Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp for Breakfast

It is always a good day when I get to stop at Filaskys Produce in Middletown, DE.  At first I was nervous because they only had a sign up for asparagus; but then I saw them, the beautiful Filasky strawberries!  After a conversation catching up with Cindy Filasky, I walked out with their strawberries, rhubarb…

Potato, Leek & Swiss Chard Hash with Eggs

Cooking from the garden has begun again!  I got home from work and went out to the garden to pick some food for dinner.  Look at my beautiful swiss chard bouquet… It made a really pretty bunch of sliced chard. Unfortunately, I am not feeling very well, I am recovering from a spring cold that had…

Big Reds – Strawberry Muffins

While I was away from home for the strawberry harvest last year, my oldest, Arielle, was home, tending the garden.  As usual, we had a bumper crop of strawberries.  As one person with a lot of strawberries, she tried various uses for them.  She dried them, she made strawberry bread, and she decided to make…

Cinnamon Toast Pancakes

My boys helped me prepare the garden for the second round of planting. When I returned from my trip, I was happy to see that my plants and seedlings had mostly survived the frost.  The garden is now ready for the main season plantings of tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, peppers and the rest.   I made…

Asparagus – Leek Frittata

Spring is finally here, and that means Delaware asparagus!! This asparagus comes from my favorite all natural farmer in North Wilmington.  Their family farm is now 10 acres surrounded by suburbia in North Wilmington.  I mean it, they are surrounded on 3 sides by a neighborhood and across the street from the high school.  I…

Maple Oatmeal Scones

The soil in my garden was finally just dry enough to be tilled, so my wonderful husband tilled in order for me to start a new strawberry patch and plant my early spring seeds – parsnips, leeks, carrots, spinach, kale and sweet peas.  I will make a run to the garden center tomorrow for some…

Brown Sugar Pancakes

    Another snow day here in Dover, no school, no work…so the top chef returned to the kitchen to make the Brown Sugar Pancakes from The Batali Brothers Cookbook.  These were delicious!! But even better was seeing Cam back in the kitchen.  Although he still shies away from the stove, he really enjoys doing all…

Breakfast Burritos

Ok…yum!  Breakfast for dinner again. I have to admit that I do not like big, heavy breakfasts…ever.  But I love breakfast foods, especially for dinner.  So when I saw a breakfast burrito by Ellie Krieger, I knew it would be light but satisfying, so I adapted it for my family’s preferences. I love bell peppers,…

Nutella Banana White Chocolate Granola

It has been a while since I last posted a granola recipe.  To be honest, it has been a while since I have made granola.  I guess it is something I tend to do more in the winter. This one was worth the wait, I had to pour myself a bowl as soon as it…

Apple Bread

It is apple time again! One of my official shifts to fall is the change from zucchini bread to apple and pumpkin baked goods. The first treat of this year is Apple Bread.  This recipe is from Mollie Katzen’s The New Enchanted Broccoli Forest cookbook. I love this recipe, the bread is moist and not…
