Another Year, Another Cold I nipped this one at the first tickle in my throat with oregano oil. It’s not a miracle cure. But, either I’m in better shape this year or it successfully cut the length of this cold in half. As usual, I munched on buttered […]
Happy New Year!! The red tree (above) has finally been packed away for another year. And, the gold bell wreath has been packed away, too. The second will be gone tomorrow. It might seem lazy for our trees to stay up this long. But, there’s a tradition in […]
Sautéed kale finds its way to our table much (MUCH) more frequently than spinach. Those big bags of prepped kale are so temptingly easy. Sometimes I’ll chop it up a bit more into a fine, but rustic dice. Other times I’ll leave it in the big sloppy pieces that are […]
Feeling incredibly decadent, we were prepared for the day-after this year. We made a quick stop at Alon’s bakery on our way home from a day of holiday shopping. And, this post-shopping bakery stop is bound to be a new tradition. The resulting turkey sandwiches were incredibly rich and delicious. […]

If you’re looking for massive amounts of tomatoes, go with cherries and plums. Without a doubt, this year we harvested more tomatoes than ever before. We picked over 6 baskets (6-8 cups each) of cherry and plum tomatoes alone. We also had the best batch of Black Krim tomatoes with […]
These round Korean squash were a real find. They were very similar to zucchini. But, they’re prettier, lighter green, slightly sweeter and more tender. Best of all, one good sized squash makes a perfect side dish for two people. I’d buy them again any day. Sautéed Korean Squash […]
Almost always, the simple things are the best things. A freshly picked fig rarely makes it out of the garden and into the house. Normally, we stop where we stand and eat them instantly. On the rare occasion a fig does make it into the house, this simple recipe is […]
There’s always something in bloom. If you have allergies, some of those things are more bothersome than others. Is it goldenrod aggravating your allergies or common ragweed? It’s probably the more ordinary looking common ragweed that’s a problem for you given the nature of its pollen. The pollen of goldenrod […] |
