Coconut Corn Chowder

I thought I'd share one more vegetable recipe with you before the end of this month's Kitchen Bootcamp challenge. My goal with this challenge was to encourage everyone to explore the local produce available this time of year, so I thought I'd develop a new recipe using one ...

Oven Roasted Tomatoes

I have no luck with growing tomatoes in my garden (with the exception of golden cherry tomatoes that grow like weeds). I get 100% full sun in my back yard, and the plants usually dry up and the tomatoes split before they ever ripen... Part of that may be my ...

Bread and Butter Pickles

When it comes to the kitchen, I find that the more I know, the more I want to learn... I am constantly trying to master new techniques and broaden my kitchen skills. I just can't get enough! I recently decided that canning would be my next kitchen venture, so I ...

Swiss Chard Pesto

I have a weird thing about the color of my food... If food isn't the "right" color, I just can't eat it. I have never been a fan of rainbow colored cupcakes or purple ketchup. I realize that they may taste exactly the same despite the food color, but I ...

Garlic Scape Pesto

I am a firm believer in the fact that food can be trendy.  When I say that in the presence of my non-foodie friends, they give me a funny look... But, how else can you explain the recent surge of interested in the formerly-hated, slipped under the table to ...

Spinach Gorgonzola Frittata

Black Bean and Corn Quesadillas

This appears to be one of very few years that a groundhog has accurately predicted 6 more weeks of winter.  At least, he was right about the first few weeks! We've had more snow in the past week and a half than we usually do in an entire winter. While ...

Cheesy Baked Pasta with Collards and Bacon

This is another dish that I wasn't too sure about as I formed the recipe in my head... I'm really not much of a greens person in general.  Lettuce, spinach, arugula, kale, chard, collards...  You name it, I will probably turn my nose up at it. I do eat them ...

Bacon, Leek, and Arugula Frittata

After only a few years of marriage, I had completely destroyed the set of pots and pans that I received as a wedding gift. The nonstick finish was pretty much nonexistent in that short time.  So, I switched over to All-Clad stainless pots and pans just over a year ...
