One last Jerusalem artichoke recipe until next winter’s harvest. It always amazes me how well these root vegetables last when they are cleaned and stored in a refrigerator. I have roasted the Jerusalem artichokes several ways, but the approach here was a new one that I am very pleased with. Before roasting, the Jerusalem artichokes…

Orecchiette with Tomato Sauce with Kale and Mushrooms
Groundhogs don’t seem to like curly kale. Or at least my groundhog doesn’t. When it ate every other green in my garden, it left the curly kale. We not have the electric fence protecting the other greens, but the kale has been growing all along. I had some mushrooms in the fridge (a local food here…
Collard Green and White Bean Khoresh
What do you get when you take a tagine and give it a persian twist? A khoresh that is both healthy and…extremely flavorful!! Collard greens are something I never tasted until I grew them in my garden a few years ago. I guess that is because they are often prepared with ham or bacon, foods…
Caramelized Onion Tart
What’s there not to like about caramelized onions? And really, what’s not to like about baking them into a tart, especially with Farmer Kim’s fresh eggs? We had larger pieces of tart for dinner last night and I had a small piece for breakfast this morning. It was a savory, tasty treat for both meals. My…
Pasta with Escarole
It has been an awful spring for my garden, so cold and rainy. Only a few things are doing well, among them is the escarole. I have a nice row of heads growing. They are small but they are healthy. I have a few very different recipes I want to try with the escarole –…
Braided Lemon Bread
I had not intended to write a post about making this bread. But once I made the filling, I realized how good this was going to be. So there are only a few pictures…but much enjoyment! With lemon cream cheese and lemon curd fillings, this is basically a cross between a bread and a danish. Perfect…
Challah Project Sumary
It has now been over a year since the start of my Challah Project. I have made challah nearly every week (of course not all were posted) and have learned better how to “read” my dough. I have learned that I like a fairly sticky dough before letting it go through it’s first rise. I…
Spinach & Potato Frittata
I am finally harvesting some spinach from the garden!! Spring must actually be here (even if the sun hasn’t made an appearance yet). It has been a frustrating spring. First, the groundhog came back and ate all the greens I planted (except spinach, he doesn’t like spinach). Then I put up a solar powered electric…
Mediterranean Style Quiche
While I wait for my garden to start producing this year I still have sun-dried tomatoes from my garden and eggs from Farmer Kim. These tomatoes were in my fridge, so the oil has solidified a bit. That is fine, it will melt and be quite useful when the tomatoes are cooked. Perhaps a more…
Challah Project #20 – Caramelized Onion Challah
I was really looking forward to making this challah. One of my strongest memories of my family’s trips to Florida were meals at Pumperniks and Wolfie’s and their amazing bread baskets. I had 2 favorites – the mini challah braids and the onion challah rolls. So, when making this challah, I couldn’t resist making it as…
