Our recent CSA share included a bunch of radishes (which were nice and spicy) and I wanted to do more than just slice them up for a salad. I came across a recipe for sauteing them along with some chicken, and serving with tarragon and mustard that gave me some ideas to start playing a … Continue reading Chicken and Radishes with Mushroom Tarragon Sauce

Grilled Turnips & Asparagus
In our first CSA basket of the season, we had a nice bunch of turnips (among other things). We creamed the greens with some coconut milk and cider vinegar, but I wasn't sure what exactly to do with the turnips themselves (since I'd never actually had one before). I decided to give them a simple … Continue reading Grilled Turnips & Asparagus
Herb & Vinegar Pork Chops
I've been playing a little bit with "wet rubs" lately when prepping meat for the grill - the recent balsamic sirloin tip roast is an example. The combination of vinegar and oil, along with a variety of herbs, is a great way to add flavor to a cut of meat without spending a long time … Continue reading Herb & Vinegar Pork Chops

Pistachio Pesto
Traditional pesto combines copious amounts of basil with garlic, olive oil, pine nuts, and Parmesan or similar hard cheese. We've long been fans of pesto, although we'll usually eliminate the cheese and add a squeeze of lemon. This recipe takes the basic pesto and transforms it even further - substituting pistachios for the pine nuts … Continue reading Pistachio Pesto

Sweet Poblano Mole
Traditional mole recipes often have 20 or more different ingredients, and may require days to be prepared by hand. Nearly every family in many regions of Mexico have their own special recipe - some of which are closely guarded and handed down through the generations only to other family members. Preparation of these special and laborious … Continue reading Sweet Poblano Mole

Cream of Chicken Stew
I will warn you now: this recipe uses a little bit of dairy - heavy cream to be exact. So, if you are avoiding dairy, you'll want to substitute (coconut milk would certainly do nicely). Outside of that, this is a simple and easy recipe that can be cooked up in about 45 minutes and … Continue reading Cream of Chicken Stew
