Rising to the Occasion

A few years ago I was bit by the bread-baking bug. While I own several stellar bread-focused cookbooks, I can't help myself from pouring over every new release--always searching for ways to improve my technique, or for unique bread...

Tasty Bites for Spring

Even before the change to daylight savings time had us "spring forward", this year was simply flying by.   Somehow, though, I always find time to relax in the kitchen...

What’s in your garden?

ImageSpring is here and my garden, or at least much of it, is in.  I’m trying out a couple of new things this year and a bunch of favorites… Here's what I'm growing. What are you growing?

My new additions:

  • Cherry Tomatoes: I have a mild addiction to these lately as a raw, mid-day, munching snack and can’t wait for my own to appear. 
  • Yellow Crookneck Squash:  I had some of this from the farmer’s market last year that were a bit sweeter than zucchini – we’ll see how mine turn out.
  • Acorn and Hubbard Winter Squash: Each year I’ve been trying different varieties.  The Hubbard, at ~4lb a squash, is a miniature! (Full size can be 10-15 pounds each…). 
  • Edamame: These are for Husband but if they do well I could be converted…
  • Jalapeños: I have bad luck with peppers but I’m giving them a try.  They won’t go in the ground until late May or early June when it should be plenty warm for them. 
As for the yearly favorites I’m growing:

Roma tomatoes for ketchup and pasta sauce along with fantastic beef steak tomatoes for eating.

Zucchini, if for no other reason than to make Ginger-Zucchini Cupcakes for my friend Athena. 

Cucumbers, green beans, peppers, eggplant and the fall planted garlic and onions….

What are you growing?
