I confess. I’m not a huge fan of pumpkin pie. If I’m in the mood for an orange pie, I’ll pick sweet potato every time. When I’m cooking Thanksgiving dinner, pumpkin pie rarely makes the cut. I love pumpkin in and with pasta, pumpkin bread, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin cheesecake… you […]
Meatloaf, red sauce, mashed potatoes and baby peas… is there a more comforting meal? And, somehow, it’s still all about the meatloaf sandwiches. Scratch Tomato Sauce 4 cups cherry tomatoes, halved 1/4 cup water splash of red wine vinegar 3 Tablespoons sugar 1 bay leaf 1/4- […]
Collard Greens — Italian Style
This is a dish my Grandmother would have happily eaten as a meal (probably lunch) with a wedge of toasted Italian bread. She would’ve dished it up in a bowl with generous scoop of the broth. And, she would’ve served […]
The Rainbow Carrot Blend
One bucket of banana peppers & 4 cups of cherry tomatoes
…And, a handful of carrots
What’s for dinner? Roasted Peppers, Tomatoes, Sausage & Carrots Vegetable & Sausage Roast […]
The first night tomatoes and sausage pieces find themselves spooned over a crusty roll. Garnish with pickled Italian cherry peppers and grated Parmigiano Reggiano… or not. On the second night, the remaining sauce finds itself tossed with penne and topped with more Parmigiano Reggiano. Tomatoes & Sausage
Green Lynx Spider (female?) It’s hard to take pictures when your hands are shaking. This might not look very impressive. But, consider this, that leggy green spider is eating a very large carpenter bee. On my scale, that makes this scary/beautiful spider huge. And, it’s safe to say, […]
Traditionally, this recipe would include salt beef. The beef would be soaked and boiled twice before it would be added. But, I’ve substituted an equal amount of andouille sausage in its place. (Oxtail, stew beef, or smoked pig’s feet would be better substitutes. But, I didn’t have any on hand.) […]
Three Black Krim Plants = Three Tomatoes One was claimed by the squirrels, the second (above) we picked early to save it from said squirrels, and the third is still on the vine. Will the last one survive? It’s a mystery.
After ripening […]
The radishes are finally big enough to eat! We’ve seen cream, pink, red & white, deep red, and red with darker red stripes. But, they all taste the same… spicy. Not just a little bit spicy, oh no, they’re fire breathing, eye watering, mouth full of wasabi HOT. A result […]
Mr Stripey doesn’t like the heat. Last year we had over 20 huge tomatoes. This year? We’ve seen about 10 tomatoes on the same number of plants. And, several of those 10 weren’t pretty. So, it would be a crime not to showcase the handful of gorgeous tomatoes […] |
