There was a freeze this spring that hurt central Delaware’s peach harvest. But seemingly not so to the north and south of us. I was able to pick up some great peaches from Milburn Orchards in Elkton, MD. Some went into a salad at lunch time, some will be eaten ripe and juicy, but these…

Collard Green and Potato Hash with Poached Eggs
Collard greens are really good for you. They have both a cholesterol-lowering ability and cancer preventive properties. And they are growing beautifully in my garden this year. It has gotten hot over the past couple of weeks, so I think their season may soon be drawing to a close until the fall. So for their farewell…
Fettuccini with Corn and Tomatoes
I have two farmers that I buy sweet corn from, Freeman’s in Lewes and Filasky’s in Middletown. They are each heads and shoulders above any other corn I have ever had. Which I buy simply depends on whether I am in the southern or northern end of the state the day I am buying corn….
Corn, Edamame & Tomatoes with Pasta and Basil Oil
If it was a little later in the season, all the vegetables except the corn would be from my garden. But I couldn’t wait that long, so the corn is from Preston, Maryland, the tomatoes from Highland Orchards, the edamame is frozen, but the scallions and basil ARE from my garden. This is such a…
Quinoa and Rice Bowl with Kale, Kimchi and Egg
The kale is going absolutely nuts in my garden! It is big, beautiful, and plentiful! The Russian kale is particularly healthy. I had thought the groundhog had killed most of the plants, so I planted more. Guess what, they are all producing now! We discovered rice bowls last year, and I especially like Korean rice…
Orecchiette with Tomato Sauce with Kale and Mushrooms
Groundhogs don’t seem to like curly kale. Or at least my groundhog doesn’t. When it ate every other green in my garden, it left the curly kale. We not have the electric fence protecting the other greens, but the kale has been growing all along. I had some mushrooms in the fridge (a local food here…
Collard Green and White Bean Khoresh
What do you get when you take a tagine and give it a persian twist? A khoresh that is both healthy and…extremely flavorful!! Collard greens are something I never tasted until I grew them in my garden a few years ago. I guess that is because they are often prepared with ham or bacon, foods…
Caramelized Onion Tart
What’s there not to like about caramelized onions? And really, what’s not to like about baking them into a tart, especially with Farmer Kim’s fresh eggs? We had larger pieces of tart for dinner last night and I had a small piece for breakfast this morning. It was a savory, tasty treat for both meals. My…
Pasta with Escarole
It has been an awful spring for my garden, so cold and rainy. Only a few things are doing well, among them is the escarole. I have a nice row of heads growing. They are small but they are healthy. I have a few very different recipes I want to try with the escarole –…
Spinach & Potato Frittata
I am finally harvesting some spinach from the garden!! Spring must actually be here (even if the sun hasn’t made an appearance yet). It has been a frustrating spring. First, the groundhog came back and ate all the greens I planted (except spinach, he doesn’t like spinach). Then I put up a solar powered electric…
