Welcome those of you visiting from the Chick Click Carnival! And regular readers, you are always welcome. One of the best things about blogging is finding new friends. In fact, I have even met many of my “blogging” friends in real life!

My blog is about cooking with local, in-season ingredients. Remember the movie Julie & Julia? About the same time that that movie came out, I decided that in order to improve my cooking skills and to eat more locally, I would cook through the recipes in Simply in Season. So far I’ve learned a lot, although because of the seasonality of ingredients and because life sometimes gets in the way, it’s going to be a big challenge to get them all finished by the end of August. We’ll see!

Now I’m supposed to link to one of my favorite posts. The most popular, by far, is Top 10 Things to Do Before CSA Season. It offers tips for getting your kitchen organized before harvest starts coming in (and it’s never too late to do that!)

The Chick Click Carnival features the peeps from the little widget below. One of my favorite peeps that I found through it is Not Quite June Cleaver. If you’re looking for some new blogs to follow, check them out! (oh, and don’t forget to subscribe to my blog – see upper left hand corner – or follow me on Twitter).
