So, after my last post on the wonderful qualities of kale, I was informed by Ms. Corita Waters, of Greenbelt, MD, that there exists a website called eatmorekale.com! Sadly the website is dedicated more to selling t-shirts that say Eat More Kale, than to actual Kale recipes and information. It’s still awesome, and I’ll probably … Continue reading

Eat More Kale.
Kale is such a wonderful vegetable. I think everyone should eat more of it. Our CSA members may have noticed this, since they get it every week. Here are just a few reasons why I like kale.

Boy (or Girl!) Scout Veggies with Sage Butter
Summer is on! Marty and I have been super busy with the gardens, both combating the weeds and harvesting the bounty, which is the reason for our lack of blog posts of late. A lot of the time we’re so busy, and so overwhelmed by the garden’s offerings, that all we can do is throw … Continue reading
Peas

Then have peas with our coffee as the sun begins to shine down on the garden. Makes for a pretty good morning and who would have guessed peas … Continue reading
Thai Glazed Chicken Lettuce Wraps

If you’ve eaten enough salad already, a big gorgeous head like this one is perfect for making lettuce wraps. I recently modified this recipe to include many veggies that have … Continue reading

When they weren’t botanizing, or hauling botanical equipment up mountains, they were cooking, drinking wine, or hunting mushrooms. Thanks, … Continue reading

Mizuna Salad with Fish and Mango
Spring is here! And so are the greens from the garden. If you’re a regular reader, you’re probably starting to catch on that I make a lot of salad with fish on it. It’s a quick and delicious dinner, especially when greens are plentiful. Everybody’s eaten lettuce and spinach, but maybe if you’re in a … Continue reading

Mutton is Tasty
This is not at all what I planned, but I ended up with a whole lot of mutton. We knew for weeks we were going to have this mutton, so I set out doing some research. Most of my friends had never eaten mutton. I had never knowingly eaten mutton. My grandmother loves it, “oh … Continue reading
