I love me some leafy greens. The flowering brassica I received from La Nay Ferme a few days ago was wonderful. A little bitter, which is good, and full of flavor. It’s hard to believe this former picky eater could be so in love with leafy greens, but here I am. On Monday I ran […]
Polenta with Mushrooms and Flowering Brassica
I saw Helene’s post, Creamy Polenta with Russian Kale and Shitake Mushrooms a few weeks ago, and I haven’t been able to get it out of my mind. You know we’re big fans of polenta around here. I especially love polenta with greens. As I was trying to come up with a way to use […]
White Beans with Carrot and Radish Top Gremolata and Pan-Roasted Root Veggies
That was a mouthful to type! I kinda have a penchant for beans–especially white beans. I kinda just love them a lot. For awhile I’ve been wanting to make some braised beans with gremolata. I was going to use kale and parsley from my garden and I never got around to it. If you’ve never […]

They sent me an e-mail wondering if I’d be interested in trying […]

Chard with Potatoes and Tomatoes
Leafy greens. We hear so much about them these days. The world, including me, has woken up to the fact that we need to eat these super greens daily for optimal health. Now, if you are like me, you might be a little scared to try them. Believe me, I was. I mean they’re totally […]
