I’m so sorry to have been away so long! I am hoping to get back into the swing of this blogging thing come November. Got a new baby. got bronchitis. Got a fractured rib. Got a 3 year old demanding things of me. got an escape? BASEBALL!
Yes, it’s play-off time! being a New Englander who […]
It’s peak corn season around these parts and honestly, it’s hard for me to stop myself from eating like, 3 ears a day. Because I totally could. I love that Butter and Sugar variety. It’s like candy–truly. This combined with my late-pregnancy “could eat around the clock” situation means that I’m in real danger […]
At this time of year there are lots of options for getting out there and picking your own fruits. I remember when I was a kid going raspberry picking was the coolest thing. There was something fun about searching around for the ripest, ready fruits and picking them as fast as I could. It was […]
So, maybe you’re a gardener and you’ve got a cucumber bounty on your hands. Many do this time of year. It’s nice to put them on salads or maybe make a salad out of them, but another fantastic use for cukes is a chilly soup. It’s so refreshing on a hot day to have […]

I like tofu a whole lot, so, I thought, maybe there was a chance my kid would, too. Turns out I was right. But he only likes it one way—battered and fried. What’d I expect, right? Well, at least he’ll eat the stuff.
Here’s what you do—

I love zucchini. I do. It’s one of the easiest veggies out there. It’s happy with a quick slop of olive oil and being tossed on the grill. It can be chopped into salads, grated into quesadillas, added to corn chowder. The opportunities are endless! However, even this zucchini-loving gal needs new ideas for the […]
We’re talking salsa this week, but it seems that wherever salsa goes, guac goes too. It can’t be denied that the 2 are an excellent pair—great with tortilla chips, on the side of quesadillas or burritos they elevate any mexi dish to the higher reaches of yum in no time.
Here is a basic, but great […]

We never had much of the tropical fruit experience when I was growing up. Never had mango, papaya, kiwi or even pineapple much. Because of this I was always a little suspicious of tropical fruits. Except anything Tropicana. Yeah, I know that doesn’t count, but to a 13 year old in suburban Massachusetts, it’s somewhat […]
At our CSA farm, we get loads of tomatillos. It’s hard to know what to do with them all. And I find them so strange and fun in their little paper hats that I kind of can’t resist picking them when they are available.
The best way I know to prepare these little green fruits is […]
One of my absolute favorite things to make in summertime is fresh salsa. I’m a serious tomato snob, so when they finally start showing their round, red faces I eat them in mass quantities and salsa is probably my favorite way.
If there’s anyone out there who enjoys salsa and really loves tomatoes who’s never had […]
