Cucumber-Buttermilk Vichyssoise
Having a glut of cucumbers from our garden ... did I tell you the cucumber story? No? Okay, I'll digress for a moment. Every year we plant a small garden, mostly herbs, some grape tomatoes, and a zucchini or cucumber...
Sunday Slow Sides: Tomatoes
Still in my quest to get caught up with our Sunday Slow Sides, I made Week Five's selection, Tomatoes, with the recipe supplied by Nancy of A Wine Lover's Wanderings. Really, Nancy gave us a description more than a...
Sunday Slow Sides - Week 3 Green Beans
This week's recipe came from Annie of Churches in Venice She provided two recipes, Summer Green Bean Salad and Vibrant Tasty Green Beans, both from 101 Cookbooks. I opted for the salad recipe (and actually had it with my previous...
Sunday Small Bites - Pumpkin
Those SlowTrav cooks have been working on these small bites based upon different ingredients for weeks now. I had intended to participate from the beginning but well, you know what they say about the road to hell... Anyway, last week's...
Chocolate Chip "Squash" Bread
A couple of weeks ago I received a bunch of delicata squash from our CSA. I didn't know what to do with them until I did some research and found that they're similar to a butternut squash. Still, not having...
Pumpkin, corn, and Lemongrass Soup
This week Chris brought home lemongrass from our CSA. Of couse, I had no idea what to do with it but luckily they provided several recipes and this is the one I decided to make. A 1.5C serving comes in...
More Eggplant - Quick Eggplant Stirfry
Have you gotten the idea yet? We're getting lots of eggplants this summer from our CSA. Don't get me wrong, I really like eggplant. But sometimes, too much of a good thing ... In an effort to help me, Tourmama...
Pasta with Roasted Eggplant-Tomato Sauce
The eggplant glut continues (I think I have two left in the refrigerator). I also had a bunch of tomatoes left (we got to take 20 last week at the CSA). So I decided to make this dish last...
Eggplant Glut - Eggplant Parm Lasagna
As I've mentioned before, our CSA has totally gone overboard this year on Eggplants and I'm darn tired of making caponata. So I've started scouring Cooking Light, looking for other eggplant dishes. Although, not fall yet, and really not cool...
Eggplant Caponata - Take Two
So the eggplants keep rolling in from my CSA. And while I'm getting sick of caponata (look for a recipe for Eggplant Parm Lasagna real soon), I tried one at a farmers market in the Whole Foods parking lot a...
SSS - Peach Ice Cream
I have two disconnected memories of Peach Ice Cream from my childhood. One, I'm not sure is real but I remember visiting cousins of my mom, at their house on a lake, and having peach ice cream. Another time, I...
Zucchini Bread
It's that time of year again, the time of year when zucchini comes out of everyone's ears! We are no exceptions. Well, at least this year we didn't even bother growing our own. I've tried several zucchini bread recipes including...
1001 Ways to Cook Swiss Chard
As I've mentioned before, our CSA seems to be OD-ing on Swiss Chard this year. I don' t think a week has gone by where we haven't gotten some to cook, many weeks at least 10 leaves. Normally, I just...
Swiss Chard Out My Ears
Many of you know that I belong to a CSA, which means every week from June through November, I get a box off localy, organically grown goodies. Each week you don't know what you get until you arrive, but after...
Cabbage Heads
I think I mentioned somewhere that my CSA is experimenting with a winter share this year. They've never done one before but for $400 we get 16 weeks worth of crops from November through March (or so). It sounded like...
Pornographic CSAs
Okay - I think Krista and I have two totally different CSAs. Look at the her Pick of the Day, all beautiful, nicely layed out. Now, take a look at the stuff they're giving a way at my CSA. Random...
Caponata
The last few weeks we received several eggplants from the CSA. Not the big bulbous variety but the long slender ones. Still, they sat in my refrigerator's produce drawer until I could figure out a) what to do with them...
Life Goes On - Green Beans
Well, the hullabaloo around the century ride is starting to settle and lo and behold, I still need to cook dinner and the CSA is still giving me produce, so I thought it was time to use up some of...
Now For Something Completely Different - Cucumber
In addition to all the zucchini I got last week (by the way the chocolate zucchini cake was good), I received a whole bunch of cucumbers. So yesterday I decided to make a batch of Amy's Chilled Cucumber soup, original...
101 Ways to Cook Zucchini
Okay one more before we head out to a wedding. I made this a couple of years ago and thought I'd resurrect it now. It's still in the oven, so I can't comment on this year's endeavor but if memory...
More CSA Action
Okay - before I get dressed and hunker down with the rest of Boleskine's trip report (don't worry Jerry, it will be published soon), let me try to get the next couple of recipes up. First one, Damn Hot Peppers...
CSA Action
Man, that being on the out of control merry-go-round sensation is not abating these days. Hopefully, next weekend, after Becky's play, our century ride, and my family reunion, things will calm down some. But in the interim, I've been inundated...
