I love Thai peanut sauce, that creamy, nutty sauce with a slight kick of heat to it. I have been trying different variations on it until I have come to the one that I think has the right balance of flavors and the right consistency. This version gets its heat from a serrano pepper from…

Basil & Garlic Scape Pesto
I think this is the third pesto recipe I have included so far. Are you getting the hint that we like pesto? It is a staple in our house, perfect for days when I come home late and don’t have time to cook. I prepare the pesto the night before and then my husband just…
Zucchini – Tomato Sauce with a Kick
We are in that in-between period when the zucchini are plentiful but the tomatoes are still green on the vine. This recipe is perfect for now as it uses zucchini and herbs from the garden and canned tomatoes. Once my tomatoes are in and I am making sauces, I typically do a version of this…
Swiss Chard Lasagna
I never get tired of my chard bouquets. I really like the orange and pink stems of this one. It was Arielle’s birthday dinner, so I wanted to do a twist on a traditional lasagna. This is lighter than the other pesto based lasagnas I have made, and I was very happy with the outcome….

Spring Pea, Asparagus & Turkey Bacon Spaghetti
Farmer Kim of Spring Morning Farm brought me fresh garden peas along with my eggs, I had picked up asparagus and local spring onions at Filasky’s Produce, and had asparagus waiting to be used, so that meant some combination of the three was in the offing. Add to this that my husband and I watched…
