The photo below is an awesome salad I made with the 2 larger cucumbers (seeded), grape tomatoes, parsley, the light yellow-green [...]

My Farm Share Week 9 Comes To An End

For some reason, I was much more efficient in getting our vegetables eaten this week. Usually, I am frantically trying to find new and exciting ways to use the vegetables and I just barely manage to get it done in time for this post. One trick I’ve learned is to cook the vegetables at night [...]

My Farm Share Week 7 Summary

This week, the flavors and aromas coming from my kitchen were all over the map. From the American Deep South to Latin America to India. The pole beans I received this week were a bit tough so I braised them into submission with tomatoes, onions and garlic. This dish reminds me of my Great-Grandma Hollingsworth, [...]

Good Morning Provence! Actually, I’m still in NYC but I feel as though I’ve been in Provence this week with my awesome farm share! This has been my favorite box since we’ve started receiving our weekly deliveries. This week I made a deliciously cheesy potato and fennel gratin. I LOVE gratins and my husband and [...]
