When It Is Too Cold For The Birds To Sing Then Make A Dumpling!, February 5, 2014

Parsnips Aren't Intimidating And Neither Am I, February 7, 2014

First Fresh Friday of February! Up this week? Parsnips! I don’t have any logic behind why I chose them, other than I went to Soergel’s Orchards Market in Wexford a few days prior and decided they didn’t look too intimidating. How hard can a dirty white carrot-looking vegetable be? I picked up four…just in case … Read More ›

I Found Myself Bypassing The Crackers For A Spoon...Oops

Since I made that marvelous Spinach Artichoke dip a few days ago, I’ve been dreaming about dips.

Dino Kale – Not As Terrifying As It Sounds

Posted January 25, 2014 by Trish

Fresh Friday! I introduced you to my love of curly kale a couple weeks ago and decided that maybe I should be trying dino kale now. (Don’t worry. The name is much more intimidating than the vegetable, so don’t go running for the hills yet.) Also known as Tuscan kale, it looks quite different. Primarily flatter and … Read More ›

Acorn Squash Recipes – The Typical And The Trishical

Posted January 11, 2014 by Trish

By coincidence, I am doing a second new vegetable a week after the first. Maybe that’s a sign? Perhaps I should try a new fruit or veggie every Friday? I’ll consider it. Up this week, acorn squash. Like the spaghetti squash from last week, it is also considered a winter squash variety. You shouldn’t be … Read More ›
