For some reason, September always puts me in the mood to bake.  Perhaps it's the crisp autumn air that gives me the urge for comfort carbs.  Or maybe it's the knowledge that I no longer have to wear a bathing suit for the next few months that makes me crave cakes.  Luckily, each week I … Continue reading Muffin Mania!

Happy October everyone!  Normally I tell you all the great things to do in our little city, but this month I am going to suggest you pack up and get out of town! Not getting enough time in the great outdoors?  May I suggest getting in that last chance camping trip.  We've had great luck … Continue reading October Fun! Get out of Town!

After an unplanned 5 weeks in Nashville spending my days at a hospital and eating out at restaurants nearly every day, coming home to our weekly CSA veggies was a real treat!

As part of a CSA, we are lucky that during the CSA season, we don't lack for veggies.  While everyone is running to the store to stock up when a hurricane is heading our way, with a well-stocked pantry, we can just relax at home and know that we'll be okay.  We can eat our … Continue reading Hurricane Recipes

So I'm not really a bachelor. I've been married for nearly a year now (October 16th!), but my wife has been away, caring for a close friend who has been in the hospital (if you saw the note in my last post about Ryan, and are of a mind to pray, please do). In the … Continue reading Weekly Veggies: A “Bachelor’s” Best Friend

Potato Herb Salad With the herb share well underway, I have had the opportunity to experiment.  The first recipe is an alternative to the regular creamy-style potato salad, which although an American summer classic, can be heavy and is certainly not "diet-friendly!"  My take on potato salad was inspired by the freshness of Greek cuisine. … Continue reading Mid-Summer Herbal Manifestations

I hope everyone has been taking advantage of all the outdoor activities our city has to offer this summer.  If not...GET TO IT.  We are in our final summer month, but don't stress.  There is still plenty to do before we are donning our Halloween costumes and lugging our gourds home from the Church in … Continue reading Eating Our Way Through the Last Days of Summer
