Potato, Onion & Cheese Scrambled Omelet
OK, I admit it, I have been in egg mode. It happens every now and then, I will not make eggs for breakfast for a while, then suddenly I will make eggs for dinner several times a week for a few weeks. I am not sure why this happens, but, I just go with it….
Baked Ziti and Garden Update
The Garden, Plan B After getting all my early seeds in last month, we had the crazy cold weather, and as of Monday, only the spinach had sprouted. So I hit Clark Seeds, just up the road, and bought some sprouted lettuce, collards, broccoli, cauliflower and celery (I love watching celery grow). I then hit…
Chiles Rellenos Egg and Cheese Bake
It is time again to showcase Farmer Kim’s eggs…and what better way to do it than with an egg and cheese bake? This recipe is adapted from a chiles rellenos quiche from Cooking Jewish by Judy Bart Kancigor. I often make this during Passover, but it is good for a light dinner or brunch at…

Mushroom Matzoh Lasagna

Thus, mushroom matzoh lasagna when she came home for the weekend. This recipe is adapted from one I found on fabulousfoods.com a few years ago. The changes I have…
Matzoh Bark – Chocolate Peppermint and Peanut Butter Banana
OK, I admit it, there is absolutely nothing local about this treat. But I realized that I promised the recipe, so here it is… This version is adapted from one by Zoe Francois. I made 1 1/2 times her recipe for caramel and doubled the number of trays. I also decided to make one tray…

Pesto Salmon Cakes
We are still working our way through all the sauces I made and froze last summer. I am always amazed at how much pesto there is in the freezer; I think it multiplies when I am not looking! So, tonight it was time to use some pesto to make really yummy salmon cakes. Of course,…
