Beets are another acquired taste – for me, anyway. We used to have them at Christmas, and I hated having to eat my “no, thank you” helping (a phrase I learned at Camp Onanda – Stand Up, and Cheer!…). When I started vegetable gardening in earnest, I decided to grow vegetables I thought I didn’t…

Gazpacho de Julia
Let me start out right away by telling you that this is not Andalusian Gazpacho, which includes bread in the recipe and is more of a puree. It’s my version of Mexican Gazpacho, with no attempt whatsoever to remain “authentic.” Okay, if you must know the truth, I used to make loads of salsa fresca….
Planked Swordfish with Blueberry Jazz
On my way home from PT, I thought I’d stop to see if Gade had any dill plants left. Mine bolted, & I neglected to buy seed. While there, I found – yay! – they also had fresh sweet corn & blueberries! And some Oscar’s smoked cheese, but that’s for tomorrow. And, lucky me, Fin fishmonger is just a bit further…
Smoky Grilled Rosemary-Balsamic Chicken With Green Beans & Kamut
Sublime! The smoky flavors of the plank & cheese meld perfectly with the rosemary and balsamic. It does require a little advance prep, but it’s so worth it! Ten to fifteen minutes to whip up the marinade in the morning, and an hour to cook the kamut before dinner. While it’s cooking, there’s plenty…
Black Bean Veggie Spuds
It was Monday. We got home that Sunday night from a trip – well, when I say “Sunday night” I mean really early Monday morning. I think I fell asleep around 01:30, & got up at 06:00. Did I feel like cooking dinner? Not really. Did I feel like I needed to eat healthy? Oh,…

Ingredients: 1 pound scallops 2 Tbsp olive oil, divided 1 Tbsp lower-sodium soy sauce 1 cup green beans, broken or cut into 1″ pieces 1 navel orange 2 lemons 2 limes freshly ground black pepper 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro 1/2…
Strawberry Mojito Salad
This salad is amazing! I’m saying it serves 4, but the truth is that the 2 of us ate every last bit. The predominant flavor is strawberry, but with just enough other flavors to make this a side dish rather than a dessert. It all blends quite nicely, and is not at all spicy…
Spicy Ginger Miso Chicken Thighs
This delicious chicken dish is quick and easy, but it tastes like you spent a lot of time and effort on it. I cut out a couple of steps to make it even simpler. Once you’ve minced the ginger and garlic, it’s just stirring and baking! I like to serve it with Spelt-Butterbean Salad. You’ll find…
