Last year, it seemed liked Christina and I had beets coming out our ears compliments of our CSA box. This year, it’s butternut squash…ah, the joys of seasonal eating! Fortunately, butternut squash is super versatile and works in a number of recipes. I especially enjoy a bowl of piping hot butternut squash soup. To enhance [...]

I think this soup must have humble origins because it cost like $4 to put together! Aside from Top Ramen, it’s also one of the quickest soups I’ve ever made – a great weeknight meal!
4 cups of chicken broth
2 eggs
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan-Reggiano
1 cup of spinach, roughly copped
pinch of nutmeg
salt and pepper
Heat broth in a [...]

When I’m home alone I become an almost full-time vegetarian and serial soup eater, the less pots to clean the better. Plus, it’s more fun having another person in the house that can comment on my meals (oohs and aahs are the only acceptable form). So Kele’s recent arrival home from a two-week work stint [...]

There’s no easier way to get rid of a bunch wilting winter vegetables than by dumping them into a pot of simmering broth. And that is exactly what I did with my half head of cabbage, two lonely sweet potatoes, and handful of button mushrooms. The only thing I bought for the soup was spinach.
Inspired [...]

I don’t know about the rest of the country, but it’s fall in San Francisco (i.e. it rained over the weekend!). Yet, I’m still getting tomatoes and other late-summer produce in my CSA box. Fortunately, this recipe is the perfect segway into fall; it uses some of summer’s last gifts and isn’t heavy like many [...]

Each Sunday that I visit my neighborhood farmers market, I say a little prayer of thanks that it is summer. There is nothing better than walking up and down the market and seeing overflowing mounds of yellow corn, heirloom tomatoes, stone fruit, and summer squash. During these months, summer squash becomes a kitchen staple. I [...]

The market is exploding with spring peas right now. Feast on all of the gorgeous green bounty, the vibrant colors popping out from the different booths shout that Spring has arrived! Due to our apartment being torn apart in preparation of packing, I wasn’t sure I’d have time to delve into the sometimes laborious task [...]

Celery root, I deem you ugliest vegetable in the plant kingdom (with rutabaga coming in close second). With it’s gnarled, lumpy brown skin and tangled root ends, it’s easy to pass by a celery root at the farmer’s market or grocery store and not think twice. But, as they say, never judge a book by [...]

If you are a fellow CSA member or someone who sticks to eating seasonally, I’m sure you are intimately familiar with our winter friend…the butternut squash. The great thing about these hardy guys is that they last a really long time and don’t need to be refrigerated, the bad news is that they seem to [...]

Well, the first time I attempted Potato Leek soup, I ended up with a gelatinous pot of grey slurry that tasted like watered down mashed potatoes. Yum! In hindsight, my biggest mistake was not peeling the potatoes (hence the lovely grey hue). My second mistake was not including any flavor boosters, like herbs, wine and garlic. [...]
