A Taste of Fresh Beets
I love beets. They are one of those vegetables that you can toss with a glaze or chop into a salad. But they don’t require special preparations to be great. They can also shine alone with just a sprinkle of sea salt. When steamed or boiled just right, where they still have a bit of [...]
Fresh From the Farm: My Big Fat CSA Haul
I was absolutely blown away by my overflowing CSA box this week. So much great stuff to use! The heirloom tomato, grape tomatoes and a red tomato went into a tomato and blue cheese salad (more on that later this week). Another tomato went into a summertime favorite for the kids and I: lemony tomato [...]
Oh, Sunny Day
Oh, what a mess. A huge, giant mess. It seemed like such a great idea: Go get ice creams, stroll home, collapse on the lawn and finish them. Except Will’s ice cream had other ideas. It melted like instantly. Did I get upset? Nah. Why worry? THe stroller can be cleaned. So can Will. Instead, [...]
Fresh From the Farm: CSA Week 1
We had our feet in the surf the other day, Will, Paige, my brother and sister and I. As waves would come, we’d all leap into the air. I supported Paige, who is just learning to stand, with my hands while we jumped up and down. Each time, she’d let out a gleeful cackling laugh. [...]

Gross Miscalculation
To say we were sweating bullets when we got home from the farmer’s market last Sunday couldn’t be more accurate. It was sweltering. And when it’s that hot, Will doesn’t like to eat (can you blame him?!?). So, remembering a recent article by Cate O’Malley for 3-A-Day, I whipped up a fruit and yogurt “sundae”. [...]
Peas in a Pod
I was going to write a post about all the things that happened last week while I was on vacation from work. While funny, some memories should be just ours though . . . so I won’t. Suffice it to say that Will, Paige and I had a good time and were happy that Shawn [...]
