The first thing you’re gonna think when you put this on the table is, “No way that’s for only two people!” Sure, if you want to split it between three people, be my guest. But two of you can lick the plate clean for only 500 calories apiece, and a whopping 21 grams of fiber…

Confetti Slaw
I have always loved spring. There’s something almost magical about watching nature come alive after a long winter. If you look closely, you can see signs already. To the casual observer, this was just another grey, drab winter morning. But there, on the tips of the dogwood branches, are buds. Hundreds of buds. How…
Green Beans With Frizzled Shallots
This bean recipe has it all: It’s delicious, beautiful, and fun to make. It struck me recently just how long I’ve been making this dish for holiday dinners. I remember exactly where I was when I found the recipe. I was in the waiting room at my physical therapist’s office, early for my appointment (as usual),…

I’m fortunate to live in an area with several nearby orchards. Going apple picking is a favorite family and school activity around here, or you can buy your…
Fresh Tomato Sauce
If any vegetable can convince you to start your own garden, it’s the tomato. If blindfolded and given a sample of a homegrown tomato and a greenhouse one, I wouldn’t be surprised if you thought they were completely different vegetables. Of course, you have to live in a climate that tomatoes enjoy. Too hot, cold,…
The Frozen Custard vs. Ice Cream Trial, Part 2: Strawberry Ice Cream
Here’s the second recipe in The Frozen Custard vs. Ice Cream Trial. Click here for Part 1: Strawberry Frozen Custard. They’re both incredibly delicious! You’ll find a printer-friendly version of this recipe, which I’ve adapted (with very little change) from Serious Eats, at the bottom of this page. Ingredients: 30 ounces fresh, local, in-season strawberries, divided (a little…
