My new food discovery this year was bibimbap – a Korean rice, vegetable and egg dish (it can also contain meat). All it took was trying it once and it has become my go-to dish at Korean restaurants. And yes, sometimes I even have cravings for it. So here is my attempt at bibimbap based…

Ligurian Kale Pie
More kale from the garden! And some swiss chard from Highland Orchards. Just right for this recipe I saw on the NY Times cooking site – Ligurian Kale Pie – a free-form pie with an olive oil crust. This is a very simple looking food, but don’t be deceived, the taste was fabulous! It was light…
Calzone with Tomato, Kale and Cheese Filling
This is a great time of year; veggies in the garden are coming in, typically one at a time. This week it is the red russian kale. I have plans for some fun, different dinners. Tonight it was calzones. The filling on this was great, we had to force ourselves to stop eating it before…
Kale and Leek Quiche
I love quiche. I especially love healthy quiche. I super especially love healthy quiche made with veggies from my garden and Farmer Kim’s eggs! OK, I’ll admit it, I used a prepared pie shell for this one. It was a busy day and I was in a rush to do all the other preparations to…
Garden Fresh Fried Rice
I was not in the mood to fuss over dinner tonight. I didn’t even want to cook, but I had a lot of fresh veggies calling to me: broccoli and bok choy from my garden, asparagus from Filasky’s Produce, and sundry other veggies including carrots, celery, and onions. I decided on a stir fry, the next…
Roasted Cauliflower Melt
I had 8 cauliflower plants growing in my garden. The operative word being “had”. I went out one morning to find the tops eaten off of every one of them. All that was left were the base leaves. Incorrectly, I blamed the bunnies and tried to figure out how they were getting into the garden,…
The Challah Project #4 – Honey Challah
I did not like this dough…but I loved this challah! The dough was so sticky, I ended up adding at least an extra cup into the mixer to make it even look like a real dough. But once it rose, it was almost normal. I am assuming this was because of the amount of honey…

Ramen with Quorn and Bok Choy
Before I made this, I was pretty confident that it would be good, but I didn’t realize it would be delicious! I used a recipe for spicy ramen with beef an bok choy from Food Network Magazine as the base to kick off from, but because I was using Quorn and cooking for a 6 year old,…
Spaghetti with Kale and Garlic Chips
My early harvest items dictated our dinner tonight. I harvested the heirloom kale (which looks more like chard, but tastes like kale, but you can use the stems like chard). Because of the similarities to chard, I decided to use it in a dish I normally make using chard – Spaghetti with Swiss Chard and…
