With the arrival of September comes the resurgence of my love for all things sweet potato. Perhaps it is because sweet potatoes fit so nicely with Autumn’s color palette, or the fact that they are generally full of warm spices and happiness. Either way, I love them (particularly in the form of fries). As I…
summer salsa.
I know it’s not quite summer yet. And I know I’m currently curled up under a blanket, wishing these gray skies would turn blue, and seriously contemplating turning the heat on again. But if you close your eyes, turn on some summer jams, and eat this salsa, it’s pretty close to the real deal. This…
veggie tater tots.
I needed some veggies today. It could be because I’ve been eating pizza every night since making an enormous batch on Sunday. And while I did put a few veggies on that pizza (I can call broccoli a topping when Eric’s gone), I wanted something different. I had a sweet potato, kale, and a few…
watermelon salad.
I’ll be honest with you here and say that I spent the majority of my life not enjoying watermelon. I know, right? What’s that all about? One magical day last summer, I ate an incredible cube of watermelon and my life has never been the same. It’s just so good. How on earth was I…
maple-mustard corn with bacon.
As you know, we get a lot of veggies from our CSA every two weeks. The most recent basket gave us sweet corn, carrots, and green bell peppers. So we made a meal out of it! I sliced up some carrots, grape tomatoes, and green bell peppers. Then I stirred them in with some EVOO…
roasted beets with feta.
Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica. We picked up some beets in our CSA basket last week, and I had no idea what to do with them. In my mind, beets are some disgusting vegetable similar to a potato. I don’t know why I thought this, but aside from my Dwight Schrute quote repertoire, I’ve never had…
black bean and corn salsa.
This is my first post as a college graduate. Okay, so I haven’t technically graduated yet (that happens on Sunday), but I am finished with college. No more climbing the four flights of stairs to my 8 a.m. class. No more risking my life to cross Cooper Drive because the pedway is under construction. No…
cinnamon acorn squash.
In our never-ending pursuit to eat in season, Eric and I have turned to squash, the quintessential winter vegetable. We’ve tried several varieties, but apparently we are just not squash people. I don’t know if it’s the texture or the unappetizing name (‘squash’ sounds a bit like something you’d find on the side of the…
