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 […]

RSS feed for this sectionRoasted 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 […]
Winter Pizzas
Garden-fresh pizzas in any season are a treat, but the warm oven dish lends nicely to cold wintry nights. 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 […]
Maple Glazed Carrots
Last week we were graced with an abundance of carrots in our Winter CSA shares: earthy and sweet. Carrots are an often overlooked vegetable. But what would a hearty beef stew or a creamy, yet biting, coleslaw be without them? They’re excellent shaved into salads and cut into thick coins for soups. Carrots add an […]
Stuffed Acorn Squash
I’ve said it before: I love those winter squashes. Baking them and serving with some melted butter (or a drizzle of oil) is simple, yet delicious. But wait, what’s this? Squashes include a hollowed out space; a cup just waiting to be filled. What should we put in this cup? I have so many ideas! […]
