Farmer Kim eggs are back! Receiving the “do you want eggs” text made my day! To celebrate, a dinner that is topped with beautiful fried fresh eggs! I have come to really like wheat berries, their taste, their bite. They are a nice alternative to rice or pasta. The other alternative vegetable we used tonight…

Baked Farro and Butternut Squash
I picked up a beautiful butternut squash at Highland Orchards, big enough for 2 meals. For the first, I made Ina Garten’s Baked Farro & Butternut Squash. Of course, I was out of farro, so it was really red wheat berries and butternut squash, but that didn’t matter, it was delicious! The taste, the texture,…
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,…
Microwave Potato Chips
While Cam and I were home on our spring “staycation”, I decided to try making a treat I had recently seen – microwave potato chips. No matter how many times I heard that they tasted just like chips out of the bag, I was skeptical. And my first few batches confirmed my skepticism – they…
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…
Joan Nathan’s Almond Cake with Figs, Orange and Honey for Passover
Passover desserts have never been one of my strengths, but since I was heading to upstate New York for the holiday, I needed something easy to transport. So, a cake it would be. And I would trust the ultimate Jewish cookbook writer to guide me…Joan Nathan. There would be no wheat flour in this cake,…
Passover Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Cam has been in the mood for chocolate chip cookies, so why should he have to skip them on Passover. It was tough to find Kosher for Passover chocolate chips in Delaware, so I ordered some online. Once I had the chips, these were so simple, just 5 ingredients: almond butter, chips, brown sugar, eggs…
Homemade Horseradish
My Uncle Heshey used to bring freshly grated horseradish to our Seder each year. Of course, as a child, I dreaded the dipping of the matzoh into the horseradish. But as I grew older, I grew to appreciate he sinus clearing properties of horseradish. It “hurt so good.” This year, I was inspired to make…
Smoked Salmon Salad Sandwich on Challah
I finally accepted that I am fated to not have a dry weekend for my husband to till my garden for me. I have an irrational fear of the using roto-tiller, so I picked a dry weekday and decided to hand till (yes, using the hoe) the area I needed to get my early plants…
Spice-Roasted Jerusalem Artichokes and Cauliflower
If you have been wondering what the picture in the header of the blog is, here is the post to answer the question… Jerusalem artichokes I dug out of the garden last week. When I went out to the garden to check the plants, expecting that the crop would be a failure due to really…
