Last night I made pasta sauce from scratch. I made it pretty quickly and it still took about three hours until completion. Pasta sauce should simmer on the lowest setting all day if you’re looking for perfection. As long as you have time for will suffice in a pinch, and last night that was three [...]

I whipped up this for a quick Saturday breakfast this weekend. Local ingredients: eggs, kale, green onion, yukon gold potato. Non-local ingredients: parmesan cheese and tomato sauce. Whenever I cook I’m always cognisant of cleanup afterwards, so I do my best to use as few dishes as possible. This breakfast was all cooked in one skillet [...] I picked up the week’s CSA selection the other night — potatoes, beets, green bell peppers, and green onions. I still had some chard and a couple potatoes left over though and wanted to use them up. So I went to Supercook.com and began plugging in what I had on hand. One of the top [...] Stop the presses, the buy local challenge is over! Were you able to go a whole week incorporating local ingredients into at least one meal a day? I didn’t track the challenge for myself but I do know I was able to complete it successfully. Tonight Ricky made a veggie soup with beets, potatoes, cabbage, [...] Honestly I haven’t given this challenge much thought. I haven’t gone off track at all mind you, it’s just that this has become increasingly easier for me to do. To the point where now I think about it as something different. Every morning after making my coffee, locally roasted by Zeke’s here in Baltimore, I [...] It’s not easy buying local. I’m young enough to not really know what a corner store is and have grown up instead with giant supermarkets offering products from around the world. I can go in any day of the year and get a ripe tomato, mangoes and bananas, and just about anything else. These stores [...] Beets * Green Leaf Lettuce * Red Leaf Lettuce * Cabbage * Patty Pan Squash * Arugula * Kale * Red Chard * Green Chard * Rainbow Chard The above is a copy of my weekly email from the store I pick up my CSA produce at. I have a full share and split it with [...] The CSA is going strong now. As I mentioned I picked up more cabbage in this week’s haul. I found myself having two heads of cabbage in the refrigerator and having no clue what to do with them. Luckily for me I came across an idea over at the Whatever Radio blog about making cabbage [...] Stick a fork in it, I’m done. I recently decided to abandon my dreams of becoming a vegetable gardener using the tiny space on my porch that I have. I faced a number of obstacles – space, lack of sunlight, lack of knowledge. I am keeping my hanging tomato and pepper plants going, though! [...] I took the plunge and signed up for a local CSA, or Community Supported Agriculture! You can think of it as a farm share, where the farmer gets paid upfront and in return provides weekly produce throughout the growing season. I don’t know exactly what I’ll be getting, or how much even, but I do [...] |
