Italians have their frittata, Spaniards have tortillas, and Persians have kukus. They are all similar, yet distinct from each other. The kuku gets its flavor from saffron – which is ground with sugar and dissolved in hot water. My first introduction to the kuku was the second night during my first trip to Iran. It…

Collard Green and Potato Hash with Poached Eggs
Collard greens are really good for you. They have both a cholesterol-lowering ability and cancer preventive properties. And they are growing beautifully in my garden this year. It has gotten hot over the past couple of weeks, so I think their season may soon be drawing to a close until the fall. So for their farewell…
Fettuccini with Corn and Tomatoes
I have two farmers that I buy sweet corn from, Freeman’s in Lewes and Filasky’s in Middletown. They are each heads and shoulders above any other corn I have ever had. Which I buy simply depends on whether I am in the southern or northern end of the state the day I am buying corn….
Corn, Edamame & Tomatoes with Pasta and Basil Oil
If it was a little later in the season, all the vegetables except the corn would be from my garden. But I couldn’t wait that long, so the corn is from Preston, Maryland, the tomatoes from Highland Orchards, the edamame is frozen, but the scallions and basil ARE from my garden. This is such a…
Quinoa and Rice Bowl with Kale, Kimchi and Egg
The kale is going absolutely nuts in my garden! It is big, beautiful, and plentiful! The Russian kale is particularly healthy. I had thought the groundhog had killed most of the plants, so I planted more. Guess what, they are all producing now! We discovered rice bowls last year, and I especially like Korean rice…
Broccoli Cheese Latkes
The groundhog had attacked my broccoli, ate all the best parts, but left some leaves. So I left the plants in the garden. Two months later, I have broccoli! These latkes are delicious! I can’t wait to make them again for Hanukah. Tonight we had them with eggs – one of my favorite ways to eat…
Sugared Pecans
North Carolina is pecan country. So, in honor of our vacation on the Outer Banks, I made some sugared pecans. I find pecans to be a bit bland. But they are perfect for coating with yummy goodness, especially coating that also add more crunch, such as pralines or this sweet cinnamon-sugar coating. I only had…
Multigrain Waffles
We are vacationing on the Outer Banks this week. I am looking forward to getting some local peaches and nuts, and probably some wine as well. But while we are gone, I leave you with a breakfast I made before we left – perhaps my favorite waffles yet. Multigrain Waffles from Food Network Kitchens 1…
Strawberries in Minted Honey Syrup
Today I was able to visit a farm stand for Magee Farms. But it was not just any farm stand, I had helped the Magees obtain the permission to start a u-pick operation on this historic farmland. So, I was especially pleased to be able to buy strawberries at “my” farm stand. So, of course,…
Baked Strawberry Pecan Oatmeal
The strawberries are finally ripening in my garden AND I am beating the bunnies and birds to them (for the most part). They are new plants this year, so my harvest is slow and steady, not the rush of berries I have had with more mature plants. So I am supplementing with berries from local…
