Spinach with garlic, raisins, pine nuts, and red pepper flakes might seem like a weird combination, but let me tell you, it’s absolutely terrific and quick to put together. ~~~ I’ve been making this dish forever. Where did I first discover it, I wonder. Maybe in a Spanish or Italian restaurant, or one of my …
It’s the third week of our winter CSA from In Good Heart Farm. We’ve had freezing temps at harvest time the last few weeks so our pick-ups were postponed until this week. Kale Last night I made the most delicious dish with kale, butternut squash, sage, parmesan cheese and gnocchi. We had it as a …
This creamed greens recipe includes pancetta, mushrooms, red bell and poblano peppers, onions and carrots. Try it with kale, tatsoi, spinach, collard, turnip or any other greens. ~~~ The creamed greens recipe I posted two months ago is really good, but I kept thinking it could be even better.

The Salemville brand has been on sale lately at Lowes Foods so I’ve been enjoying their Gorgonzola. So creamy with just the …
Portobello mushrooms layered with prosciutto, provolone cheese, spinach, pepper (red bell and/or poblano) and maybe eggplant too — oh, how I love this recipe. This is one of my favorite Friday night recipes. It’s one of those “raid the refrigerator” recipes. My inspiration was the sight of Portobello mushrooms on sale. I knew I had …
I’m always on the look-out for no-mayo potato salads or sides. If you read my recent Southwestern Potato Salad post, you’ll know why. I found this recipe on one of my favorite cooking blogs, The Kitchn. As is usually the case with their recipes, it was delicious. My herb garden, a row of pots, doesn’t …
