I've been a busy gal!
I promise I will update the posts with, well, promises, as well as add some more insights before this weekend is up…grad school, work and the damn flu has been keeping me from cooking and blogging :(

How delinquent I've been!
There is simply no excuse for me not posting, because clearly I’ve been getting veggies and eating them! Expect some new photos and experiments this weekend.

Green's the theme
Guess what we got in the farm share this week? More greens…
Last week’s greens were still not completely used, and so I had a glut of kale in particular. I learned, however, that there are two types of kale—the dinosaur variety (see my kale chips elsewhere in this blog) and curly. I was eager to use the latter, mostly because we’re in the middle of a heat wave and there...

"Biiiscuits!"
My siblings and I have this strange pseudo language that we speak to one another…I think the roots are in creating a fantasy world around our pet cockatiel, Kiki. The was truly a strange bird, but a talented mimic and full of personality. “STFU” becomes “saash”—depending on how long you draw the syllable out for it can express varying degrees of irritation or...

Cilantrohhhh!
This week we got the best cilantro I’ve ever had. Hands down. No comparison. Swoon worthy. Seriously. I ate it plain off the stalk with the fresh strawberries but still was blessed with lots leftover so I started randomly Googling recipes that featured this savory herb. Again and again I was seeing sauces, and I finally settled on this puppy:...

Hello, muffin! →
In bygone days, I was terrified of muffins and only baked popovers (c’mon, what can really go wrong with 4 ingredients?)…until I found this little link above! This recipe is simple, amazing, and gives me just enough wiggle room to be creative. I substituted half a cup of flour for quick oats and put a pinch of all-spice, cinnamon, and a spoonful of flax seed to make them...

My solid standby...quiche
When in a kitchen funk (or creeping up on pay-day so naturally I’ve spent all my money), I turn to quiche. We’re fortunate enough to get eggs with our farm share, so I literally never run out—I’ve taken to keeping Pilsbury pie crusts in the freezer and tossing one in the fridge before I leave for work on a morning that I suspect I may be hungry when I get home in the...

The $20 crockpot that's started a movement
As you can see from the photo below, I made pot roast a week ago. Super delicious! It included onions, thyme, and rosemary from the farm share. I broke down and bought carrots, the roast, beef stock, and potatoes (which I mashed rather than cook with everything else).
Brace yourself: it took me all of 7 hours to cook.
How did I deal with the wait? I snacked, I ran errands, I watched half a...

Greens, greens and more...greens
Kale. Mixed greens. Red lettuce. Green lettuce. Bok choi. Seriously? Is this some cosmic hint to consume leafy greens? Because I’m pretty sure that the universe is belligerently hitting me over the head on this one.
Rather than be intimidated into shoving everything into the humidity control drawer until I can call the vegan neighbors downstairs to rescue me, I decide to set my cross hairs...
