Cam and I were home alone for a few days. Cooking for just the two of us is always a challenge, especially since he is now in a grilled-cheese-for-every-meal phase. At least he wants to make them with me (he is finally wanting to cook again!) One of the few other foods I can still…

Fried Sage Omelet
First, a garden update..things are starting to happen in the garden and it is making me very happy. As you can see in my header, the romaine lettuce is looking beautiful, and I used the first head to make a Greek salad with dinner the other night. The rhubarb is getting huge. I am not…
Asparagus, Mushroom and Tomato Stir Fry
When Arielle and I arrived at my friend Kelly’s house, we had in hand some asparagus Arielle had cut at Farmer Kim’s farm earlier in the day. It was going to be the star of dinner after our Saturday hike. I won’t go into detail about the hike other than that we did a lot…
Happy Earth Day, Pulled Tendon and Spinach Seedling Pasta Sauce
Happy Earth Day! To celebrate Earth Weekend, Arielle and I spent the weekend with my friend Kelly in Harrisburg, PA. It was to be a weekend of hiking and enjoying nature. My leg started hurting after our Saturday hike, so yesterday we decided to go for an easy walk at the Shenks Ferry Wildflower Preserve…
Fetuccine with Saffron and Asparagus
At last! Local asparagus is in! I stopped at the farm today and bought a pound to use for dinner. Picked today, cooked today…doesn’t get much better than that. I love asparagus and pasta, so I made more than we needed for our dinner so that we can take some for our lunches tomorrow (or…
Potato, Onion & Cheese Scrambled Omelet
OK, I admit it, I have been in egg mode. It happens every now and then, I will not make eggs for breakfast for a while, then suddenly I will make eggs for dinner several times a week for a few weeks. I am not sure why this happens, but, I just go with it….
Mushroom Matzoh Lasagna
As I have mentioned before, living near Kennet Square, PA, the Mushroom Capital, mushrooms are quite a local food. They are also one of Lauren’s favorites. Thus, mushroom matzoh lasagna when she came home for the weekend. This recipe is adapted from one I found on fabulousfoods.com a few years ago. The changes I have…
Lemon Broccoli Pasta
We planted the first seeds this weekend: sugar snap peas, peas, spinach, red and purple carrots, rainbow chard, and lettuce. Now I hope for regular rains to nourish my seeds. The strawberry plants are looking a little worn, perhaps they have played themselves out, we will see how it goes the year. The garlic are…
Hidden Carrot Baked Ziti
Life with a 3 year old is a challenge – sometimes even I resort to hiding vegetables to get them into my son’s diet. Even with his love of eating things from the garden, he is still a pre-schooler whose food whims change weekly. These days cucumbers are a favorite, but carrots are on his…
Oven Roasted Jerusalem Artichoke Chips
We are finally down to the last pound of Jerusalem artichokes, I can’t believe how long hey have stayed fresh! I stored them in sealed plastic bags in the vegetable bin of the fridge. Yet one more example of how long things stay fresh when you get them right after they come out of the…
