Babies! Vegetable babies, that is. Oh, I have human babies on my mind, too, that’s for sure. It’s the Year Of The Coronavirus (or the first year of it, anyway), and I miss my grandbabies! I want to hold them and hug them and play with them, and…but I digress. Today I’m looking at babies…

Sautéed Baby Radish Greens With Onions & Basil
Radishes are one of my favorite things to grow in the garden. I always scatter the seeds rather than try to plant them individually in rows. It’s faster and uses space more efficiently. Once they sprout, you can start to thin them by gently pulling up the ones that are crowded. Sometimes I’m really good…
Chicken and Dumplings – Slow Cooker
Who doesn’t want comfort food these days? Nobody, that’s who. What if I told you you could have serious comfort food for dinner, budget-friendly, with more than 90% of the work done by early afternoon, AND have it be healthy? It’s hard to eat healthy in trying times. I find myself leaning more toward comfort…

I lived near a decent-sized city, but there was precious little food variety available. Not that I knew of, anyway. Well, there was a fancy Indonesian restaurant where I once…
Cuban-style Pork Tenderloin with Beans and Rice
I never got to the store that day. I had no plan for dinner, and no energy to even think about it. I’d spent part of the day trying to can beans, but my pressure canner was on the fritz. That left me with several jars of cooked beans that hadn’t been properly processed, so…
Crunchy Black Lentil Salad
My new favorite lentil dish! It’s delicious, easy, and healthy. Versatile, too — serve it as a side or as a vegetarian main dish. You can even make it vegan by just eliminating the cheese. It’s been a few years since I started observing Meatless Monday. Back in the day, we used to eat beef…
Grilled Asparagus
I owe my kids an apology. Well, the two younger ones anyway, who never learned to like asparagus. See, I grew up eating asparagus steamed. Plain. I loved it that way, but in retrospect, I realize that’s pretty much the way my mom cooked nearly all vegetables, and not necessarily because it was the best…
