Eating and living locally . . . mindfully . . . simply.
Collective Bias sponsored a recipe swap, and luckily I was paired with my friend from What Megan’s Making. When she sent me the recipe, she said that she had seen celery root at Meijer; I told her that I happened to have one in my refrigerator from my CSA (they last forever, it seems). “Only you would have celery root already in your refrigerator,” she said. We had a good laugh, and I set off to get the rest of the ingredients.
This is one of the recipes I made for the potluck at the Franklin Farm. DH was quite disappointed that he wasn’t going, but he did get some leftovers.
Skip the drive-thru, those overly salty grease sticks can’t compare to homemade sweet potato fries!
Sometimes people wonder how I do it all. Do I spend every waking moment in the kitchen? Am I up all night writing my blog? I work full time at a demanding job that sometimes requires travel, and am also training for a sprint triathlon. First, let me say that I couldn’t do it without [...]

This is something that I’ve been procrastinating about because I thought it would take too long to make. Surprise! It actually went together fairly quickly, for a yeast bread. Definitely worth the effort – another winner from Simply in Season.
This is an interesting salad recipe from Simply in Season. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, as I have never had a sweet potato salad before.
Carrots: Not just for veggie trays anymore! Souper healthy, souper good. (Get it? Soup?) Another home run from Simply in Season. I only had 1 1/2 pounds of carrots left, so I adjusted the quantities accordingly. In a large soup pot, saute’ 1/2 onion (chopped), 1 clove garlic, and a stalk of celery (chopped, optional) [...]
