There is an upside to days that I need to drive to Philadelphia instead of taking the train, I get to stop at Highland Orchards! The day’s picks included blackberries. I love quickbreads, so I searched for a recipe for a blackberry quickbread. The one below, from Food.Com caught my eye as simple, straightforward and combined…

Avocado Yogurt Dip & Sauce
OK, you caught me, I do not grow avocado’s, nor are they local. But the vegetables I am dipping in this are ALL from my garden and…it is too yummy not to share. I actually made this as a topping for bean burgers, but as I nibbled as I cooked, I realized it is a…
Blueberry Oat Bran Pancakes
Happy Fourth! I am very excited about this post. It is the first time Cam is the chef and I am the assistant. We discussed our plan the night before so he would know what to expect and what tools we would use. We made our pancakes with oat bran and whole wheat flour. In…
Swiss Chard Lasagna
I never get tired of my chard bouquets. I really like the orange and pink stems of this one. It was Arielle’s birthday dinner, so I wanted to do a twist on a traditional lasagna. This is lighter than the other pesto based lasagnas I have made, and I was very happy with the outcome….
Zucchini & Garlic Scape Frittata
The zucchini has arrived and I picked up garlic scape from Beechwood Orchards at the farmers market again, so I thought I would combine the two in a frittata using Farmer Kim’s eggs. Using some herbs from my garden, I had everything for the frittata except cheese. Choices in my fridge included feta,…
Garden Update

Lentil Salad with Swiss Chard
This morning I picked the second-to-last large bunch of swiss chard. There are still more bunches, but they are small second-growings of bunches we have already eaten. I am in a bit of a hurry to finish the chard so that my okra plants (which are interplanted with the chard) can get the full light…
Zucchini Pasta with Tomatoes & Feta
And so it begins…zucchini time! It is always so disarming, first a few cute little zucchini; a few weeks later and we will be innundated and no amount of zucchini bread baking will be able to keep up. But the season here is usually short lived, our plants are prone to a disease and as…
Swiss Chard – White Bean – Tomato Ragout
Still harvesting swiss chard, but what new to do with it? I wanted something really flavorful, and different from the dishes I have already made this season. Last year I had tried a few white bean/tomato dishes that were very tasty. So when I saw a dish in Martha Rose Shulman’s Mediterranean Harvest cookbook for…
