This recipe is a wonderful single skillet entrée that can be used as a side dish for any of your favorite Southwest inspired meals like tacos or quesadillas, or it can stand-alone either as a vegetarian meal or topped with shredded chicken, sautéed shrimp, or an over-easy egg. Left-overs can be recycled into meals forContinue reading “Garden Fiesta Rice w/ beans and greens”

Asian Noodle Salads are a huge go-to for me in the summer when fresh vegetables are abundant, but I also find myself craving them in the middle of winter when the heavier fare of comfort food starts to weigh me down (literally!). So versatile, these salads can be crafted in many different ways, but IContinue reading “Asian Noodle Salad with Spiralized Carrots”

This was probably one of the easiest and tastiest dishes I have made this summer. And even though it was a bit warm out, the comfort of a creamy chowder was needed. This, again, is a chop, sauté, and assemble dish…so it could easily be made ahead of time and heated up for service. IContinue reading “Piggyback Meals: Coconut Corn Chowder and Stuffed Patty Pan Squash”

Beets are another one of those vegetables that I dislike that I dislike. Aside from being easy to grow and providing good roots and greens, they are absolutely beautiful. Beets, even more so that carrots, tend to be the quintessential ‘farm market icon.’ Before I started managing the market this year our poster had aContinue reading “And the Beet goes on…”

However, I am sure everyone has come to the point where they cannot possibly make one more loaf of zucchini bread…so I am here to helpContinue reading “No more Zucchini Bread!”

I would love to have some special story about scones and how they became such a staple of my kitchen repertoire…but I don’t. I don’t have any childhood recollection of going blueberry picking or spending a morning in the kitchen helping put scones together then sharing a plate of hot, flaky awesomeness with a cupContinue reading “Ugli Sconz”

Here is how I did it! SALSA: The salsa can easily be made ahead of time, which helps out a lot when putting together a ‘plate’ so you don’t have to work at everything at the same time. I have been into ‘blended’ salsas lately (probably because I invested in a Vitamix as a birthdayContinue reading “Strawberry Salsa, Kale and Potato ‘Anytime Plate’”
