Get Tropical with Mango Salsa

July 26, 2007 | 1 Comment

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 […]

Tomatillo Time

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 […]

Garden Fresh Salsa

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 […]

I admit, I was dubious about grilled fruit the first time I tried it, but it’s quite good. It is a strange concept to get used to, though. The way I see it, you’ve got the grill going anyway, might as well do something a little different for a dinner party or just jazz up […]

We’ve been talking ice cream this week. It has occurred to me that some folks want an ice cream alternative. Something lower fat. Something healthier. Something to feel less guilty about. So, here’s a great recipe that we use around here all summer in some form or other.
See, I’m much more particular about what […]

Today we’re just going to get down to it. I mean, why not? It’s too hot to mess around.
This is one of my favorite recipes and it comes to you from cooking.com.
I’ve tried other Strawberry ice cream recipes, but I’ve always come back to this one. Part of why I tried other recipes […]

The Quintessential Summertime Treat!

This week we’ve gotta talk ice cream. It’s officially summer now. Yes, solstice, sure. But as a kid it always felt like summer started once the 4th of July came. Then it became (officially) ice cream season—at least for those of us who are (and always have been) food-focused.
At this time, I […]

It’s one of my favorite times of year right now. Strawberry season. We belong to a CSA farm and for 2 weeks we have gotten 2 quarts of fresh-picked, native strawberries. Um. . . . YUM!! Now, for the most part these little beauties don’t make it into recipes at all, they […]

Corn can be confusing.

My husband loves corn muffins and corn bread.  In fact he likes anything corn. He’s not big on the vegetables in general.  We often debate about whether or not corn is a vegetable at all.  I say it’s not and even if it is, it’s largely indigestible and loaded with sugars.  And therefore, he can’t […]

There’s lots of folks in the world who can’t handle gluten. For whatever reason their bodies just can’t deal with it. These folks are lucky that they live in a time where we have lots of resources for eating gluten-free. There are some great recipes out there, and I have one here […]
