Given my love for pasta, I felt a personal obligation to have a recipe for spaghetti with meatballs in my repertoire. I never have a shortage of Foxhollow Farm ground beef, chuck or sirloin in my freezer and it takes almost no time at all to blend this grass-fed goodness with a sweet and savory aromatic mix of carrots, shallots, …
“Just let me know if you want any chard – I’m substituting other items in the CSA basket as no one seemed to really want it.” I’m standing at the Douglas Loop Farmer’s Market staring at Pavel in utter disbelief. What does he mean no one wanted the chard? My arms are already feeling the strain of the two bags I …
I remember when I was a little girl and I absolutely refused to eat the yolk of an egg. My Mom would always cook our eggs sunny-side-up, the yolk medium set. My little hands would cut around that yellow-orange mystery ball with incredible precision, being ever so cautious to ensure that the whisper-thin seal did not break, pouring over my silky-sheen egg …
I’m going to keep this post deliciously simple. After all, those two words – delicious and simple – perfectly embody this pure, enriching and flavorful marinara. Pantry staples blend seamlessly, creating the most wholesome of meals – pasta with tomato sauce. If you’ve been following along, even just a bit, you will know by now that for me everything in the …
Being entirely new to both the world of hiking and the world of ramps, I wasn’t sure what to expect when Z, Benton, Maggie and I set out on our mission to forage this fleeting wild onion. We packed a picnic of fresh veggies and farmers-market bread, grabbed a chilled bottle of white and set out to find the ramps …
This weekend we are ‘springing forward’ (don’t forget!), an annual signal that the end of winter is near and the luxury of spring and the blossoming of farm-fresh vegetables will soon be our reality. This promise of brighter, warmer days comes at a cost however, and we still have a few remaining dreary nights ahead of us. I find my …
The people at the Fresh Market off Brownsboro Road must think I’m odd. I recently found myself walking slowly through their just-large-enough grocery, entirely caught up in my own thoughts. I had the rest of the week’s shopping complete, my meticulous list of recipes to test and ingredients to sample marked off, line by line, each item now tucked away …
I bet you have a go-to dish. A dish that travels well, can be made in large batches and is generally appealing to most friends/family/coworkers. A dish that compliments almost any main course, a side that everyone would be happy to welcome to their plate. I also bet you are sick and tired of making it every week. We are, …
This is not what I originally had in mind. It all started with my pursuit for a perfect, go-to marinara sauce. I’ve been going round with this for several turns now and have exercised restraint with every trail… ‘no Lindsey – put the red pepper flakes down – one quarter tsp is enough!’ ‘For goodness sakes Lindsey, step away from …
I think it’s becoming a theme. Delicious, savory dinners made in less than 20 minutes from ingredients I already have at hand. I love this. It is the kind of dish that makes me look forward to cooking the next night. A stress-free, relaxing meal to prepare, allowing me to appreciate being in the kitchen and to think up what …
