Blueberries are one of my favorite fruits. I love their flavor, I love their color. In fact, look at the beautiful color of the filling for these buns… The filling was so pretty and so tasty, that my husband and I devoured all the extra filling immediately. He spread it on rice cakes, I ate…
Jalapeño Cheddar Challah Rolls
I have 4 jalapeño plants this year and all are very happy. I will definitely be replenishing my supply of pickled jalapeños. But I have a bunch of other plans for my peppers as well. The first is a Challah I have been waiting all year to make; I needed to wait for my plants to…
Peach-Blueberry Yogurt Cake
Yes, peaches again! But it is also blueberry season and, to me, peaches and blueberries are a great combination. The both taste and look beautiful together. We were going for our annual 4th of July celebration at Farmer Kim’s and I always bake something for it. This peach-blueberry cake worked great as a bring-along dessert….
Peach Jam
Peaches, peaches, peaches! I can’t help myself, if I pass a peach stand, I stop and buy some. It feels like they are around for so short a period, I have to indulge while they are here. But sometimes, I buy too much. I had 8 peaches that were threatening to over-ripen. So, I searched…
Peach Sangria with Cherries and Blueberries
It is peach and blueberry season here in Delaware! Time for a peach sangria! I am sitting here enjoying my glass of sangria, so this will not be a wordy post, just enough to share the fun… Last weekend I went to Harvest Ridge Winery to run my first 5k since last fall. I had injured myself the…
Tuscan Tuna with Beans & Kale
What came out of my garden today? Sage and Kale. What came out previously? Sun-dried tomatoes. Add cannellini beans, tuna, grape tomatoes, celery and olives and you have a bright, colorful and healthy dinner… There was some discussion in the family about the need for the celery – or lack of need. My daughter thought…
Strawberry Jam with Thyme
I found another thing to do with my strawberries! And with the thyme in my herb garden. This is a delicious jam I first tasted in Barcelona on my visit with my daughters. What a treat to make it at home! Strawberry Jam with Thyme from Le Pain Quotidien by Alain Coumont & Jean-Pierre Gabriel…
Strawberry time in the garden
That’s just what I picked this morning. I am getting this much every day or two. I have started freezing some, but am in the mood to make something fun with them. Here’s a look back on strawberry recipes past… Strawberry Frozen Fruit Pop (definitely making these!) Big Reds – Strawberry Muffins Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp for…
Wheat Berries with Asparagus, Kale, Peas, Feta and Fried Egg.
Yes, it’s that time again… Kale bouquets! If you are new to my blog, let me explain… I harvest my kale in the morning when it is cool and stick the leaves in a vase or glass of water to keep the kale fresh and crisp. And, it is fun to look at in my…
Kale Salad with Gouda
The kale in my garden is ready for first harvest! As you can see I am growing two different types of kale, curly and siberian. The curly kale is still small, but the siberian has grown more quickly. I harvested enough to make a flavorful Caesar-type salad to have with our lasagna. The flavor was…
