I love potato leek soup – it combines all of the comfort and warmth of potatoes and soup, and what you’re left with is a big mug of win. It’s also a super-easy and quick weeknight meal, perfect for those cold fall and winter days when you just want to come home and curl [...]

Do you know what I’m lovin’ right now? My slow cooker! It makes getting supper on the table after a long day of work a snap. With a little prep, dinner’s ready to go when you get home.

After all of that talk about late blight, we’ve been getting tons of beautiful tomatoes from the CSA. I think they taste better, knowing that they were at risk. This recipe is the perfect showcase for summer tomatoes.

Seeing as summer is almost over, I should tell you about the best slaw ever. What makes it the best slaw ever? Fennel, one of my favorite flavors, and a lack of mayonnaise. Oh, it’s easy too.
A mish-mash of a post – World Peas CSA – Week Nine, a recipe for Sweet & Sour Eggplant (sort of) and a confession…

Today, while I was staffing the Lowell Farmers’ Market, I was reminded that I haven’t updated in a long while – hi, Michele – this one’s for you!
I’ll start with this week’s CSA share – it’s week nine, smack dab in the middle of the season. We got:
World Peas CSA – Week Eight / UTEC Fresh Roots Baked Goods CSA – Week Four

First the bad news…
There isn’t a picture of this week’s Fresh Roots offering. We got four whoopie pies, two mint and two regular. Just picture in your mind four of the biggest, loveliest, most mouth-watering whoopie pies and multiply that by a deliciousness factor of at least ten, then insert that image here. That should [...]

It’s corn season here in Massachusetts which means that as CSA members, we’ll often get six ears in a single week; I love corn on the cob, but that’s a bit much for me. I actually found this particular recipe as I was browsing cookbooks for recipes to pass along to my CSA for their [...]

My healthy fruit and veggie CSA box contained water spinach, Chinese broccoli, lettuce (given to Heather), green beans, summer squash, cucumbers, carrots, new potatoes, green onions, eggplant, corn, blueberries, raspberries, peaches, and flowers.
My not-as-healthy baked goods CSA box contained these beauties…
Art is the Handmaid of Human Good
Hi my name is Marianne Gries, welcome to Art is the Handmaid of Human Good.
I am a thirtysomething amateur. Amateur what? Cook, photographer, knitter, home-economist, yogi, and writer. I live north of Boston in Lowell, MA.
I am currently unemployed employed, but a fan of frugality after my eight month stint as one of the casualties of the "great recession," and I've been chronicling my adventures cooking and eating on a budget - you can read more about how and why I'm doing that here.
