What?! A tomato recipe now?! I have to admit, this is sneaky. I am missing my garden tomatoes. And all that is available are tasteless tomatoes from the grocery store. I found this recipe (from Cooking Light, November 2012) that takes those “plastic” tomatoes and turns them into a flavor-filled transporter that takes you back…

Celeriac, Jamie Oliver Style
Sometimes, a vegetable is so ugly you think, this will either taste really good or really bad. My ugly vegetable to try was celeriac, or celery root. Both my Roots cookbook by Diane Morgan and the recipe write-up from Jamie Oliver made it sound like a something worth giving a try, who knows, perhaps it would…
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!…
Top Posts of 2013
This was my first full calendar year of blogging. It has been great fun for me both to write the posts and share the recipes, but also to track which posts get the most hits and where my readers come from. It blows my mind when I realize that people from 101 countries on 6…
Creamy Mushroom Fettuccini
In Delaware, one of our great year-round local treats are mushrooms. Kennet Square, PA is the mushroom capital of the U.S.; with it so close, we get great fresh mushrooms. Still not quite as good as when I grew my own, but I don’t know when I will get the chance to do that again….
Nutella Banana White Chocolate Granola
It has been a while since I last posted a granola recipe. To be honest, it has been a while since I have made granola. I guess it is something I tend to do more in the winter. This one was worth the wait, I had to pour myself a bowl as soon as it…
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…
Sauteed Brussels Sprouts Chiffonade
Have I told you that I love Brussels sprouts? Yes, I know, probably every time I post a Brussels sprout recipe. I can’t help it, I love these little guys. I think it started with the dollhouse aspect; they are the just the right size to be cabbages for Barbie dolls. Growing them, however, continues…
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….
Persian Macaroni (Spaghetti with Meat Sauce)
On my first trip to Iran, my sister-in-law took a break from traditional Persian food and made macaroni for dinner one night. It was a cross between the very americanized spaghetti my mother made and persian flavorings. It was just a great comfort food, but quite tasty. Just don’t think “Italian”. I recently found a…
