This is my last sweet potato post from my garden this season. That makes me sad, but pleased that I have had enough to get me this far. For a while we had access to locally-grown, grass-fed beef. During that period, I used to make a lot of beef stews. One that I grew particularly…

Rotisserie-style Chicken in a Slow Cooker
Who doesn’t like those yummy rotisserie chickens you can buy at the store? (If you eat meat, that is) But, they are loaded with salt and fat, so they are not the healthiest option. But then again, they are so, so good. When I saw the recipe for rotisserie-style chicken in Stephanie O’Dea’s “Make It…
Sweet Potato Ravioli with Brown Butter Sauce
This recipe is an adaptation of another fabulous recipe from Diane Morgan’s Roots cookbook; what an amazingly wonderful surprise this book has been! The sweet potato ravioli is a bit of a “cheat”, you use wonton wrappers instead of making fresh pasta dough for the ravioli. It worked os well, I will no longer hesitate to try…
Food Challenge – Jerusalem Artichokes, Broccoli & Roasted Tomato Linguine
Here is the second dish from Farmer Kim’s food challenge – Jerusalem Artichokes, Broccoli & Roasted Tomato Linguine. Jerusalem artichokes are really good roasted, but I wanted to try pan searing them. I thought that just Jerusalem artichokes and pasta would be boring. So, I went out to the garden where there were some late…
Food Challenge – Jerusalem Artichokes Pan-Roasted with Winter Squash
Farmer Kim brought me my latest food challenge from his farm – Jerusalem Artichokes. He sent about 5 pounds home with Arielle. So we will be eating a few Jerusalem artichoke dishes over the next couple of weeks. The first time I had Jerusalem artichokes was last year when Farmer Kim sent some over for…
Corn and Poblano Lasagna
In the freezer now is tomato sauce, corn, pesto, tomatoes, turkey stock and various fruits I froze in the summer. It is time to defrost some frozen corn for this dish by Marcela Valladolid. Simply put, it is amazing. It was funny, no one was really excited about this before I made it, but once…
Ricotta & Pesto Souffle
Remember all that pesto I made and froze? I sent a bag of pesto “cubes” with Emily to keep in her freezer in her apartment. But there is still a lot of pesto in my freezer. So, it is time to thaw some! This dinner highlighted my pesto and Farmer Kim’s eggs in Molly Katzen’s…
Ali’s Turkey Meatloaf – in the Slow Cooker
I have to admit that I love my husband’s turkey meatloaf (ok, he was making it with beef before I came along, but now it is turkey). It is simple and delicious. ONe of the favorites of all our girls. So I thought, what if I made his meatloaf, but cooked it in my crock…
Fettuccine with Smoked Salmon Sauce
The closest Whole Foods to my house is over an hour and 20 minutes away, so I, unfortunately, do not get to shop there regularly. But there is one in Marlton, NJ on my way home from visiting my mother that I consider “my” Whole Foods store even though it is an hour and a…
Chicken Fesenjoon in the Slow Cooker
Pomegranate + walnut + chicken + rice = happy husband. Fesenjoon is one of those dishes that takes forever to make. But it is perfectly suited for making in the slow cooker, which is exactly what I did on Christmas day. We wanted to go out during the day, but I had planned on making…
