Artichoke, Spinach, and Ricotta Pie

Artichoke, Spinach, and Ricotta Pie

Please don’t look at my spinach. It’s embarrassing.  I got this beautiful, fresh spinach in my farm share box and I let it linger in my fridge too long.  It’s definitely not bad, but it’s not picture worthy.  It’s tired spinach.

I know I’ve harped on this before, but this time of year always drags on for me, food-wise.  Grocery store produce sections look unbearably pathetic, and the farmers’ market (which I know I’m lucky to have this early) has barely anything better.  Potatoes.  Some limp

Truffled Macaroni and Cheese with Prosciutto, Leeks, and Mushrooms

Good news!  We are officially in autumn territory!  That means that all I want to do these days is go apple picking, roast pumpkin seeds, watch leaves change colors, breathe in crisp air, wear sweaters, drink cider, and oh yeah… eat all kinds of food
