When Life Gives You Meyer Lemons Part 2

February 25, 2010

February 3, 2010

I’m a huge fan of kale. If you follow this blog, you know that I include kale in my recipes, from soups to smoothies, all the time. It’s so very good for you, with all those bone building minerals in particular, that I just can’t help loving it.

Baby Spinach Salad with Toasted Hazelnuts, Pear, and Parmesan

January 15, 2010

I’m sort of a salad freak. I’ll put pretty much anything in a salad, and I rarely make exactly the same salad twice. Here’s a new one that I just love.

I love the mild flavor of baby spinach as well as the simplicity of using it- there is no chopping required. And as far as [...]

Spicy Garlic Shrimp with Kale and Quinoa

January 7, 2010

November 25, 2009

I had plans to do a Thanksgiving recipe round-up earlier today but with parent-teacher conferences to attend, the kids home from school, and all the cooking and cleaning that needed to happen before tomorrow, a recipe round-up was not in the cards.
I’m guessing that by now, you’re pretty settled on what you’re making tomorrow, [...]

Runner Bean Salad with Radicchio, Radish and Red Onion

October 16, 2009

“R” is a letter like “C”…as far as my alphabetical blogging challenge goes, there were lots and lots of options to choose from…
I’ve been wanting to do something with my homegrown scarlet runner beans, though, and with the frosty weather upon us at this point here in upstate NY, it was definitely time. Adding them [...]

Ginger Garlic Greens

October 6, 2009

In honor of the letter “G”, we have Asian-inspired ginger garlic greens on the table today.

Dark green leafy vegetables are one of the most nutritious foods you can eat- they are incredibly high in minerals including calcium, and I just love them.
I had some lovely local organic baby bok choy so that is what [...]
