cooking together makes a comeback | menu – may 24
Last night, after what we seems like months, the whole family got into the kitchen and prepared a meal together. We had yummy Spaghetti in Pesto and beautiful Salads with Feta and Strawberry Vinaigrette. Yay! We’ve promised to set aside time to cook at least one meal as a family every week and, if the […]

Fridge contents are as follows: leftover lentil soup black beans leftover red sauce boiled yukon gold potatoes mixed lettuce brussel sprouts red peppers spring onions yellow onions carrots […]
Moreslowing down | menu for week of april 26
I woke up over the weekend in our new bed at our new place and realized that I hadn’t really had a good night’s sleep for weeks (and possibly months). The busy and the stress seeped into everything and I think we’ve all been running blind and fast for too long now. It has affected […]
MoreCSA – April 23, 2010
it took me a couple of hours to get all the veggies washed, portioned and tucked safely away. we have a well stocked wonder-of-a-fridge: carrots, kohlrabi, beets, butter lettuce (2 heads), frisee, chard, parsley, arugula, fennel, gorgeous green onions… i think that’s it. salads will be in order as well as a homemade tapenade-base pizza […]
Moremoving the kitchen down south
Good news: I shall have a larger kitchen and a gigantic walk in pantry. Bad news: We are two and a half weeks from our move date and I have ONE box packed. ONE. I put it off for as long as I possibly could without losing my mind (entirely), but the reality and procrastination […]
MoreCSA – March 26, 2010
Johnson’s Backyard Garden gave us carrots, beautiful beets, oranges, grapefruits, collards, green onions, bok choi, lettuce, lettuce and more lettuce. Salads for dinner tonight. Be kind. Be patient. Eat well.

Be kind. Be patient. Eat […]

for dinner this week
It has been nearly two weeks since I last planned a week’s worth of food. We had so much leftover food that last week was a bunch of leftovers and creative re-dos. I’m gonna keep it lighter. This week’s menu is a quick and easy one: Mixed Vegetables over Greens with Mustard Vinaigrette Chana Masala […]
MoreCSA – feb 3

We got Brussel sprout greens, spinach, broccoli, green garlic, scallions, lettuce, parsley, turnips, cabbage, oranges & grapefruits (already put away) and hordes of carrots. […]

CSA – jan 20
Hi all. Just a quick post to let ya’ll know what I got this week. We were delighted to find so much fruit (citrus!!!) in our box and have been tearing through that and all the lettuce like there is no tomorrow. Here’s the complete low-down on our box: Carrots Tangerines Oranges Grapefruit Beets Lettuce […]
Morefood plan – week of jan 11
Our food routine has been thrown to the wind as of late last week. One day after our CSA pick-up, the hubby had to jump on a flight and we were left with a mountain of uncooked produce, one man out. It also happens that he’s the one with the largest appetite in the house. […]
Morethis week’s CSA score
We are so psyched to be back at our CSA. We started last spring and fell in love with Johnson’s Backyard Garden. Our local, organic produce was beautiful, bountiful, and when picked up every other week, the perfect amount of produce for our small vegetarian family of three. We took a break for six months […]
Moreweek’s worth of food
Things are a little different, but other than having more “snack food” on hand for the bottomless pits that the folks in these parts call stomachs and a few more of the girl’s meals (marked by * below), it’ll be regular fare. No fancy special meal for the christmas eve or christmas. We will plan […]
Morebusy weekend ahead
I’ve been sick for a few days and finally have my energy back so off to the kitchen I go! We have some other stuff (very belated gift shopping, food deliveries, birthday parties, and maybe a basketball game) this weekend so I spent the greater portion of tonight getting some basic ingredients ready. I chopped […]
