I really wanted to like this soup. It used all sorts of my spring vegetables and herbs. Alas, DH said it reminded him of vomit.
Lemon Thyme Bread
June 17, 2010 By 3 Comments
Although Simply in Season warned that lemon thyme would be difficult to find, it really wasn’t. I saw it at the farmer’s market for sale in both picked form ($1) and in plant form ($2). I decided to buy the plant. Unfortunately it died. Next time I went to the farmer’s market I went from [...]
Chilled Strawberry Soup
June 16, 2010 By 5 Comments
Yes, I’ll be on a strawberry kick for awhile. Simply in Season has a few strawberry recipes left, so I’ll be making regular stops at the neighborhood strawberry stand for sure. Michigan strawberries have so much flavor compared to the California ones that I’m sure are picked green or something because they are trucked from [...]
Three Pea or Greens Stir Fry
June 16, 2010 By 4 Comments
Although the title of this recipe from Simply in Season is Three Pea Stir fry, I’m doing the greens version. I have some bok choy that should be used up from my CSA pickup. I planted some peas, but they are not up yet. The CSA u-pick peas have not started yet. Some peas are [...]

I had kept putting off this recipe from Simply in Season because of the overnight soak. But I had some yogurt left that needed to be used up so I gave it a shot.

Light Wild Rice Bread
June 14, 2010 By 1 Comment
This is another one of the bread recipes from Simply in Season. In fact, there aren’t that many left. I will quite miss the challenge, although I’m sure I will find some other bread recipes to make. Now that I’m sort of in the habit, I’ll continue. That said, as you can see from the [...]

One of the things I love most about my CSA is the Yahoo Group where members post tips and ideas for using the vegetables we get in the share. Last week fellow member Kathy Simon share her list of kitchen “must haves.” She let me share it with you!
How Does My Garden Grow? 6/14
June 13, 2010 By 13 Comments
DH is such a sweetie! He put in a garden bed for me this weekend and also helped fence in the garden area to keep the bunnies out. The bunnies have eaten my beets and carrots but the peas survived. The bag garden is working well for them, but after the peas are finished we’ll [...]
Asparagus Soup
June 13, 2010 By 10 Comments
I have to admit I was getting a little panicky when I saw a sign that said this is the last week for asparagus season. I had one more recipe left in Simply in Season where asparagus was an absolute necessity. This is it. I decided to try a farm stand near me instead of [...]
