Vegetable broth is easy to make, and so good for you. It’s also part of many delicious recipes, like risotto, stews, and soups, including squash soup. Vegetable broth can also make use of the leftovers from vegetables you have used for other dishes, so it’s a great way to get the most out of your […]

Two Salad Dressing Recipes
We’ve got salad greens in the CSA shares this week, and Farmer Kyle shared with us his own personal recipe for salad dressing. I also have a go-to recipe that is quick and easy to make. Check them both out below, and give one or both a try on your next salad. And if you […]
Roasted Bok Choy
Bok choy can be used just as any other winter green – in stir fry (like this stir fried bok choy with ginger and garlic), soups (like this buckwheat noodle soup with bok choy), or sauteed with garlic and lemon (isn’t everything good prepared this way?). All are yummy! But my favorite is roasted bok […]
Perfect French Fries
Ah, the potato. At first glance it is a lowly root vegetable, but don’t let it fool you: It is capable of great tastiness. Take, for example, mashed potatoes, garlic smashed potatoes, oven roasted potatoes, cream of potato soup, baked potatoes, home fries, and french fries. The long list of things that can be done […]
Wilted Greens Winter Salad
I find that spinach, chard and kale can make for tough-to-chew salads on their own, and actually there’s some evidence that it’s not great for our health to eat them raw (put down the juicer). I puzzled once over what to do with baby winter greens, until I discovered this salad. Here’s how: Ingredients: 4 […]
Winter Pizzas

Make up a batch of dough, and try some of my suggested topping combinations – or tell us about your own favorite creations! The Dough (Makes 2 Pizzas) 3 Cups all-purpose flour (like King Arthur) 1 […]
Rutabagas in Root Vegetable Linguine
I come from a family that loves rutabagas. Maybe its the Scandinavian in us, but simply mashing the cooked root with some butter and salt makes us all very happy. But did you know there are many creative things to do with these plain-looking vegetables? Try any one of these, or use them in root […]
Ginger-Brown Sugar Carrots
I cooked a favorite chicken dish for dinner the other night, and wanted a zesty vegetable to go alongside it. There, on the spot, I made up this one: butter-ginger-brown sugar carrots. Here’s how: 4 carrots, peeled and sliced into rounds 1 Tablespoon butter 1/2-inch piece of ginger, peeled 1-2 Tablespoons brown sugar (to taste) […]

Radish Recipes
I walked into a friend’s kitchen for a potluck dinner recently and on the table was a beautiful plate of fresh radishes (from 1000 Stone Farm, of course!), with their brilliant red bulbs grouped together and their long luscious green tops fanned out around them. That night, we dipped them in some nearby Thai peanut […]
