I’ve been trying to get ahead on making meals for the freezer again, for nights when I’m not feeling well, for nights when Charlie and I are tired, for nights when Charlie doesn’t get home from school until ten o’clock at night. I’ve reached out to some of my friends to help me fill my [...]

Tuesday was Crockpot Attempt Number Two, and I was really hoping to make use of the wonderful corn that arrived as a last minute addition to our farm share this week. A neighboring farm had shared enough for each of us to take six fresh ears, and I had some potatoes left from last week’s [...]

Charlie’s school semester just started up again, and his courses are not only a bit more serious (he’s loading up on sociology and social work classes in anticipation of getting an MSW after his undergrad), but he’s got more evening classes than usual and he’s getting home a lot later at night. Our epic dinner [...]

I’ve just put my first ever meal into a slow cooker. I don’t have much experience with them in general, but I do remember, wayyyyy back into childhood, when I still ate meat, that a neighbor of ours made a fabulous turkey corn soup in a crockpot. Charlie and I have been thinking about getting [...]
Whole Wheat Macaroni Salad with Dill

There will surely be a few more BBQs to attend before the quickly approaching end of summer, and macaroni salad is always a hit. We made this for the pie-eating contest and ended up with tons extra and ended up eating it for days afterwards. You see, when we were factoring in how much food [...]

My partner Charlie and I are the type of people who are modern hippies, I suppose. As I mentioned a few days ago, we almost never use paper plates or plastic forks. We recycle and we reuse a pretty dramatic amount. We joined a farm share, or community supported agriculture community this year. Hell, [...]

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
Posted in cooking, tagged easy recipes, garlic, healthy, kale, sides, snacks on July 17, 2009 | 1 Comment »
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, [...]
Beer Beet Risotto

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 [...]
Spiral Herb Rolls

The other night Charlie and I made an amazing lasagna, which I’ll hopefully have time to post the recipe for later (it was sort of quasi-homemade… we didn’t make the past from scratch, and I made one of the two sauces from scratch). But first, here’s the recipe for rolls stuffed with fresh herbs.
The [...]
