It’s another CSA cooking week! CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. This is a way to support local farmers and to learn more about where your food comes from. Every CSA might be a little different, but the basic idea is you pay a farmer upfront for a whole season of produce. In today’s YouTube […]
Find the two recipes from this week’s video below: I enjoyed these two recipes with my yellow squash bread from a few weeks ago with a little change. This time I substituted a mixture of stone ground cornmeal and rolled oats instead of just using oats. It is delicious both ways! As always, all my […]
Jump to Recipe This week I’m showing you how I use up leftover veggies. I always try to have plenty veggies on hand through the week, but not so much that I end up wasting anything. As much as I try to get just the right amount, there’s bound to be times when they don’t […]
Who doesn’t love a good sheet pan meal? In this week’s video I’m making a delicious, no-fuss meal with some of my favorite cruciferous veggies. Roasted veggies are always delicious, but the red cabbage in this recipe is a definite winner! If you haven’t tried roasted broccoli or cabbage, you’re missing out! Watch the video […]
This week I’m showing you how I throw together a quick one-pot dinner. The exact ingredients and amounts aren’t what’s important. The idea is just to throw together what you have so you can always throw a meal together with little or no planning required. I encourage you to look at what is in your […]
This dish is a combination of some new-to-me ingredients that I wanted to try out: black rice noodles and Za’atar spice blend. I recently discovered black rice noodles in an episode of Jane and Ann Esselstyn’s Youtube show. So I decided to use them here. Regular rice noodles would work just as well, or you […]
Most dressings out there on the market use tons of oil. If you avoid highly processed and refined products like oil, try this oil-free template for dressings. Start with lemon juice and vinegar (or pick one or the other), add a little bit of date syrup, mustard (I like dijon), and any herbs and spices […]
Last week we had a major snowstorm with 10 inches of snow and quite a bit of ice mixed in as well. While the roads were clear enough by the weekend that I could have gone grocery shopping, I didn’t really feel like venturing out. And I have a freezer and pantry stocked up for […]
I like to meal prep, but I usually do it without a plan. I know that sounds like the opposite of what most people tell you to do. But when you learn this method, it takes the stress of planning out of the equation. I cook based on what I have and what looks good […]
I know I already did 5 days of oatmeal recently, so you may be sick of hearing about oats. But oats are so healthy and one of my favorite foods. I love to find every way to incorporate more into my day. These snack cookies are perfect. They are not too sweet, but so tasty. […]
