I am sure most of you have heard of ComicCon. A convention where adults (and children) dress up in costume and do whatever they do there. I have never been to a ComicCon and have no desire to go get my “Geek on” there but, a couple weeks ago I […]

Preserved Lemons
Preserved lemons is something I’ve been wanting to do for a while. It’s a staple in Moroccan cuisine, and, really, it just appeals to me. I’ve added some ideas for how to use them once you’ve made them at the end of this post.
Lemony Marinated Pork Tenderloin
I’m still working my way through lemons. Everything has to happen in the morning around here, because the afternoon is reserved for family and school. Which means – hello, I NEED a plan. Bobby Flay to the rescue. Well, kinda. It’s really rare that I follow anyone’s recipe exactly. Even […]
Crema de Limone, Limoncello, Bacio del Limone, & Maccheroni all’Agro
Recently we had the opportunity to contribute for a case of lemons. This made me very happy. My only issue (often) is we’re in the last half of the last semester of my son’s senior year of high school – and we are BUSY! (Really – we e-school, so life […]
No Soup For You!
I have been wanting to eat Brussels Sprouts in a soup and I wanted to find a way to have them in without it being the main attention getter. You may not believe me this when I tell you but…Brussels Sprouts have a bad rap. I get it; they are […]

Irish Bell Pepper Eggs
If you slice a bell pepper across the width into 1/2 inch slices, they form a shamrock! I heated eggs in the center of each bell pepper slice and it made a surprising morning breakfast. What a wonderful way to make eggs and vegetables a star for a St. Patrick’s Day […]
How to (Deliciously) Burn Brussel Sprouts
It is only because of bountiful baskets that I discovered my adoration of brussel sprouts. I don’t think I ever tried them before but assumed I wouldn’t like them. They really get a bad rap. However as soon as I roasted them, I was in love.
Stir fry Spaghetti Squash
I love spaghetti squash! It is one of the most versatile vegetables to use for dinner. I like to think of it as a surprise inside the bright yellow outer shell. When baked the inside is filled with hot, steaming strands of yellow squash that are a great substitute for […]
Corn, Jicama, & Green Chile Salsa
After picking up this week’s Basket and before heading to the grocery store for supplements, I sat in my car creating my menu plan for the next two weeks. I wrote meatloaf and turnip mashed potatoes down on my list, thinking I could turn what I thought was a turnip […]
