Another goodie from Highland Orchards – beautiful green beans. This is another recipe that was a hit with 6 year-old Cam – roasted green beans with a hint of lemon and topped with some Parmigiano reggiano. I think he is finally rediscovering his palate. The beans were a very nice side dish with my cornmeal-crusted…

Sourdough Crackers
I decided I had to share these with you since they got really high marks from Cam, my very hard to please 6 year old, with discerning tastes. The cool thing for me about these is they are made with the cup of sourdough starter I would normally discard each week when I feed it….
Broccoli Rabe Pesto and Pasta
On my visit to Highland Orchards I picked up a bunch of their broccoli rabe. I had a Mario Batali recipe for broccoli rabe pesto that I had been wanting to play with, so this seemed like a good opportunity to do that. The color of the finished pesto had to make me smile –…
Chicken and Rice with Almonds & Craisins
Fresh chicken from Highland Orchards served as the protein for my Persian-inspired pilaf for Tu B’Shevat. To really make it Persian I would have used barberries instead of cranberries, but I did not think of that until too late to soak them. If you don’t have advieh, you can use allspice and cinnamon unequal parts. It…
Roasted Butternut Squash, Jerusalem Artichoke and Kale…with Eggs (of course!)
A “from my garden” post in the middle of winter!!! Tonight’s dinner was a combination of my newly harvested Jerusalem artichokes and the last of my butternut squash with Farmer Kim’s eggs. I harvested an amazing crop of Jerusalem artichokes Big, beautiful tubers that you will be seeing much of over the next few weeks. One…
Parsnip Frittata
Frittatas are a great way to use the bits and pieces of vegetables left over from making other dishes. I had parsnips sitting in my fridge, perfect to pair with Farmer Kim’s eggs in Mario Batali’s frittata recipe for la light, healthy dinner. These parsnips did not come from my garden. My parsnips did not…
Challah Project #16 – Rye Challah
I will be honest, I did not expect much from this challah. I figured it would be ok, perhaps interesting, but I never expected it to be a wonderful challah with a great chewy yet light texture. Nor that it would be an equally good rye bread! Look at that texture! It was really good…
Red Lentil and Swiss Chard Soup
I am in a soup mood. It has been a few years since I have been in a soup mood. What does it mean to be in a soup mood? Soups, and lots of them. My family must brace for many dinners of soups and stews. First up for the blog… Yotam Ottolenghi’s Red Lentil and…
Breaded Cauliflower with Sriracha Dipping Sauce
We had just a little bit more of the local cauliflower left, just enough for a taste treat. So I decided to try another version of roasted cauliflower, this time breaded. And as a treat, a spicy dipping sauce to go with it. It was a fun change from my typical roasted cauliflower; and fun…
Roasted Vegetable Tart and Quiche
Two versions tonight – why? I roasted a lot of vegetables and my pastry crust was not big enough, so I also pulled out a pre-made pie crust and made a quiche. Each was worth making individually, so I have included both. Some in the family preferred the quiche… Others the tart… Roasted Vegetable Filling…
