Kale chips have been all the rage for a few years. And why wouldn’t they be? Salty. Crispy. Can’t Stop At Just One. And (semi) nutritious. What could be better? They’re super easy to make, and it’s fun to play with different seasonings and flavorings. I like cracked pepper!

A Ratatouille of Sorts
My last post was based off of another person’s recipe. This post is based off of another person’s recipe. Apparently, I’ve been more into reading recipes than I have been into whipping up original creations lately. That said, this ratatouille feels like the answer for every overzealous gardener who finds him/herself with an abundance ofContinue reading “A Ratatouille of Sorts”
Swiss Chard Rolls
The recipe I want to share with you all today is not my original recipe; it is stolen, but it makes such a delicious and healthy product that I feel compelled to write about it. And it was “stolen” from our CSA newsletter, which makes me feel a little bit more okay with my almost-recipe-plagiarism.Continue reading “Swiss Chard Rolls”
Date Balls
Yesterday, in my blog post about chocolate-covered peanut butter balls, I mentioned that I don’t get too into baking for the holidays. Yet, here I am, about to write about another holiday sweet. Today’s delight is a bit healthier. It’s entirely vegan and raw. I’m writing about date balls! Medjool dates arrive to our houseContinue reading “Date Balls”
Squash Curry
Something that I make quite often is Squash Curry. It’s so simple, and doubling the recipe makes it great for potlucks or packed lunches. Plus, between our gardens and our CSA box, we usually have squash growing out of not only our ears, but our toes and nostrils too. Ingredients:1.5 lbs. of cubed squash1 14-ozContinue reading “Squash Curry”
Spicy Garbanzo Beans
March and the start of April are challenging eating months. The stockpile of root veggies grows smaller, and at this point, more rutabaga, turnips, or cabbage aren’t as appealing as they were even a few weeks ago. The pantry of canned foods gets emptier and emptier…and all of my favorite snacks were eaten first, soContinue reading “Spicy Garbanzo Beans”
Thanksgiving Favorites, 2011
We were lazy this Thanksgiving. The appetizer we shared with our families involved zero preparation. We simply opened jars, did a bit of slicing and dicing, and viola – complete! As the holidays approached, we realized we had done a lot of pickling and fermenting this summer. We decided to share a platter of salty,Continue reading “Thanksgiving Favorites, 2011”
Eating Seasonally: Practice Makes Perfect
Recently a friend asked, “How do you use all of your CSA box and garden?” This wasn’t the first time a friend or family member has wondered that. After seven years of membership, we have worked out a system. We 100% build our weekly menu around the box, and one big way that we useContinue reading “Eating Seasonally: Practice Makes Perfect”
A Produce Plus Weekend: Sweet Peppers, Edamames, and Cucumbers
We spent the better part of our weekend in the kitchen. But, as I’ve written before, spending time in the kitchen with a large glass of wine and some good tunes with the one I love is a beautiful thing. So, what did we make? Well… On Friday, Andy brought home a large pail ofContinue reading “A Produce Plus Weekend: Sweet Peppers, Edamames, and Cucumbers”
