Mashed Red Potatoes

Eating the Rainbow: Vegetable Garden Update
I tell everyone that I plant vegetables in unusual colors for my kids. I say that “kids like eating colorful food. It makes meal times more fun…” But I also tell people that I am reading the Percy Jackson books so I can discuss them with my children. And I tell people that I watchRead More
Oatmeal and Cottage Cheese Pancakes
This morning I discovered day old cottage cheese and a little bit of milk that was 2 days past its sell-by date. I don’t know how either of them were overlooked. They both passed the sniff check. Then I was brave and did the taste test and again they both passed. So I decided toRead More
Easy Gluten-Free Sandwich Thins
This idea was inspired by the Bread Slabs in Cooking for Isaiah. Nardone used her basic pizza recipe to make thin bread slabs for sandwiches. I used my basic pizza recipe and shaped the dough into rough circles, so my kids can use them in place of hamburger buns. Ingredients: 1 1/4 cup brown riceRead More

Repurposing a Drink Bucket
I know you are thinking that I am going to share a creative way to use your drink bucket as a planter. I’m not. I like pretty things, especially flowers, but I am more of a function before form type of person. Below are a couple of practical ways that I repurpose my bucket when weRead More
Batch Broiling and Pasta Salad Recipe
Now that our weather is cooling off, I can resume batch broiling boneless, skinless chicken breasts.

But the thing I love mostRead More

Grinding Coriander (Cilantro Seeds)
Last week, I shared how I dry my herbs in a bag. One of the advantage to drying herbs this way is that I can easily dry and collect cilantro seeds and use them to make coriander. When I grind coriander, I only do about 1 tablespoon of seeds at a time. Coriander is mostRead More
Menu Plan – Week of August 30th
This week my primary goal is to use up as many vegetables from my garden as possible. My second goal is to create enough food that my husband and oldest son will not starve when I go out of town this weekend with the other kids. Instead of planning my meals so that leftovers canRead More
Green Beans with Garlic
The green beans have only come in dribs and drabs for most of the summer. However, I am finally harvesting them fast enough to serve green beans as a side dish, rather than merely using them as an ingredient in soup. I prefer to eat my veggies with just enough seasoning to highlight their naturalRead More
My 3 Year Old’s Flower Garden

Roasted Eggplant Hummus
When I was at Trader Joe’s last week I noticed that they sold eggplant hummus. I just happened to have excess eggplant from my garden and this seemed like a delicious way to use it up. I picked up some tahini sauce and decided to try my hand at making homemade roasted eggplant hummus. I placedRead More
Book Review: Cooking for Isaiah
After learning of her son’s intolerance to gluten and dairy, Silvana Nardone set out to “blur the lines between gluten-free and gluten-full”.

Extending Your Growing Season with a Container Garden
Container gardens are not just for apartment dwellers! Even though I live on several acres and have a nice sized garden, I have a container garden.
