This summer I developed a bit of a tomato problem. The organic tomatoes at the farmer's market were so irresistible, I was buying pounds each week and eating them every day. Which would have been fine if I didn't also buy a 25 pound box of tomatoes being sold for an amazing price...and then another...and … Continue reading Roasted Tomato Sauce

Slow Cooker Pulled Pork with Homemade Barbecue Sauce
Last weekend we invited friends over for our first barbecue of the season. Except I was really in the mood for pulled pork, and ended up planning a whole menu that did not involve turning on the grill - oops! But we did still enjoy our meal outside, and the nice thing about this pulled … Continue reading Slow Cooker Pulled Pork with Homemade Barbecue Sauce
Potato Leek Soup
As my farmer's market wraps up, a few staples that have been consistently available for the past few weeks are winter squash, potatoes, and leeks. One of my goals for this winter is to get better at making soup, and so potatoes and leeks immediately made me think of potato leek soup. Many recipes out … Continue reading Potato Leek Soup

I am also excited about fall produce. Attempting to eat seasonally … Continue reading Roasted Spaghetti Squash

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread/Muffins (Whole Wheat)

And yet even though you can pretty much always get things like lettuce, carrots, bananas, and apples, in … Continue reading Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread/Muffins (Whole Wheat)
Shhh…it’s a secret…
Can you keep a secret? I have a confession to make... I don't like farmer's markets. There, I said it. Oh, you couldn't hear me? Ok, this is a little hard to admit, but I'll try again... I don't like farmer's markets 😦 Heresy, I know...I care a lot about real food and the environment, … Continue reading Shhh…it’s a secret…
