Carrot Top Pesto Ravioli with Grilled Carrots

Posted on July 19, 2016 | Leave a comment

Most of us have heard the daunting numbers and statistics about food waste. The bottom line is that there is too much food that doesn’t get utilized. However, each of us can control the food waste that comes out of our own kitchens. When you buy carrots from the grocery store, their green tops have already been removed, but when you find them locally at a farmers market or in a CSA, often times they come with their greens. This carrot top pesto ravioli with grilled carrots is an awesome way to utilize the entire carrot plant! Continue reading →

Mustard Greens and Smoked Trout Rice Bowl

Posted on July 15, 2016 | Leave a comment

Back in this post about my CSA, I mentioned that mustard greens was the most difficult ingredient I had received. Mustard greens are rather bitter, and some people love the flavor. For me, I wanted that bitter horseradish-y flavor to be something subtle within a dish. I attempted some mustard green lo mein that didn’t work out, and some mustard greens salad, which was way to much for me! This mustard greens and smoked trout rice bowl was exactly what I was looking for! Continue reading →

Lentil Pecan Tacos

Posted on July 8, 2016 | Leave a comment

Tacos are by far one of the most awesome foods out there. No, seriously. They can be prepared in so many ways, and for so many diet preferences. Plus, they are delicious! In my avocado tostadas post I raved about tacos, and compared tostadas to the awesomeness of a taco. I love tacos so much that I have a taco pizza recipe, and a taco stuffed shells recipe. This lentil pecan tacos recipe is a traditional taco recipe, made to mimic what meat-eaters call a classic taco. Continue reading →

Garlic Scape Sandwich Spread

Posted on July 5, 2016 | Leave a comment

After I signed up for my CSA, I was excited for weeks to pick up my first bag of produce. Sometimes life can get a little crazy around here, however. When the day came for my first pickup, I was at the mechanic and totally blew it off. The kind folks that run the CSA called and told me I could pick it up at the farmers market that evening. But as life goes, the market got rained out and they weren’t there when I got there. Continue reading →

For a while, my family and I were hooked on my fish tacos recipe. We would eat them every week. I always had red cabbage in the fridge to top them with zesty slaw. We are not tired of the fish tacos yet, but it is good to switch things up sometimes. These black bean tacos with garlic red cabbage slaw are a regular in our rotation now. They are perfect for summer because they don’t take much time to make, which leaves more time for fun! Continue reading →
