I absolutely love strawberry season in Upstate New York. Most of the time, I just eat them plain. They’re so incredibly delicious! A perfect balance of sweet and tart. If I’m going across the river (a half-hour drive each way) to get them, I always buy extra because I know they won’t all make it home. …

Apple-Barley Chickpea Curry
Colorful, delicious curry! I started developing this easy recipe several years ago. I recall making it several times, adjusting the seasonings and refining the instructions, but never being quite satisfied. It went on the back burner, so to speak, for a few years. Long enough ago that I can’t remember what put the idea in…
Fresh Ginger-Orange Chutney
A tiny bit tart, a hint of sweetness, and a playful nip of ginger. This bright chutney is the perfect accompaniment for Apple-Barley Chickpea Curry. You can serve it immediately, but you’ll enjoy it even more if you make it a day or two ahead of time. I don’t remember where I got these cute…
Three-Bean Chili For A Crowd (Slow Cooker)
Nothing beats a hot bowl of chili on a blustery winter day. Plenty of things are tied, mind you, such as Homemade Hot Cocoa, French Honey Bread, and Beef Stew. But did you ever notice that chili is just as delicious in hot weather? There’s something about spicy food that makes you feel warmer in the winter and…
Roasted Broccoli & Cauliflower Parmesan
This is so incredibly delicious, it could be the main course! And on top of that, it’s both easy and healthy. I looked at the pile of broccoli and cauliflower as I was putting everything together, and thought it looked like plenty for six people. Wrong! We had five for dinner that night, but I think…
Cilantro-Mint Pesto
Too many fresh herbs is a wonderful problem to have. It seems I finally rid my Aerogarden of aphids (knock on wood), and now my cilantro is growing wild. My mint is beginning to emerge from the ground, and it looks like it may have more than doubled in size since last year. I’m really…
Pork Tenderloin Goulash
It’s been a cool, damp spring this year. Ordinarily, by early June I’m thinking about summery foods, grilling, fresh veggies, that sort of thing. Instead, I’m thinking about stews, crockpots, and hot cocoa. Fortunately, I have most of my vegetable plants in the dirt already, so we’ve at least had a couple of good tossed salads. It will be a bit…
Jamaican Jerk Pork Tenderloin
Someone asked me once if I ever get bored with pork tenderloin. I’ll admit, I do use it a lot. A single tenderloin is just the right size for two people and if it’s a large one, there might even be some leftovers for lunch. It’s incredibly versatile, and its leanness makes it a healthier…
