Ensalada Mexicana
This is so yummy – and so easy! I almost felt guilty that it was so quick to put together and the cleanup was minimal. Of course, with the short prep time I’m actually able to blog a little this evening. This is a recipe adapted from Supermarket Vegan by Donna Klein. This was my [...]
Garden Update
My garden continues to grow and grow! Some things have fallen flat and some have exceeded my expectations. Let me give you the lowdown. Some things that didn’t work: 1. Potatoes – the potatoes in a trash can experiment yielded absolutely nothing. I found some potato skin pouches with no potato in them – but [...]
Refrigerator View
Quick, what’s in you fridge? I’ve got to say that my fridge makes me very happy right now. Starting with the freezer I’ve got a popsicle-maker, icee pops (those are Chris’), then some chopped green bell peppers – they’re from the CSA and one they freeze I’ll add them to a gallon bag I have [...]
Freaky Weeky
This past week has been a wild one. The derecho that effected a large part of the country hit us rather squarely. We lost power during the storm last Friday, but thankfully regained power the next day. Others in the area were not so lucky and are still without power. Some people have lost power [...]

I’ve been constantly amazed by the garden this year – it’s going gangbusters. My corn is tasseling, the brussel sprouts are sprouting, the beans are climbing, the tomatoes are adorable and green. Related posts:Garden BountyCrittersGarden Update
Quick change
Yesterday I made my tried and true yellow quinoa with canellini beans. We had a significant amount of leftovers, which is no big deal as they are an easy leftover to deal with. Today I chopped up a large zucchini from the CSA (actually Katie did the chopping and the pieces were a little larger [...]
Dinner!
Yummy dinner tonight. Bread from a local bakery slathered in Earth Balance, simple snap peas sauteed with garlic and ginger, leftover bean/corn/pepper/zucchini pasta sauce, and yellow quinoa with cannellini beans. I make the “yellow grain” dish often – alternating between rice, quinoa, and pearl barley for the grain and generally using chickpeas or black-eyed peas [...]
