Eggplant Parmesan Update
As mentioned in my post from last week, I planned on using last week’s eggplant in an Eggplant Parmesan recipe I found in Prevention magazine, which I did over the weekend. I had to pare down the recipe to about a fourth, which left me wanting to make it again. It was so very delicious, super [...]

Soup
I’m having trouble naming a soup that I have been making and refining for years. Is it Vegetable Soup? Chicken Noodle Soup? Veggie Chicken Noodle Soup with Grains? Mystery Soup? Whatever you call it, it’s a GREAT way to use up leftover veggies, and is super healthy, complete, and easy on the wallet. :-) Instead [...]

CSA Share, Week Fourteen, Day Seven

I own this cookbook, but did find it online here. I was a bit skeptical of this recipe, but since I hate frying anything and these burgers are [...]

CSA Share, Week Thirteen, Day Five
No new recipe posted this weekend. Instead, I thought I would go through the list of last week’s veggies and show you what I did with most of them, which might inspire you to take action before something in your veggie drawer gets away from you. Basil: I made pesto pasta for dinner one night [...]

CSA Share for 2010 Week Thirteen
New this week in our share are leeks. My introduction to leeks came through our CSA years and years ago, and they’re now one of my favorite veggies to see in our shares. They’re simple and light to cook with, and I like their mild, fresh flavor. All veggies this week are: basil bell peppers [...]

Curried Zucchini Soup
While on vacation in Minnesota this summer, I found this recipe in a Minneapolis newspaper. Since I’ve been on a curry-kick lately, I thought I’d give it a try. I didn’t have any broth on hand, so I used water instead, and I put in more curry than was called for; I don’t recommend this. [...]
