My computer recently decided that its SD card reader didn’t exist. When you add that to the fact that two of the three USB ports had already abandoned ship, and that Word recently glitched and erased a whole day’s work on an editing project I was doing, you probably arrive at the conclusion that I […]
Dear Great Country Farms CSA Share, I guess I owe you an apology. You were right. There is a place for cucumbers in my life. Like in tzatziki. And gazpacho. And tabbouleh, which I also hated prior to this summer. We have an uneasy friendship, don’t we, CSA share? For weeks, I’ve wanted to stop […]
Oh my. Quick! Go buy some farro! You have to make this meal immediately. It’s full of springy goodness. Green peas and split peas, roasted scallions, and spring greens. Plus goat cheese! You can never go wrong with goat cheese.
Recently, we have started making family dinners a higher priority. Honestly, I didn’t realize how much eating a family dinner every night would tax my cooking repertoire! So I started dividing meals into categories, to make it easier for me to lay out a variety of different meals over the course of each week. We […]
At last, at last! Asparagus is in season! Do you know how wonderful spring is to me? Don’t get me wrong…I have a somewhat masochistic enjoyment of the gloomy gray end of winter.

It’s the middle of January! I am already flagging on my New Year’s resolutions to eat healthy. Is that just me? It’s time for a delicious pick-me-up.

Quinoa Bean Salad with Lemon-Basil Dressing
Are you wondering what to do with the last of the summer produce? I still find myself in the grocery store looking longingly at the tomatoes, even as I am getting super hyped about fall squash. So I decided to say goodbye to summer in style before the summer goodies completely lost their luster! This […]
Yum. Super Natural Every Day once again tantalizes the taste buds. This grain salad is nutty, lemony, tangy, and a little garlicky. Oh my gosh. I feel like I should go eat another bowlful right away! I decided to go with farro for this salad, because I’ve been curious about it for a while. An […]
Okay. I have become a little obsessed with quinoa. I love the idea of a grain that is also a protein! I mean seriously, as a vegetarian, I probably am protein deficient most days, but I often overload myself with carbs. So eating quinoa helps me make my carb-heavy diet work a little better for […]
Happy New Year! What is it about fresh starts that is so exciting, so full of promise? I made like 10 resolutions this year (of course, about 5 of them are already shot…oops). Like…well, every American after the holiday season is over (ahem), several of my resolutions centered around eating well and getting back in […]
