Next time I make this I’ll probably drizzle some chocolate ganache and sea salt flakes over the top.

Ridiculously Rich Potato Soup
Keeping on the soup trend, this savory potato concoction is super thick n creamy. Inspired by cold, rainy weather; an abundance of potatoes, onions, herbs, and bacon from CSA shares; and some freshly made chicken and turkey stock from Thanksgiving birds.
French Onion Soup
Soup season is still in effect. Hearty, rich, and flavorful; the perfect combo of caramelized onion sweetness, salty cheese, and a buttery base.
Roasted Heirloom Tomato and Blue Cheese Soup
Inspired by a friend’s post on Facebook, a recipe found online, and an abundance of heirloom tomatoes, onions, and garlic in my Red Fire Farm CSA share.
Two Tone Tavern Tipple
The most popular summer porch drink at the Two Tone Tavern in 2015 has been this simple, refreshing gin cocktail. Good thing we have farty water on tap and fresh mint growing here!
Curry Roasted Cauliflower
A spicy side dish that goes with just about anything. If there’s any left over have it for breakfast topped with a poached egg!
Strawberry Ice Cream
Go strawberry picking. Puree strawberries and add them to simple vanilla ice cream.
Zesty Lemon Ice Cream
Rich and creamy with a zesty, burst-in-your-mouth lemon flavor! Mamocita Ryder served this with a blueberry compote and it was a wicked crowd pleaser.
Vanilla Ice Cream
Plain. Simple. Delicious.
Chili Garlic Chicken and Bok Choy with Coconut Mango Rice
The sweetness of the mango coconut rice tames the strong flavor and spice from the chili garlic sauce.
Asparagus and Roasted Red Pepper Quiche with Spaghetti Squash Crust
I served this for dinner with sauteed kale and onions and little potato pancakes that I threw together from last night’s mashed potato leftovers.
Cardamom Ice Cream
Made with milk and cream from Mapleline Farm and eggs from Hampshire College Farm.
Chile relleno
Leave a reply
A stuffed, roasted, fresh poblano pepper with a flavorful mixture of beef, beans and cheese. We made extras and they were great left over.
Blueberry Balsamic Chicken with Wilted Spinach and Rosemary Roasted Potatoes
Inspired by all the tasty goodies from our Red Fire Farm winter CSA share, especially the plump and juicy blueberries.
Braised Lamb Shoulder Chops
The ideal, hearty recipe for the lamb chops we got in our meat CSA share this month. Served over mashed potatoes, these chops were savory, full of flavor, and satisfying.
Mexican Pizza
A black bean base, zingy pickled jalapeños, roasted tomatoes, what’s not to love about this?!?
Chicken and Cauliflower Casserole
Creamy, cheesy, flavorful & satisfying. This is my new go-to recipe for chicken casserole. No stuffing mixes or condensed cream soups here, no wanna-be cheese either.
Barbacoa Beef
Succulent braised and shredded beef perfect for tacos, enchiladas, salads, or even just to dig into with a fork. Very similar to my favorite carnitas recipe, but with beef instead of pork and some slightly different seasoning.
Saag Paneer
Creamy spinach with chunks of Indian cheese and spices.
Paneer
Indian style cheese. Easy to make at home if you can’t find it in the store.
Apple and White Wine Braised Country Style Pork Ribs
I served these braised beauties on top of pureed cauliflower and collard greens sauteed with shallots.
Fresh Ham Roast with Rosemary, Garlic, and Lemon
My favorite way to roast a fresh ham from the Hettie Belle meat CSA.
Spicy White Beans & Greens
Just a little dab of bacon fat and a parmesan rind really round out this dish. It has a bright finish.
Old Fashioned Milkshake
Blend ice cream, bourbon, and bitters until smooth. Pour into a glass and garnish with luxardo cherry and an orange twist. Enjoy!
Orange Dark Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream
Just a hint of orange creamsicle when this zesty, citrus, rich delight hits your tastebuds with luxurious chunks of dark chocolate.
Buffalo Chicken Thighs with Jasmine Rice and Collard Greens
Spicy. Tangy. Cheesy. Hits the spot when I have a hankering for buffalo chicken!
Celeriac Gratin
A way to turn winter veggie CSA celery root into creamy, cheesy comfort food.
Lentils, Sausage, and Bacon, Oh My!
Served with Napa cabbage sauteed with garlic and chili pepper flakes.
Chorizo Espinaca Ensalada
Such a vibrant salad, both in flavor and color.
Collard Greens Soup
I know it sounds like blasphemy, but we actually had beef short ribs left over. I decided to add them to this lovely Turkish-inspired soup and it was a home run!
Honey Garlic Chicken in the Slow Cooker
This dish is a lovely combination of sweet & salty, with a tiny bit of heat (which can easily be omitted or kicked up). Plus it has the luxury of being mostly ready when you walk in the door from a long day at work.
White Bean Chicken Chili
This is a really lovely meal to make on a cold and snowy day. We had it over rice for dinner, then when we reheated it for lunch the next day we had it without and it was equally as good. Even though it starts with a couple of pieces of bacon, it’s a fairly lean recipe. The Cotija cheese is a bright pop of flavor on top and the cilantro really finishes it.
Primal Shepherd’s Pie
I’ve actually been making this for years, but haven’t posted it here until now. This recipe doesn’t have potatoes or corn, but the creamy cauliflower atop the other veggies mixed in with the meat make for pure comfort food.
Strawberry Balsamic Ice Cream
Serving this with a small lump of gorgonzola cheese and a drizzle of balsamic (and maybe even some pine nuts toasted with salt) would do it perfect justice.
Sweet Potato Chorizo Nachos
So many great flavors all together in one bite! I used chorizo from my Hettie Belle Farm meat CSA and it instantly became a favorite. This makes a hearty appetizer or even main dish.
Spicy Avocado Crema
Creamy avocado blended with onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and lime.
Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Toasted Almond Ice Cream
Because I absolutely love salt with my dark chocolate and nuts!
