Some of the recent CSA ingredients I have received include sweet potatoes, collard greens, Swiss chard, and butternut squash. So don’t be surprised when these foods are the stars of the next few recipes I post! The first one up is a curry that I made using sweet potatoes and collard greens. I found a Cooking Light recipe from 1999…
Tomatoes are at their prime right now, and every week I’ve been getting lots of them from my CSA — cherry tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes, plum tomatoes, beefsteak tomatoes — you name it, I’ve got it! Besides popping the cherry ones into my mouth straight from the box and adding them to salads, I’ve been trying to use the tomatoes in…

Last week I decided to do something different with my yellow summer squash: make muffins! While I love to cook, I rarely bake, as you can see by…

Last week I told you about my CSA dinner and shared the recipes for my Grilled Corn, Basil, and Tomato Salad and Roasted Red Potatoes, Kohlrabi, and Spring Onions. The third side dish I made for that meal was inspired by Food & Wine’s Quick White Bean Stew with Swiss Chard and Tomatoes. Since I had Swiss chard, green beans, garlic…
