Meat and Bean Chili
I think I’m enjoying the winter CSA I joined even more than I enjoyed the summer/fall CSA. Both are great, but the winter version includes such items as locally raised meats, cheeses, milk, and even root beer in addition to the late harvest/cold storage fruits and veggies. Our most recent share included a pound of ground goat meat. If you’ve never had goat, it’s similar to but gamier than lamb. It can replace beef in just about any dish, and it stands up particularly well in spicier recipes.

Winter Squash Soup
This is a great soup to enjoy in the fall or winter. It’s fragrant, smooth and just creamy enough to satisfy without seeming too heavy. As with a good tomato soup, I can think of no better accompaniment than a grilled cheese sandwich.
Summer Vegetable Stew
I’ve had this recipe, or some variation of it, in my collection for I don’t know how long. I’m not even sure where the original came from. What I do know is that it’s one of my husband’s favorite ways to eat vegetables. Since he thinks vegetables are an “optional” part of any meal, I do what I can to get him excited about them. While I was making this yesterday, my husband said the aroma took him back to his Italian grandmother’s kitchen. Simple foods from the earth, probably grown in their very own garden.

Frozen Chicken Stock Beats Canned in Flavor and Convenience
I use chicken stock quite often when I cook. Whether I’m making soup, flavoring rice or potatoes, or braising vegetables, I always like to have some handy. I rarely seem to need an entire can of it, though, and it only keeps a few days once it’s opened. When I started making baby food for my daughter, I got into the habit of keeping home made chicken stock on hand. It was the only way I could be sure it didn’t contain too much sodium for her little kidneys to process. Not only do you benefit from knowing exactly what’s … Continue reading

Crock Pot Split Pea Soup
I lost a dear friend this past weekend. After many good years together, my electric range went on to that big kitchen in the sky. My mourning period quickly ended when I realized I now had excuse to buy the gas range I’d been wanting. Yay! Of course I’m still without a stove until the replacement arrives and gets installed. Between the grill, the crock pot, the rice cooker and the electric wok, I think I’ll pull through. I decided I’d finally use that hambone that’s been taking up space in my freezer since Easter. This recipe is based on … Continue reading
