The colors of fall are beginning to fade here in VT. It is past time that I begin to put my garden to bed but I still have veggies to harvest. It has been a big month for little jelly and finding the time to spend more than 20 minutes in the garden can be …
Braised mushrooms create a rustic sauce for hearty ricotta gnocchi. This earthy plate is rich, comforting and best served with a glass of bold wine. What makes this dish truly special is the combination of mushrooms prepared in different manners. The minced bits will melt down creating a thick base while the sliced mushrooms (especially …
My garden is over grown and I no longer care. I can still wade through it and find some things growing. I even think I see brussels sprouts starting to rise over the weeds. They are tucked to the back of the garden and I have a hard time getting in there to confirm the …
In the days that I have been injured & off my feet, my garden has been pushing out the tomatoes. Since I cannot wade into the over growth myself (have to keep my bandages clean and dry!) when friends come by to visit I ask one favor of them, “Could you bring in any tomatoes …

Those little babies belong to me. I have a weakness for potatoes in any form: red, white, blue, mashed, baked, or boiled. Lucky …
As you may be aware, I am eating an anti-inflammatory diet to help answer a few health questions. The bulk of my diet, aside from a nummy smoothie, has been greens and sprouted grains. In order to make life easier on myself, I end the weekend by prepping food. This is as easy as unloading …
Nut’ n Berry Smoothie. AKA: allergy free protein smoothie. Tall-Dark and Handsome calls it the Ugly Berry Smoothie. Remember when I lost my taste buds? I am still troubled by it. Some of the lingering effects of my condition include constant itchiness and the inability to eat anything remotely spicy (a tragedy!). In an effort …
