Yes, it’s that time again… Kale bouquets! If you are new to my blog, let me explain… I harvest my kale in the morning when it is cool and stick the leaves in a vase or glass of water to keep the kale fresh and crisp. And, it is fun to look at in my…

Asparagus Fries
I do love asparagus season! We have been eating it almost every day. But the boy is not yet a fan, so I keep trying different ways of serving it and having him try it. I will admit that I only half-heartedly push him into eating it; if he doesn’t then there’s more for the…
Roasted Asparagus with Romesco Sauce
Local asparagus is in!!! To me, this is the real sign that spring is here. We will be obsessively eating asparagus for the next few weeks, it’s one of our traditions… “When they pick it, we will eat it” We also still have some matzoh left over, so I decided to make the romesco sauce…
Creamy Sunchoke & Asparagus Soup
After many nights of heavy Passover foods, I was craving soup. Plus, I had stopped at one of our local orchards on my drive home from a client meeting and picked up some just-picked asparagus. Asparagus and my Jerusalem artichokes…a happy combo! The soup looks rich and tastes rich, but is so light and healthy!…
Asparagus, Mushroom & Tomato Galette
With the crazy weather we are having, I am not sure how long the local asparagus will last. Right now only 1 farm has any, so I will be taking advantage if it being here and making a couple of asparagus dishes this week. I also am on a mission to use as much of…
Garden Fresh Fried Rice
I was not in the mood to fuss over dinner tonight. I didn’t even want to cook, but I had a lot of fresh veggies calling to me: broccoli and bok choy from my garden, asparagus from Filasky’s Produce, and sundry other veggies including carrots, celery, and onions. I decided on a stir fry, the next…
Penne with Asparagus, Snap Peas and Kale
My garden is planted! Still some more mulching to do, but otherwise it is done. Now the fun starts…weeding! This year we have, from bottom to top: strawberries (outside the picture), garlic, Jerusalem artichokes, parsley, bok choy, leeks, red Russian kale, carrots, spinach, cauliflower, tarragon, broccoli, okra, some weird heirloom kale, basil, edamame, jalapeño, eggplants,…
Asparagus, Tomato & Fontina Frittata
I am happy to say that it is still asparagus season in Delaware. So when I was at the farm market today, I bought about 3 lbs! Get ready for a few asparagus posts – if they turn out well, that is. I love asparagus frittatas. This on is a slight riff on Giada De…
Quick Braised Asparagus, Green Beans, Edamame and Spinach
Spring has finally arrived in Delaware! And with it, the ability to get my garden tilled and ready for the main spring planing. My husband spent the afternoon enjoying the sunshine while the tiller shook his arm so much that his fitbit thought he did 27,000 steps! While he was busy in my garden (ok,…
Cabbage Leek Latkes topped with Asparagus and Eggs
It is always fun when leftovers turn into a tasty new meal. I had planned on a Passover meatloaf for dinner, but the meat was not yet defrosted, so I checked my vegetable bin – half a cabbage and 1 leek unclaimed for any other meal. Add an egg and some matzoh meal, and I’d…
