Fall Recipe Connection: Savory Greek Sausage Stuffed Autumn Squash

November 4th, 2011 · 30 Comments · Recipes

I was thinking about a sausage-stuffed squash recipe for a few weeks. Twitter wouldn’t cough one up for me, and I never got around to a good Google search (or Swagbucks search, actually), so finally I just decided to make one up. It’s rare that I start from square one on a recipe; usually my [...]

Whole Foods for the Holidays: Tuscan Beef and Bean Stew {Main Course}

November 16th, 2010 · 13 Comments · Recipes

I know it’s pretty standard to serve a big old hunk of meat as the main course if you’re hosting a holiday dinner, and I admit the last time we hosted Christmas Day dinner at our house, we served a grocery store ham. I’m not sure if I could do that in good conscience anymore, [...]

Recipe Connection: Slow Cooker Lentil Brown Rice Casserole

October 14th, 2010 · 24 Comments · Recipes

The first time I made this parent recipe, it was a total disaster. The rice and lentils didn’t get cooked, and I had to decide between crunchy rice or a very, very late dinner. We ended up with both, as I baked the dish twice as long as it called for and still had underdone [...]

In-Season Recipe Connection: Grilled Pizza (Sourdough Option)

September 7th, 2010 · 9 Comments · Recipes

A confession: Although “Fire!” was my first thought, “I should take a picture,” was a close second, just slightly preceding, “Put it out!” But don’t let that scare you. There are still a few weeks left of grilling season, in my opinion, and if you’ve never grilled a pizza – let me tell you – [...]

In-Season Recipe Connection: Sausage, Kale and Bean Soup

August 24th, 2010 · 7 Comments · Recipes

I just can’t stop making soup, even when it’s ninety degrees outside. You may think of soup as purely a winter thing, but with all the fresh produce coming into my house (from the Farmer’s Market…remember, the organic gardening series were all guest posts!) I can’t help but make some of my favorites. This soup [...]

In-Season Recipe Connection: Mexican Stuffed Peppers

August 17th, 2010 · 24 Comments · Recipes

Are you tempted by the lovely basket of peppers at the Farmer’s Market but not quite sure how to deal with so many all at once? Since most recipes seem to call for one pepper at a time, you either have to preserve the peppers by freezing or dehydrating, or find a great stuffed pepper [...]

Recipe Connection: Grassfed Beef Burgundy

June 1st, 2010 · 17 Comments · Recipes

Is “grassfed” a sort of status symbol when stamped on a recipe? You betcha. You can make just about any recipe, especially one that cooks the meat for a long time and in liquid, with either grassfed or conventionally raised beef. It makes the recipe title sound fancy, though, doesn’t it? UPDATE: A commenter pointed [...]
