My new food discovery this year was bibimbap – a Korean rice, vegetable and egg dish (it can also contain meat). All it took was trying it once and it has become my go-to dish at Korean restaurants. And yes, sometimes I even have cravings for it. So here is my attempt at bibimbap based…

Ligurian Kale Pie
More kale from the garden! And some swiss chard from Highland Orchards. Just right for this recipe I saw on the NY Times cooking site – Ligurian Kale Pie – a free-form pie with an olive oil crust. This is a very simple looking food, but don’t be deceived, the taste was fabulous! It was light…
Calzone with Tomato, Kale and Cheese Filling
This is a great time of year; veggies in the garden are coming in, typically one at a time. This week it is the red russian kale. I have plans for some fun, different dinners. Tonight it was calzones. The filling on this was great, we had to force ourselves to stop eating it before…
Kale and Leek Quiche
I love quiche. I especially love healthy quiche. I super especially love healthy quiche made with veggies from my garden and Farmer Kim’s eggs! OK, I’ll admit it, I used a prepared pie shell for this one. It was a busy day and I was in a rush to do all the other preparations to…
Spaghetti with Kale and Garlic Chips
My early harvest items dictated our dinner tonight. I harvested the heirloom kale (which looks more like chard, but tastes like kale, but you can use the stems like chard). Because of the similarities to chard, I decided to use it in a dish I normally make using chard – Spaghetti with Swiss Chard and…
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,…
Pasta with Kale and Garden Frustration
Ah, I wish I wasn’t writing this post. Note: if you don’t want to read it, skip to the last paragraph for the link to a great recipe. I am writing while sitting in my bed after 3 days and nights of illness. I am still not allowed or eat with, little less cook for, my family….
Kale, Spinach & White Bean Soup with Fontina
As you read this, I am in Alta, Norway, above the Arctic Circle. I am hoping to enjoy some interesting food experiences to share, and maybe some new ideas to try. I will be back with more new posts at the end of the month. For now I will leave you with my riff on another…
Baby Spinach & Kale Omelet
Breakfast for dinner or breakfast for breakfast. Omelets work for both. So simple, yet so tasty, omelets are often my fallback to use whatever I have around. This time it was spinach and kale, local eggs, aged cheddar and pepper jack cheese. My husband opted for the cheddar, and me, the kick of the pepper…
Kale-Turkey Bacon Herb Bread
Quick breads are a big thing in our house, a favorite breakfast food. Zucchini bread is, of course, the favorite, but there is peach bread, pumpkin bread, blackberry bread, and others. Recently, I added the fig graham bread and sweet potato pecan bread, and will be trying out a bunch of new breads over the upcoming…
