Eating and living locally . . . mindfully . . . simply.
I’ve had this recipe in my head for awhile now. A pasta salad with tuna and Mediterranean flavors. On Saturday, my husband spent much of the day trimming trees in our backyard and then picking up the branches. Since I wasn’t sure when he’d take a break for lunch, I decided it was a great [...]

I looked over the recent recipes I’ve posted, and boy, am I getting lazy! And despite my best efforts, I have not made a dent in the greens. I’m going to have to freeze some. My next pickup is tomorrow, yikes. I find myself putting greens in EVERYTHING. As an example, here’s my go-to breakfast during CSA season.
I chose this recipe from Clean Eating Magazine because one can never have too many kale recipes. And it sounded good.

That’s the nice thing about Simply in Season. They actually give you permission to make substitutions! An added bonus [...]
I know, I’ve teased you with this recipe before. I finally got around to making it. I ended up using kale AND chard, since the one bunch of chard didn’t equal a pound. This is from the fall section of Simply in Season. But kale and chard are great all year round!
So I had these spring turnips from the CSA pickup and no recipes in Simply In Season that called for them. Lucky me, I have a couple of cookbooks in my “to review” pile. I found a recipe in Eating Local: The Cookbook Inspired by America’s Farmers that sounded good. (Look for the review next [...]
