Finally, a kale salad that is definitely worth writing home about! I will be honest, I had low expectations of this, but it was great, really fun and enjoyable to eat. I think there were 2 key points, how well massaged the kale was and the crunch of the tortilla chips. The big surprise was…

Chef Ceaser’s Beef with Broccoli
We eat very little red meat in our house, but when we do it involves a visit to the local butcher shop for some locally raised beef. I was also able to get some local broccoli beautiful big, tightly packed heads. Chef Ceaser of chefceaser.wordpress.com often reblogs my posts, so I was really looking forward to trying one of his…
Potato Latkes with Pepper Jack Cheese
I thought I was done with innovative ways to make yummy potato latkes last year when I did the golden latkes with turmeric. But then I saw a little blurb in Food Network Magazine’s 50 cheese appetizers for pepper jack latkes. Ooh, that was intriguing. These vie with the spinach, potato and feta latkes for my…
Bang Bang Turkey
Day 2 of Thanksgiving Leftovers. Time for another light antidote to the Thanksgiving feast…a turkey salad…with an asian twist – Nigella Lawson’s Bang Bang Turkey. It was great! Light, fresh, and full of flavor! Definitely will become a regular part of our post-Thanksgiving meals from now on! Bang Bang Turkey Very slightly adapted from Nigella…
Cauliflower, Tomato & Feta Frittata
Frittatas are a favorite food in our house. Second only to vegetable hashes topped with eggs.I mean, really, what’s not to love? Eggs, vegetables and, typically, cheese. So good, we tend to dive in before I can take a decent picture… I had bought a locally grown cauliflower. These are so big that the quart…
Butternut Squash Chili with Corn
Time again to use one of the butternut squash from my garden (somehow the crate of squash does not seem to be getting smaller). I peeled it and cut it up to use in a healthy chili. I love chili, all types of chili. Red chilis, white chilis, black bean chilis, leftover turkey chili, Cincinnati chili. Chili…
Pomegranate Molasses Turkey
Last year, once again, we had a turkey that was raised and slaughtered within 10 miles of our house. It doesn’t get much fresher than arranging the day you will pick up the turkey and having it freshly slaughtered that morning. Instead of brining, I like Ina Garten’s approach of salting the bird and…
Pasta with Cauliflower & Sun-dried Tomatoes
Look at this cauliflower, it is beautiful! And it is huge, the size of two typical cauliflowers. This picture was taken after I had already broken off a bunch of florets to munch on. And, of course, it was locally grown and purchased at one of my favorite road-side stands. How to do such a…
Eggplant and Butternut Squash Tagine with Chickpeas and Raisins
We attended the Delaware Wine and Beer Festival last week and, aside from some new beverages, we discovered a new farm – Suzuki Farms in Delmar, Delaware. They specialize in Japanese vegetables. We picked up some eggplants and some delicious salad dressing that his wife made. I used a could of the eggplants with a…
Chard and Sweet Corn Tacos
We had our first frost last night. So the two ears of Filasky’s corn that were in my fridge were probably my last local corn of the year. I paired them with some swiss chard from my garden in Martha Rose Shulman’s tacos. It is a sad time of year in my garden; things are…
