Vanilla Lemon Layer Cake with Strawberry Tarragon Jam
Finally! We are finding a groove in our new kitchen. Rocking and rolling along, it seems hard to believe that we started all of it at our kitchen table. The BEST thing about having my home kitchen back is that I no longer run the risk for pepper contamination. I have a pepper problem, an …

Tostones. Fried Green Plantains
Last week I walked into the grocery store and was met with a huge bin of plantains. I literally stopped in my tracks because I rarely see plantains in the markets around northern New England, let alone a whole bin heaping with fruit. They were all on sale for only 15 cents a piece! I …

Tweeked for winters’ offerings, this grain salad features nutty wild rice harvested in Canada, locally grown spinach, and my own butternut squash. When blended together, rustic grains and veggies make a nutrient packed satisfying dish that is hearty, not heavy. I …
