(image from here) Cranberries might just be my favorite fruit. While it’s hard to beat the warm sultry sweetness of a ripe peach in the middle of summer, something about the crisp tartness of the cranberry really makes me happy. I will eat them in almost anything. Beyond muffins with orange zest, cranberries are fantastic [...]

Shiitake and Wild Rice Risotto
Posted in $$, entrees, large yeild, not quick, not TOO hard, one pan/ pot, sides, vegetarian on October 9, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
This week, I went to the wednesday farmer’s market to get sun gold cherry tomatoes and came back instead with a bunch of leeks, an eggplant and some shiitake mushrooms. It’s hard to resist beautiful produce. I used to really hate mushrooms, but Matt loves them, so I’ve been making an effort and warming up [...]
Warm Chickpea Salad

Chickpeas are probably my favorite bean. Although it’s hard for me to play favorites. I threw this together tonight for a potluck. I had planned to make a Sardianian chickpea salad that I had saved the recipe for, but I was in a rush and didn’t want to start up my computer to find it. [...]
Carrot Salad

This vibrant and delicious dish is great for summer. It’s also mostly raw. There was an original recipe at one time, in an Asian cookbook of my mom’s, but this version is mine. It went over well at a recent potluck – no left overs (but I wished I had some.) 1/2 c orange juice [...]

I love a good, fresh, fruit salad. I like to make it in the morning to have for breakfast, then bring some to the beach (or work) with me, then have some when I get home, then have some after dinner… you get the idea. Since I’m not the only one in my household who [...]

I never used to be a big smoothie person. Then, last spring/ summer happened. In the deli where I worked, smoothies were part of the menu. Inevitably, after making them, there were the occasional left overs and I drank them so that the last drips wouldn’t go to waste (and so I knew what the [...]
The Best Coffee (in my compeletely biased opinion)
Posted in easy, one pan/ pot, quick, to drink, vegetarian on May 10, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
This is my coffee pot, and I love it. I reserved space for it in my camping backpack (which is what I packed to travel back up north) because I didn’t want to spend the summer without it. It makes the most delicious, rich coffee, that I usually make dark and drink black. Or with [...]
Two Lentil Soup

When the weather is dreary (as it now is) there is no food I like better than soup. Lentil soup is one of my favorites. I whipped this one up last night as an alternative to my usual curried lentil soup. It would be great topped with a little shredded Parmesan, but I didn’t have [...]
Sweet Potato Hash Browns

Sweet potatoes are available to us at our farmer’s market year round, so we were eating a lot of them through the winter. This continues to be one of our favorite ways to prepare them. The hash is great on its own or makes a good side to eggs. It takes a little while to [...]
Spinach Salad with Sweet Pea Tendrils and Nasturtiums

I was scanning through some recipes in a cookbook I compiled last year* and I found this one. Although nasturtiums aren’t quite in season yet, most of the other ingredients have already made appearances at our market, making this a perfect springtime salad. a few handfuls of fresh local spinach a handful of sweet pea [...]
