Swiss Chard, Leek, and Ricotta Crostata

With this glorious time of mid-summer comes a serious case of chard fatigue.  And kale fatigue.  And leafy green fatigue.  I have chard and kale in my garden and they grow so rapidly and so abundantly that I often can’t keep up.  And there are 

Arugula and Three Cheese Pizza

For me, arugula is one of the unsung heroes of spring.  It so often gets lumped in with “spring greens” but it’s so much more exciting than any of it’s lettuce-y brethren.  And even though it may get overshadowed by the more illustrious spring produce 

Baked Eggplant Parmesan

I discovered this recipe last summer, when our CSA box was filled with more eggplant than we knew what to do with.  After the first batch, I quickly made several more to stock up our freezer for the eggplantless winter months ahead.  We gobbled through 

Chiles Rellenos Casserole

Sometimes it’s ok to be lazy.  Sometimes being lazy winds up being a huge mark in the “win” column.  Because sometimes it means getting chiles rellenos where there otherwise would have been no chile rellenos. Anyway.  Chiles rellenos are one of my all time favorite

Cauliflower-Feta Fritters with Cumin Yogurt and Pomegranate

Cauliflower-Feta Fritters with Cumin Yogurt and Pomegranate

My poor husband.  I don’t say this lightly, because I truly enjoy reminding him what a lucky man he is… most of the time.  But when it comes to this, I admit it’s not easy being my significant other. See… he’s not allowed to “not 

Simple Tomato Salad

Simple Tomato Salad

I hate to complain. I really do.  I know I’m probably starting to sound like a broken record, because I probably went into a thing about pumpkin-flavored stuff last year, but really. Can we stop oohing and ahhing over pumpkin spice lattes?   I get 

Wheatberry Salad

Wheatberry Salad

This post will be a quick one.  Because this is a quick salad.  The kind you throw together to bring to a BBQ or you make on a Sunday night for a week of lunches.  It’s easy.  It’s tasty.  It has wheat berries in it.

Asparagus, Fingerling Potato, and Goat Cheese Pizza

Asparagus, Fingerling Potato, and Goat Cheese Pizza

This recipe comes with a pretty serious warning: once you start making your own pizza dough and keeping it handy in the freezer… you will not. stop. making. pizza.  For a long time, I thought pizza was one of those things best left to the
