My husband and I really enjoy fresh asparagus, so asparagus season (aka early Spring) is very much enjoyed in our house. But I fear that I will be traveling for a good part of this asparagus season, so I am rushing to fit in as many asparagus dishes as I can before I leave. We were…

Roasted Chicken with Jerusalem Artichokes and Lemon
Spring has sprung here in Dover! We even have enough daffodils blooming that I can start having fresh flowers in the house again. I went out to Farmer Kim to pick up some freshly dug Jerusalem artichokes. Getting fresh veggies again is making me so happy! I have been waiting all winter for the Jerusalem…
Cabbage Steaks
A secret – I love cabbage. I have loved cabbage since I was a little girl. My father used to make coleslaw (which I was not interested in); I would hover while he shredded the cabbage, waiting for him to offer me a chunk to munch on. It was sweet and crisp and wonderful. But…
Rose’s Pickled Red Peppers
I always liked my mother’s friend Rose. They were friends in Kindergarten (in 1932), then ended up reconnecting when, as young mothers in the late 1940’s, their apartments were right by each other. They remained friends ever since. It was always a treat for me when Rose and her husband, Jack, would come to visit….
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…
Date-Walnut-Nut Butter Energy Fudge
When my husband, nephew and I ran the Shamrock half marathon on Sunday, I wanted to have a batch of Almond Date Energy Nuggets for us. But I did not have any almond butter in the house. What I did have was extra Date-Walnut Filling from the hamentaschen and some NuttZo seven nut & seed butter…
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…
Salmon “Hamentaschen”
Happy Purim! I saw the recipe for these savory hamentaschen and I could not resist trying them! Honestly, I was not expecting much, it was ust the novelty that I was going for, but to my great surprise, they were really, really good! The only change I made was to make the cucumber-dill sauce as…
Green Fried Rice (Snap Peas, Peas, Spinach, Sprouts & Scallions)
I stopped in at Highland Orchards on my way home and picked up a wonderful basket of green: snap peas, peas, spinach and sprouts. The first new fresh greens of the year! I was so excited! The rest of the drive home was spent figuring out what I was making for dinner with my find. Pasta?…
