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 just can’t get past the color….

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 the dog vegetable, Brussels sprouts? I…
Spinach Gorgonzola Frittata
I have to admit that I am addicted to gorgonzola cheese right now. It’s a bit of a change for me because I’ve never been much of a fan of blue cheeses, but I just can’t get enough of it. I’ve posted a few recipes using it, and I’ve also been adding it to a…
Spinach and Cheese Stuffed Shells (Revisited)
This year we signed up for a large share from our CSA. We had a medium share last year, and it was plenty of food for my husband and I, but my goal this summer is to have extra fresh and local veggies so that I can freeze them for the winter and decrease what…
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 I may lose readers (and…
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 all, but given the choice…
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 ago. I don’t want to get into…
Mayo-less Mexican Slaw
In last week’s CSA share, we got another head of cabbage. I’m always excited to pick up our share each week, but I can’t say I was terribly thrilled with another head of cabbage. I have been making various slaws and stuffed cabbages all summer long, and I wasn’t really feeling all too inspired to…
Mac & Cheese with Baked Heirloom Tomatoes
It’s rough being married to a food blogger… Just ask my husband. Honestly, though, he’s a really good sport when it comes to my food blog. He is willing to try just about anything I make, and rarely complains about things that don’t work out as planned. He also puts up with my constant photographing…
Tomato, Pepper, and Jack Soup
In the past week or two, it seems that both our garden and our CSA have started booming with tomatoes. I have already frozen as much tomato sauce as I can possibly pack into my freezer. So, I decided to tackle some tomato soup. It might not sound like a big deal, but the bar was…
