  1. So mixed the totsoi with onion and slow cooker red beans (also from local farms), topped with my turnip greens relish made last June.
  2. Hard to believe, but I'm still eating fresh greens, even after 3 snowstorms! Abbondanza Farms protects them under row covers.
  3. So here's a stab at meat: slices of Shelton's turkey sausage, cubed sweet potatoes + chard w/ chicken broth. Sausage gave good, fast flavor
  4. Oh, also went to a naturopath and learned that my vegetables need to be paired with more animal protein. Meat is so bland--but I'll try.
  5. At Vegetable Paradise talk last night, 10 intn'l students showed up! Interesting to hear their perspectives on veggies: http://bit.ly/74BNh6
  6. Fast Lunch: Carrot Ginger Soup (Pacific Foods), white beans (canned), cilantro, spinach--I used the last Bordeaux spinach from Farmer's Mkt.
  7. Kale stems w/ lentil soup, but made more interesting with chopped tomatoes. More about the last tomatoes of the season: http://bit.ly/1kp7l9
  8. Used the same Thai flavors, just changed the veggies to baby bok choy, sweet potatoes, green pepper and onion, + fresh cilantro and lime
  9. Pumpkin Time! Thai Style: Roasted sugar pie, kale stems & onions w/ ginger, garlic, chili paste, fish sauce, toasted sesame oil, peanuts
  10. Pumpkin Time! Thai Style: Roasted sugar pie, kale stems & onions w/ ginger, garlic, chili paste, fish sauce, toasted sesame oil, peanuts
  11. Made more silken tofu peanut sauce to top cabbage, green peppers and onions.
  12. Used a little of the sausage to perk up cooked cabbage core. Sound strange? Read more: http://bit.ly/30jh4D Actually came out pretty good.
  13. Got our first order of pasture fed pork and lamb yesterday. Tried the sausage today--so lean it had no fat when cooked! Also very tasty.
  14. Had to perk up blah mutant squash w/ turmeric, curry, cardamom, cumin seeds, garlic and ginger. Added turnip greens, onion, red beans. Good.
  15. Had a mutant squash from the garden--looks like the bees scramble pollinated a spaghetti squash and yellow squash. Roasted like other squash
  16. Tried some toasted walnut oil on roasted cauliflower. Couldn't really get a feel for how it tastes--maybe it doesn't have much taste?
  17. . . . with the mirin I used toasted sesame oil and soy sauce. Also sauteed ginger and garlic with onions and chard.
  18. Sweet potato, onion and chard again, but with mirin--a Japanese cooking wine that's been sitting on my shelf forever. Thought I'd experiment
  19. Just a plain old salad with tuna, carrots and peppers. Salad dressings can be so bland. I added vinegar and salt & pepper for flavor.
  20. Leftover soft tofu is too soft to stir-fry, so blended with spicy peanut sauce. Poured over sauteed chard, onions and sweet potato.
