As I type this, my yard is overflowing with dark green leafy vegetables; they are literally taking over our tiny property. So what’s a girl with a garden to do? Every morning I go outside, bowl and scissors in hand, and harvest greens. I braise the greens with a bit of garlic and red pepper

In my opinion nature’s bounty of beautiful, nutritious vegetables is completely underrated. And beets are a perfect example of this.

Carrot French Fries
Posted on October 18, 2010
My boys love these carrot fries hot out of the oven. I like baking them as it eliminates the messy splattering that results from the typical preparation of French fries –frying. Speaking of messes, I feel like I’m cleaning up a lot of them these days. Writing a book this summer really threw me for

Broccoli Rabe with Garlic
Posted on July 19, 2010
I confess, I have an addiction to broccoli rabe. I love the bitter flavor of this delicious green vegetable. I have always believed that bitter is such an important, yet under rated flavor in our culture. I think a lot of people drink coffee for the bitter flavor that we all need so badly. My

Squash Fries
Posted on December 12, 2008
The other day, I noticed that I had 2 butternut squash sitting in my kitchen, waiting to be cooked. The first I turned into butternut squash soup. I wanted to be a bit more creative with the second one, so I figured I’d make fries out of them. The boys must have eaten an entire

I’ve been laying low since Thanksgiving, cleaning my house with abandon, giving away everything the boys and I don’t use. That said, in between sorting stuff and testing desserts for the upcoming holidays, I’ve been relying on some staple seasonal vegetable dishes to take me through the dark season. This is an easy, family favorite.
