Ohhh, August tomato sickness strikes again. We’ve gone through pounds upon pounds of tomatoes in the last few weeks, and I’m still not over it. Roasted tomatoes in everything, including this delicious strata. We’ve made this a million times – … Read More
We made these popsicles last summer and loved them. But popsicles are often messier than I’d prefer at the dinner table (especially with a few snail-pace eaters over here, AHEM, N), so I thought I’d whirl it into a frozen … Read More
I’m generally a strictly hot-soup-belongs-in-the-wintertime sort of person (although chilled soups, such as peach and strawberry and cucumber are planted firmly in my mind’s summer, but one could say that’s more dessert than meal) (will I ever create parentheticals shorter … Read More
Tuesday was National Cheesecake Day! And I’m not one to let a holiday go un-celebrated, that’s just not right. So I took one for the team and made a dessert. And it was good. Very good. Blueberry Cheesecake … Read More

Remember how this weeknight vegetarian series was, in large part, motivation for me to plan meals ahead of time? Well, I am nothing if not very on top of all the things, and thus waited until 45 minutes before guests … Read More
A mouthful, yes? But a delicious one, I assure you. Somehow the idea of a yogurt-basil dressing had cemented itself in my brain, but when I tried it, the dish just didn’t…pop. It tasted plenty basil-y on its own, but … Read More
We love enchiladas over here. And they are a rather excellent way of using up large amounts of CSA veggies. And infinitely customizable (don’t like mushrooms? don’t use them. have some random hakurei turnips like I did? throw them in). … Read More
