Eating and living locally . . . mindfully . . . simply.
Strawberry season is much too short. There was only one vendor that had strawberries left at the farmer’s market today. I got enough for the pie and possibly ice cream, but might just eat them and make blueberry ice cream instead. That’s the joy of Simply in Season; it often provides variations so you can use what is . . . in season.
As my friend Holly pointed out, if you ask someone when they are having kids, the answer is that “you’ve either annoyed or depressed me.” I’ve come to accept that my furbabies, Grigio and Nero (above, they’re Italian Greyhounds), are the only children that DH and I will have unless we choose to adopt. Which [...]
I apologize for being a bit late in posting the winner. With the power outage and subsequent computer frying I didn’t have access to the internet. Barakoli Obama by Powered by Produce was the clear winner! Isn’t that super fun? Click the photo below to check it out! Also be sure to check out the [...]
Sunday morning my husband and I were rudely awakened by a severe thunderstorm. There was a large clap of thunder and lightning, and I could feel it in my chest.

The original recipe from Simply in Season calls for 16 cups of spinach. Unfortunately I don’t get near that much spinach from my CSA. But you know what I do get oodles of? Swiss Chard! So I substituted two bunches of Swiss Chard (one from last week’s pickup, one from this week’s) for this dish.

To celebrate the 4th of July, I decided to host a little Cooking Contest and Blog Hop! I hope this will be a fun way to get new recipes and meet other bloggers. Sorry, Canadians and others, you’ll have to wait for the next event. We are going to run this like an election. Week [...]
I was a little leery about this recipe when I first saw it in Simply in Season. In fact, I had lots of radishes last spring but didn’t do this recipe because I just wasn’t sure about it. However, once I decided to try to cook all the recipes in this cookbook I knew I’d [...]
