Kennett Square, PA, is the mushroom capital. And it is only 57 miles from my house, which makes mushrooms quite a local food. I have grown my own mushrooms and they are amazing, but the kits are quite costly so I only do that as a treat. I love mushrooms, but I also love dried…

Food Challenge – Jerusalem Artichokes Pan-Roasted with Winter Squash
Farmer Kim brought me my latest food challenge from his farm – Jerusalem Artichokes. He sent about 5 pounds home with Arielle. So we will be eating a few Jerusalem artichoke dishes over the next couple of weeks. The first time I had Jerusalem artichokes was last year when Farmer Kim sent some over for…
Ricotta & Pesto Souffle
Remember all that pesto I made and froze? I sent a bag of pesto “cubes” with Emily to keep in her freezer in her apartment. But there is still a lot of pesto in my freezer. So, it is time to thaw some! This dinner highlighted my pesto and Farmer Kim’s eggs in Molly Katzen’s…
Ali’s Turkey Meatloaf – in the Slow Cooker
I have to admit that I love my husband’s turkey meatloaf (ok, he was making it with beef before I came along, but now it is turkey). It is simple and delicious. ONe of the favorites of all our girls. So I thought, what if I made his meatloaf, but cooked it in my crock…

I am very excited to have access to so many of their wonderful recipes. Today’s is a kind of cross between hummus and baba ghanoush – Butternut Squash and Tahini Spread. Although I shop it here in…
Chicken Fesenjoon in the Slow Cooker
Pomegranate + walnut + chicken + rice = happy husband. Fesenjoon is one of those dishes that takes forever to make. But it is perfectly suited for making in the slow cooker, which is exactly what I did on Christmas day. We wanted to go out during the day, but I had planned on making…
