Southwest Squash Casserole

Jun 16, 2012

This is the third CSA pick up from our summer CSA with Delvin Farms and I think we’re getting the hang of it. Since we signed up for a half share, we pick up our box every other Saturday from one our local farmers markets.  Because we get whatever was harvested during that week you never know ...

Asian Broccoli Slaw with Ginger Soy Dressing

Asian Broccoli Slaw with Ginger Soy Dressing

May 6, 2012

Sometime a light veggie dish like this is just what the doctor ordered – especially when you’re trying to eat lighter to compensate for some less than stellar food choices (don’t ask). Broccoli slaw mix is new to me. I’m not a huge fan of broccoli so I’ve never bought it but it was on sale at my favorite store so I decided to experiment.  Although ...

Sweet and Sour Refrigerator Pickled Beets

Apr 5, 2012

People keep telling me that beets are an acquired taste. Apparently I acquired a taste for them early in life since I’ve always liked them – even the pickled ones in the jar. I don’t however like the mess beet juice makes. Be smarted than I was the day I fixed these. Do not wear ...

For the past two weeks hubby and I have gone from eating meat and dairy almost every day to eating it once a week. Boy let me tell you it hasn’t been easy. The meat hasn’t been that difficult to give up but eggs and dairy has been a whole difficult story. I never realized ...

Brown Sugar Glazed Butternut Squash for Two

Brown Sugar Glazed Butternut Squash for Two

Feb 6, 2012

When it comes to butternut squash, I like to keep it simple. I wasn’t even sure I liked this type of squash until a couple of years ago and since then I’ve gone through several different recipes. I always knew it had potential but I couldn’t find a recipe that knocked my socks off. After ...

Smoky Mac and Cheese

Smoky Mac and Cheese

Nov 6, 2011

Sometimes I feel bad that most of our meals revolve around my favorite dishes more often than my husbands. Luckily my hubby is very flexible about food and we have very similar tastes. However there are a few dishes where our tastes diverge. Macaroni and cheese is one of them. It’s one of my husband’s childhood comfort foods ...
