprisingly, they are usually something Cam will easily eat. He loves spinach and kale, so I figured I would try escarole. He didn’t care for it, but my husband and I loved it, so I decided to share it with you….

Cornmeal-Crusted Tilapia
I am breaking my ‘there has to be at least 1 local ingredient’ rule to include this dish. It is one of our favorite simple, basic entrees. Whenever we haven’t had fish in a while, and I feel the need to give Cam a real shot of protein, I know I can turn to cornmeal-crusted tilapia…
Slow Cooker Pulled Chicken Sandwiches with Crunchy Apple Slaw
I had planned to make this for dinner, but forgot to set up the crock pot before I left the house for the afternoon. By the time I realized it, it was too late to make it for dinner that night. So, I put it up to cook when I got home and set it…
Pumpkin Spiced Chocolate Chip Cookies
More cookies…good cookies…pumpkin cookies! I decided to make three versions of this cookie – plain chocolate chip, pecan and walnut. All three were a hit! My 5 year old downed the plain chocolate chip, one daughter the pecan, her friend the walnut, and another daughter loved them all. I send care packages back to…
Cumin-Lime Cole Slaw
Central Delaware is the home to some very tasty cabbage. There are a few weeks a year when it is not to much fun to ride your bike past the fields of cabbage, breathing in the aroma; but once the crop is harvested, the cabbage can be enjoyed through the winter. Cole slaw was one of…
Sticky Date-Nut Bread
I have a love affair with dates. My favorites, of course, are the ones I get in the Middle East, but there are some really good dates to be had that are grown in California. I tasted some fantastic dates at the farmers market when I was in Sonoma County this summer. Now there is…
Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Maple Thyme Glaze
Time to finally finish off my garden sweet potatoes. A sad but satisfying feeling. I used any potato that even hinted at being big enough and we still only had enough for a half recipe.These almost didn’t make it to the dinner table. Roasted sweet potatoes are one of my favorite side dishes, the maple…
Tah Chin (Persian Rice with Chicken, Saffron & Yogurt) – revisited
I have refined my Tah Chin over the years, now using a Persian rice cooker. The recipe below is still the one I base off of, but always am fiddling at the edges. The moment before unfolding is still always stressful… But now this is what I unmold… I have found that a key step…
Kale-Turkey Bacon Herb Bread
Quick breads are a big thing in our house, a favorite breakfast food. Zucchini bread is, of course, the favorite, but there is peach bread, pumpkin bread, blackberry bread, and others. Recently, I added the fig graham bread and sweet potato pecan bread, and will be trying out a bunch of new breads over the upcoming…
Dragon Bowl with Sweet Potato, Kale, Chickpeas, Avocado & Egg
Sweet potatoes from my garden, yes there are still a few… I love anything topped with egg, especially roasted vegetables. Combine that with my new discovery of rice bowls, and you have a beautiful, colorful satisfying base for the egg.There are also spiced chickpeas to add flavor and texture. The recipe calls for sprinkling them on top,…
