A happy Independence Day :-) I have some fun socks that I wore today: Breakfast was some delicious duck eggs from the most recent CSA box and some pan fried diced ham. Today was a gorgeous summer day and we enjoyed walking around some and puttering cleaning up around ...

Crockpot Roasted Chicken

Saturday, May 21st, 2011

Potato Crusted Halibut

Sunday, April 10th, 2011

This is another recipe inspired by one at Central Market. The orginal recipe called for packaged pre-shredded potatoes, which would work just fine for a weeknight shortcut, but for a Sunday dinner, I grated my own potato. This would work great with any firm fish like salmon or ...

Zucchini Potato Pancake

Sunday, August 15th, 2010

This was a great way to use up some of the abundance of summer squash and potatoes that I'm getting in my CSA boxes. I used Raven Zucchini (basically your typical zucchini) and yellow potatoes this time, but it would work great with other summer squash and/or russet potatoes ...

Roasted Veggies and Chicken

Dinner tonight was simple. I preheated the oven to 425 degrees, then sprinkled chicken thighs with salt, pepper, thyme, and cayenne and popped them in the oven. I cut up about 1.5 lbs of romanesco summer squash, 1 lb each of broccoli, cauliflower, and yukon gold potatoes, and ...
