While perusing through my pile of recent magazine recipes I came across one from Food and Wine for “Crunchy Pork Kimchi Burgers” and I thought well, this sounds weird, but oddly good at the same time. Then I went to the Northampton Tuesday Market and there was a vendor sampling...
If you’re in the market for a warm vegetable stew with luscious spices which will reheat well, then I’ve got a dish for you. This is a very mild curry (which you could heat up with some cayanne and/or crushed red pepper if that’s your preference) and it has notes...
I would like to start off by saying that I love spinach. I love it raw in salads. I love it wilted in chicken broth, heavy on the freshly-cracked pepper. I love it slightly cooked and drizzled with olive oil, especially when a clove of two of fresh garlic has...
I love growing my own fruits and veggies. This year I started all of the plants for the garden indoors, from seed, and just got them transplanted to small pots this past weekend. I can’t wait until they’re in the freshly tilled garden plot. The raspberry bush has been trimmed...
Need a new way to prepare winter greens that are lingering in the fridge? Or do you have some frozen peas to use up and aren’t quite sure how to go about making something interesting with them because if you serve plain ol’ peas again you’ll be banished from meal...
While searching one night for a salad that would pair well with dinner I found this recipe. It’s light, and sweet, and packed with protein and iron. Did you know that the aduki bean is the second most popular legume in Japan, following the soybean? And that sometimes they are...
Ladies and gentlemen: what kitch has for you today is another creation out of guest chef Neil’s kitchen. This started off as a vegetarian dish to which Neil added chicken for protein, but it could certainly swing back to veg in a heartbeat. He pulled off a cream sauce made...
I can honestly say that I make stuffed peppers about twice each cool season, and I have never made them the same way twice. Sometimes I stuff them with quinoa & veggies, sometimes with brown rice. When I was a little girl my Mom stuffed green peppers with hamburger &...
I was in a small grocery store in town the other day looking for a cucumber and they had none. What I spied in its stead was a package of organic blueberries. I couldn’t say no. It’s the beginning of March and I haven’t had a blueberry that wasn’t frozen...
Yesterday’s Farmer’s market had the best selection of fruits and vegetables yet this year, so I stocked up. I had fresh garlic and eggplant, summer squash and zucchini, farm fresh eggs, and the list could go on and on. A few nights ago my sister-in-law was over for dinner and talking...
