Spinach Salad with Dates and Almonds
Time to try another recipe from Yotam Ottalenghi’s Jerusalem. I thinned the spinach in my garden so I ended up with some nice baby spinach leaves. When I combined them with spinach Arielle picked at Farmer Kim’s I had enough for a good salad! There are many stars in this salad, but I have to…
Mediterranean Asparagus and Artichoke Pasta
I have a bad habit of pouring through my friends’ cookbooks during the down-times of our visits. I just can’t help myself, I see new cookbooks and I have to read them. I used to grab sheets of paper and copy down interesting recipes; now I just pull out the iPhone and click. Sometimes I…
Pesto Grilled Cheese Sandwich
The garden is almost set for the summer. I added the eggplants and the rest of the tomatoes. All that is left to plant are the sweet potatoes and butternut squash. Just hoping we do not get a freak frost tonight. Garden Update The greens have loved the cool weather, they are growing nicely. In…
Pasta with Asparagus, Peas and Pesto
Cam and I were home alone for a few days. Cooking for just the two of us is always a challenge, especially since he is now in a grilled-cheese-for-every-meal phase. At least he wants to make them with me (he is finally wanting to cook again!) One of the few other foods I can still…
Fried Sage Omelet

Khorest Gol Kalam (Cauliflower Stew) and 10K
I wasn’t sure how my leg would handle the 10K; my calf seemed healed,but my hamstring was very tight since my 1 mile test run on Thursday. And, it was going to be a trail run with real hills, some steep. So,my goal was to make it through, and I was going to apply the…
Asparagus, Mushroom and Tomato Stir Fry
When Arielle and I arrived at my friend Kelly’s house, we had in hand some asparagus Arielle had cut at Farmer Kim’s farm earlier in the day. It was going to be the star of dinner after our Saturday hike. I won’t go into detail about the hike other than that we did a lot…
Happy Earth Day, Pulled Tendon and Spinach Seedling Pasta Sauce
Happy Earth Day! To celebrate Earth Weekend, Arielle and I spent the weekend with my friend Kelly in Harrisburg, PA. It was to be a weekend of hiking and enjoying nature. My leg started hurting after our Saturday hike, so yesterday we decided to go for an easy walk at the Shenks Ferry Wildflower Preserve…
Lentil, Orzo & Broccoli Bake
I have been fiddling around in my garden the past few days, nurturing my little sprouts and young plants, weeding, and dreaming about being able to cook again with my fresh bounty. Chard, broccoli, spinach, carrots, garlic, peas…all are growing more each day. So when I saw this recipe on moveeatcreate.wordpress.com I envisioned my baby vegetables…
