I really enjoy having a farmers market just 4 blocks from my office at the University of Pennsylvania. The PA growing season is a little behind mine in Delaware, so I get to extend the seasons for my favorite fruits and veggies. I recently picked up some asparagus, bok choy, sugar snap peas and strawberries….

Roasted Cauliflower Frittata
As I have been saying, I am tickled with the cauliflower in my garden. So far I have used the cauliflower in Spanish Cauliflower-Chickpea Salad and in a vegetable tempura that really good, but I did not get enough photos of to be able to build a post on it. Tonight was a frittata I developed last…
Spinach Salad with Sweet Roasted Pecans and Gorgonzola
The spinach in my garden is finally getting big and full enough to harvest. When I went out to the garden I picked enough for a nice lunch salad. It had been a long time since I ate gorgonzola, I had forgotten how much more I like it than blue cheese; to me it has…
Big Sur Hide Bread (Rolls)
What to do with the millet in my pantry? I have been waiting for the perfect bread recipe to use it in. If you have not had it before, millet adds a great texture to breads. I have a millet bread that I used to make in college, but it is a yeast bread and I…
Macerated Strawberries
I didn’t think you could make strawberries taste any better than they do fresh out of the garden. But I was intrigued by the recipe for macerated strawberries in The Batali Brothers Cookbook by Benno and Leo Batali (Mario’s sons). It was so simple, I just had to try it. Again I used a mix of my…
Spanish Cauliflower-Chickpea Salad
Cauliflower is ready to be harvested! All 4 of my plants are producing. This is the first time that has happened. Typically I only get heads on 2 of the 4, so I am very happy. This post is about what I did with the first two heads… My two favorite ways to prepare cauliflower…
Cammy’s Hide and Seek Muffins
Our “top chef” agreed to come back to the kitchen to make the Hide and Seek Muffins from Mollie Katzen’s Pretend Soup cookbook. My strawberry plants are still young, so they are producing sweet berries, just not that many. So, we used a mix of strawberries from our garden and other local strawberries. Cracking eggs may be…
Baked Beans with Swiss Chard
Today was the day to thin the carrots, leeks and parsnips. It was the day to pick the first strawberries and watch my son devour them. It was the day to pick some cauliflower and swiss chard. …Today was a good day to cook from the garden. Baked beans with swiss chard and smoked turkey….
Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp for Breakfast
It is always a good day when I get to stop at Filaskys Produce in Middletown, DE. At first I was nervous because they only had a sign up for asparagus; but then I saw them, the beautiful Filasky strawberries! After a conversation catching up with Cindy Filasky, I walked out with their strawberries, rhubarb…
Potato, Leek & Swiss Chard Hash with Eggs
Cooking from the garden has begun again! I got home from work and went out to the garden to pick some food for dinner. Look at my beautiful swiss chard bouquet… It made a really pretty bunch of sliced chard. Unfortunately, I am not feeling very well, I am recovering from a spring cold that had…
