KALE This edible green is one of my favorites that I pick on the farm and grow at home. Its leaves are strong and hearty which unfortunately makes lettuce appear rather unvigourous. Consequently, kale can remain lively for significantly longer in the field and refrigerator (it’s great for college students!). Two kale varieties that I am familiar […]
If you’ve been following me on Facebook, you may have noticed my recent obsession with Jamie Oliver. Well, in actuality I’ve been fixated on his passionate vision for several years now but incidentally put it on the shelf for a couple dozen moons until a certain YouTube search for “Jamie Oliver 30-minute-meals” brought my attention to […]

Well, guess I’m a little late for New Year’s sooooo, happy almost new month, guys! I would say my excuse for not writing is school and work, but to be honest it’s truly been a unmotivation to blog. Bloggers go through phases, right? All I’ve felt like doing after homework is watching Netflix, knitting and […]
I hope everyone had a relaxing and happy day yesterday!

The day before my brother and his family graciously met hubs and I in town to take us to lunch and spend the afternoon […]

Herbed Roasted Vegetables Ingredients 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cubed 3 medium zephyr squashes, cubed 5-6 medium potatoes, cubed 1 white onion, roughly slivered Minced garlic (canned or fresh) Fresh and/or […]
The other day after a morning volunteering in the greenhouse at Crabtree Farms (shameless plug: volunteering here makes my heart happy!), I took home several sweet peppers for stuffing purposes. I was thinking stuffed peppers would be a good dinner alongside chicken or fish but my mother–who came in town this week–and I ended up making […]

Grilled Green Beans Ingredients 1 TBS Oil for every two cups green beans Green Beans, ends trimmed Garlic and onion powder (or freshly minced garlic and onion) Salt Pepper Directions In a […]
My husband Cobalt really likes beans and rice. He’s told me time and again he could live off just these two foods and be just fine! I’m grateful to have married such a man. :) Lots of guys would eat burgers and fries everyday or steak and potatoes or drink bottles and bottles of beer. […]
