I normally think of pesto as a summer treat when there is plenty of fresh basil, but delicious pesto can me made from then just basil! This recipe uses kale, but really any leafy greens can be blended to make pesto anytime. An added bonus of using kale instead of basil is that it won’t […]

Garlic Scape Pesto
The first time I saw garlic scapes was at a farm stand down the road from my house. I had never cooked with them before, but thankfully the grower had put a pile of printed out recipes next to the scapes for sale. That’s where I picked up this recipe for garlic scape pesto. It’s […]
Noodle Soup (Pho) in a Jar
I recently saw one of those recipe videos on Facebook for pho in a jar and thought it would be the perfect take-along for lunch. The options for this recipe are nearly limitless, but they all carry along a similar theme: fresh vegetables, noodles, and broth (meat and tofu are optional but lovely additions, too). […]

Roasted Beet Salad
Roasting fall vegetables brings out their sweetness, and it’s my favorite way to prepare beets. Once roasted, these beets are great on their own, tossed in a vinaigrette, or sparkling like jewels in your favorite green salad. They can also adorn pizzas or make amazing additions to frittatas as well. On weekend mornings, we shred […]
