This recipe is a combination of a few recipes I’ve used over the years. It’s great if you have a lot of broccoli to use up. Use both the broccoli florets and stalks; just peel and chop the stalks. It’s ideal over brown rice, but I think also works well tossed with penne pasta in [...]

CSA Share for 2011 Week Four
It’s been a fantastic season for greens so far. Farmer Mike says that they thrive in the relatively cooler weather that we’ve had this year so far. No wonder the lettuce heads and kale bunches have been ginormous! The temps are heating up this week, though. Lots of new stuff in our share this [...]

Black Bean Tostada Casserole
At first glance, this might not sound like a great summer recipe, but since it minimizes my time in the kitchen and over the stove, it works for summertime. Baking this in a toaster oven, if possible, is definitely the way to go and cuts down on heating up the kitchen. My mother-in-law gave me [...]

A Summer Dressing Recipe
I found and adapted the following Balsamic Vinegar Dressing recipe in the cookbook Family Feasts for $75 a Week by Mary Ostyn. I love this dressing because I make a big batch of it in a large glass jar (mason jar size), and it keeps for up to two months in the fridge so it is [...]
