I harvested my parsnips last week. I ended up with quite a nice crop, best one yet. The first use was in a bread pudding I made for Thanksgiving, and it was one of our favorite sides (although nothing ever compares to the sweet potato casserole). The bread pudding would also be good for a…

Fig & Hazelnut Soda Bread
Flipping through the channels one night I came across The Great British Baking Show, specifically the Bread episode. I was hooked. But also, I saw some amazing soda breads being made. First on my list to try was the Fig and Hazelnut Rye Bread. I went to every store around me, but was not able…
Butternut Squash Lasagna Roll Ups
Time to use another section of my giant crookneck squash. I roasted about 2/3 of the neck and since I only needed 2 1/2 cups of pulp, it was still too much , so I will need to find another use for the couple of extra cups of pulp. Since even just the plain roasted…
Bereketei – Ethiopian Sabbath Bread
For first Shabbat after the election and I decided that I would feed my soul by baking bread. A good long process of baking bread…a sourdough. And I would celebrate not only diversity, but the diversity within my religion and make Bereketei – Ethiopian Sabbath Bread. One of the first steps was to toast some fenugreek seeds….
Minestrone for an Autumn Day
I went to one of our local farm stores and found this… It’s a crookneck squash, and it is gigantic! It is about the size of 3 or 4 butternut squashes! So you will likely be seeing this, or parts of it, a few times over the next few weeks. This recipe used just 1/2 of…
Pasta with Collard Greens and Onions
I really never thought I would be cooking collard greens, or even stranger, growing it – and lots of it! Nor that I would find collard green dishes that are kosher and healthy and that even my 7 year old would eat – which he did! (although he did call this spicy, so less red pepper…
Greek White Bean & Vegetable Stew
I am always surprised when I walk out to the garden. I expect to see the parsnips and Jerusalem artichokes that are not yet ready for harvest, not the but late season tomatoes we are still getting. They were perfect for a stew to serve to our vegetarian daughter when she came home to visit….
Sweet Potato Kugel
We had a bountiful sweet potato harvest this year. Not only are they plentiful, they are huge! So I guess you will be seeing a bunch of sweet potato posts this fall and winter. To start off with, I made a sweet potato kugel for Rosh Hashanah. I loved the flavor, but the cayenne…
Date-Banana Smoothie
My husband says bananas are the perfect food, but I say the same thing about medjool dates. So, for the ‘perfect’ breakfast smoothie, why not combine the two? Add in some almond milk and vanilla and it is a yummy and healthy way to start the day! This recipe is for one, it is easily multiplied…
Tuscan Kale Salad
Tuscan kale is my favorite kale. The only one I really enjoy eating raw. It grew very nicely in my garden this year. I won’t drag this narrative out…here’s the salad… Topped with breadcrumbs I made from one of my sourdough breads and more parmigiano reggiano. Tuscan Kale Salad Melissa Clark 1 bunch Tuscan kale…
