Grilled Flank Steak with Wilted Oriental Lettuce in a Ginger, Garlic, Soy Sauce
Last week I got a pound of oriental lettuce from the co-op. I had never heard of it, and had no idea what to expect. When I picked it up, I took a leaf and ate it, right out of the bag and really wasn’t sure that I wanted to eat a salad made of… [Continue Reading]
Sautéed Chicken Breast with a Fresh Tomato and Artichoke Heart Sauce
I picked up 3 lbs. of farm fresh tomatoes today and when I got home, I realized that i still had four of them left from last week. I knew I needed to use them so I decided to make a fresh tomato sauce. I happened to have 2 boxes of frozen artichoke hearts, so… [Continue Reading]
Humility, Patience, Photography and Sewing
I consider myself a fairly competent woman. When I decide I want to do, or learn something, it’s usually not hard for me to accomplish. Lately however, there have been two things that are giving me a little bit of trouble; photography and sewing. Don’t get me wrong – I know how to use the… [Continue Reading]
Mustard Roasted Snapper and Oven Roasted Broccoli Greens
So, I went to get my fish for the weekend and my eggs and my co-op share and I wanted to make something like this recipe for mustard roasted fish from Ina Garten, but I also had broccoli greens and I really didn’t know what I wanted to do with them. I searched for some ideas… [Continue Reading]
Beef and Black Bean Stew on a Bed of Roasted Cauliflower
We got our first order of grass fed, hormone free, pasture raised beef and I was so excited, but a little bit nervous about getting my family used to the difference in taste. When you grow up eating one thing, sometimes the thing that’s better for you is a bit of an acquired taste. I did find… [Continue Reading]
Seared Scallops over Penne with Garlic, Parsley and Lemon
Since we actually committed to getting three fish meals in a week (at home!), it hasn’t been as difficult as I thought. The fish market is very near to where Haley has guitar lessons on Tuesday and almost directly next door to my CSA pick up location on Thursday – so I get whatever they’ve… [Continue Reading]
Homosassa Springs Field Trip
One of my favorite places on the planet, Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park is just a wonderful way to spend the day. The kids and I have gone there many times over the years and there’s always something new and interesting. There weren’t many manatee to photograph this time, but we spent a lot of… [Continue Reading]
Steelhead Trout with Lemon Butter Sauce with Capers and Garlic
In our effort to get more fish into our diets, we have obviously needed to broaden our horizons as far as types of fish that I cook. We’ll eat anything, but I don’t know how to cook it best… yet. So today when I went to our local fish market – I saw what I… [Continue Reading]
I Could Show You My Favorite Obsession
So back in the beginning of January, I talked a bit about the things I was looking to change, create, or get rid, of in my post about my resolutions. One of the first things I did was go see the doctor and I’m mostly on track with that – I may have had a bad… [Continue Reading]
Eggs with Cheese, Chorizo, Peppers, Onion and Spinach
This is the kind of thing that I imagine eating around a campfire, cooked in an iron skillet with a bunch of cowboys after a particularly grueling round up. You don’t? Just me then? Well, ok. I have mentioned before that we love a good Breakfast for Dinner every once in a while and this… [Continue Reading]
