My Comment: I seem to be having a bit of a time management problem these days – and our diet has suffered. The change of the calendar to October is hopefully going to provide some inspiration to reconnect with the important…

Adapted from Moosewood Collective. Simple suppers: Fresh ideas for the weeknight table. (2005). New York: Clarkson Potter. p. 167. My Comment: I know, I know…. not strictly vegetarian.

Adapted from: Moosewood Collective. Simple suppers: fresh ideas for the weeknight table. (2005). New York: Clarkson Potter. p 108. My Comment: This is one of my favorite parts of the summer – when all the tomatoes ripen at the same time 🙂 Not only do I have some heirloom tomatoes growing in my own garden, but…

Adapted from Meatless Monday: Zucchini Tomato Curry. Downloaded from the web on 08/16/2011. My Comment: Although this recipe filled our house with the delicious fragrance of cumin, coriander and ginger, the finished product – in my humble opinion – needs a tweak or two.

Adrien & I have different views of eggplant: I would…

My Comment: This recipe was originally part of an article about cooking for one; sometimes I think cooking for just two is equally challenging. It was easy to double – being a teacher I know my times tables…

Adapted from: Riccardi, V. “20 ways to grill fruits and veggies.” Vegetarian Times. (Vol. 37, No. 6) July/August 2011. p 66. My Comment: It’s been actually hot here — not hot by New England standards, but H-O-T; and even though I like it that way, I don’t enjoy heating up the kitchen and then living with…

Adapted from Oliver, J. Bread and Tomato Soup. Downloaded from the web on 24 June 2011. My Comment: While it is still too early for farmer’s market tomatoes here in New England, there are still good sources available for fresh and canned tomatoes to use in this recipe. Besides, I had some bread to use…

Adapted from The Pod. World Peas CSA, project of New Entry Sustainable Farming Project. (June 16, 2011). My Comment: This is the second year that Adrien and I have belonged to a local CSA, World Peas. What a wonderful idea behind the CSA — new farmers are mentored and supported while they learn how to plan,…
