When I became a vegetarian several years ago, it forced me to try new foods since I didn’t want to eat the same old veggies day in and day out. About a year ago I added a small bit of fish back into my diet so technically I’m a pescetarian. I try to eat seasonal foods…
Spring has sprung and that means it’s finally asparagus season! I adore this vegetable but didn’t start eating it until I was an adult. My mother never made it. She likes only a few green vegetables … peas, green beans, and iceberg lettuce. Although I have to confess I did get her to eat spinach…
Did you just read the title of this post and think, “What the heck is that?” If not, then you’re a better foodie than me because that’s the reaction I had when I got last week’s food shipment from Blue Apron. I’ve now received 2 shipments of food from them and so far am enjoying…

Each year I like to grow a new vegetable in the garden and this year I chose spaghetti squash. Not only is this squash new to my garden, but it’s also new to my taste buds. Can you believe I’ve never eaten it before? My mother has a very limited palate so growing up as…
When I think of farmhouse kitchens, I think of my grandmother and also Aunt Bee from the Andy Griffith Show. Remember the episode when Aunt Bee and Clara entered the pickle contest and Aunt Bee’s pickles tasted like kerosene? Just like Aunt Bee’s kitchen, my grandmother’s was simple yet comfortable. It’s where all the important…
My daughter and I are celebrating Valentine Veggies this month! Every week this February, Bridget and I will create vegetable dishes and share the recipes with you. So be sure to visit me and my daughter over at Flour N Friends each week for a total of 8 vegetable recipes. Bridget studied Pasty Arts at…
Lately I’ve been playing around with soups made from scratch. In August I started with Heirloom Tomato Basil, and then I moved on to Butternut Squash Carrot Soup (do you see the seasonal trend here?).
