Sweet potatoes from my garden, yes there are still a few… I love anything topped with egg, especially roasted vegetables. Combine that with my new discovery of rice bowls, and you have a beautiful, colorful satisfying base for the egg.There are also spiced chickpeas to add flavor and texture. The recipe calls for sprinkling them on top,…

Orecchiette with Seared Cauliflower, Chicken and Greens
It is funny that some of my favorite dishes are created when I am trying to clean out either my refrigerator or my cabinet. This time I needed space in my refrigerator to prepare for Thanksgiving. What needed to go? half a cauliflower, half a bag of baby greens, and some chicken fingers that Cam…
Kale Quiche
When I stopped at the farmers market last week, I couldn’t resist buying some kale from Beechwood Orchards. But I had no pans for what I was going to do with it. Then I realized that I had a couple of pie shells in the freezer, regular pie shells, not deep dish. I had enough…
Minestrone
We recently added a 10 month old puppy to our family. He is a Shar pei – Lab mix and, aside from being my son’s new best friend, is my constant companion in the kitchen when I cook. He loves the end pieces of squash, carrots and tomato cores, and lays in wait for anything that…
Kale and Sweet Potato Hash with Poached Eggs
It has been a strange spring in my garden. The vegetables that usually grow well, such as sugar snap peas, were basically failures and the ones I usually struggle with, such as cauliflower and the kale below, have done well. So dishes I had been looking forward to making will have to wait until next year as I…
Gnocchi with Squash and Kale
I stopped by Highland Orchards, my favorite all-natural farm, on my way home from Philadelphia. I left with armfuls of great fruits and vegetables, including some really nice looking kale. I should have taken a picture of it raw for you. You will just have to trust me, it was nice kale. Lauren is home,…
Pasta with Roasted Winter Vegetables
Sweet potatoes, butternut squash, Brussels sprouts, kale – who says the winter is boring? I still have sweet potatoes and butternut squash from the garden (and garlic, of course). I am always surprised by how long they keep, two years ago, I had so many butternut squash, we were still eating them the following May!…
Winter Vegetable Stew
I had a winter squash plant growing in my compost pile. I think they were from the Kabocha squash, they were the right shape, but they never changed from green. Some aged and wilted before ever turning orange, so I rescued the biggest, healthiest looking one and figured I would see what would happen when…
Spaghetti Squash with Chickpeas, Sauteed Greens, Feta and Couscous
I love volunteers in my garden! In this case I mean plant volunteers, but human volunteers are always welcome! The volunteer I am referring to was a spaghetti squash. I only planted butternut squash this year, but a variety of squashes grew in both the garden and the compost pile, babies from last years crop….
Kale, Tomato and Egg Tacos
I decided to finish off the kale in my garden to make room for the lettuce growing next to it. For a quick dinner with a good hit of protein, I made egg, kale and tomato tacos. A little wet and messy, but really good! With all the greens that have been harvestable in my…
