Now accepting donations to purchase a KitchenAid Artisan stand mixer. Call it a birthday present, call it an investment in the business I’d like to eventually start, or call it selfish (I’ll bake you something sweet if you’re in the area, and if you’re not, you’ll get to see all sorts of new recipes appear [...]

As I mentioned the other day, my friend Bo popped by from Brooklyn to eat Kale-Came-in-Our-Farm-Share Creamy Potato Soup with us. I already had some Spiral Herb Rolls going on one rack in the oven, and I figured that it would simply be a waste of energy to not whip up some brownies that cooked [...]

We don’t often cook with kale, but both Charlie and I have been fond of it ever since our vegan buddy Milo came to stay for a few months last fall and introduced us to kale chips. This week, it turned up in our farm share. We get an email early Monday morning saying what [...]
Milo’s Kale Chips

Our love of kale was fostered by our vegan buddy Milo, and this recipe is a really easy one. Even you beginners who are always like, “Cat, I need you to come cook for me, I can’t pull off any of these recipes,” can definitely handle this one.
When you’re at the shop buying kale, [...]

I knew that today was the day I would finally use the beets from our farmshare, and I would make beet risotto! My friends Anne and Neil have made me beet risotto before, and it’s delicious, even though I’m normally fairly intimidated about beets.
Don’t be intimidated about beets, by the way. Sure, they gooze [...]
Strawberry Swirl Cupcakes

The strawberries were bought the same day as the blueberries, so they were on their way out as well. These photographed a little weird, but they taste like strawberry shortcake in one convenient little cupcake. Perhaps next time I’ll be able to make them prettier.
The ratio wasn’t *quite* right here. I ended up with [...]
Summer Pumpkin Muffins (with blueberries, coconut, and cashews)

I love baking with pumpkin, but during the summer months, dense pumpkin breads with deep, spicy tastes like cloves and nutmeg can really weigh you down. Many of my recipes originate from having something in the fridge that was about to go off, and in this case, it was blueberries. I thought about mixing pumpkin [...]
