Doesn’t this look pretty? I wasn’t even planning to blog about this side dish, but then I saw how elegant the rosemary looked draped across these taters and I had to grab my camera!
I get little baby potatoes sporadically in my CSA box, including these baby red potatoes. I just sliced them, tossed them with [...]

I LOVE lasagna — it’s my ultimate comfort food – and just one night of cooking results in numerous yummy, weekday meals. Oh, and it freezes beautifully so you if you are cooking for less than say, a football team, you can cut your cooked lasagna into individual portions and freeze them for grab-n-go lunches [...]

I’ll never forget the four-cheese stuffed squash blossoms I devoured at Town Hall five years ago. That appetizer is seared in my brain as the perfect summer dish and, until last week, I’ve always been too intimidated to try making my own. But I couldn’t pass up the “5 for a $1.00″ deal at the [...]

While I haven’t even made a dent in terms of trying all the recipes, I’ve found time to make her delicious oat cakes on several occasions. In case you haven’t noticed, we’re a little nutso for oats here at Farm & a Frying Pan [...]

Last week, I faced the same dilemma yet again [...]

Just when I thought there was no reprieve from the crazy rain, fog and cold wind whipping around San Francisco, I got a little slice of Summer heaven in the form of a radish. Watermelon radishes are very deceiving from the outside; they’re pale, knobby, and ugly just like a turnip. But then you slice [...]

My latest reading adventure involved exploring the fascinating food history in New York in Appetite City. Written by the New York Times’ ex-restaurant critic William Grimes, the book begins in the era of chophouses and oyster bars (early 1800s) then maps the city’s culinary evolution, ending with current day culinary powerhouses including Danny Meyer and [...]

This is a love letter to the New York Time’s Martha Rose, who wrote this amazing recipe for Beet Greens and Potato Hash.
Dear Martha,
I just want to thank you for coming up with such a clever and delicious recipe – that’s easy to boot! I say “clever” because you found a way to incorporate [...]

We took on Sodium Girl’s challenge to create dishes that are good for the heart. Now granted, dessert isn’t necessarily the best thing for your health, but if you are going to splurg (and who doesn’t??) then at least choose something that isn’t loaded with transfats, artificial flavors and additives, or salt. Plus, lots of [...]
