Caramelized Onion, Blue Cheese & Arugula Pizza

Mmmmmmmmm, pizza! This is an easy-to-prepare and tasty pizza, perfect for enjoying on a relaxing Friday night with some good teevee (hello, Gossip Girl) and a glass of wine.

Potato Leek Soup

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 up with your Snuggie and a good book…

Slow Cooked Black Bean Soup

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.

Pasta Caprese

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.

Fennel & Carrot Slaw

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 do…

This week’s fruit and veggie share was pretty amazing. I love August because I always wonder how such a small box…

…Can contain sooooo much produce!

Corn Griddle Cakes

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 newsletters/veggie guide.  Once I saw it, I knew I’d be testing it out once corn season arrived.

Pan-Fried Polenta with Corn, Greens & Goat Cheese

Another recipe from the spectacular Vegetarian Planet – you seriously should own this book!  This recipe is perfect for all of the CSAers out there – it uses three different vegetables, including greens.

Chile & Zucchini Quesadilla with Roasted Corn & Garlic Salsa

AKA Recipes that use zucchini/summer squash are always welcome in the summer, aren’t they?

Here we have another pair of winners from Didi Emmons’s fantastic Vegetarian Planet.
