Last weekend I signed us up for a new CSA – one that will ultimately be closer to our new home. This CSA is through Sleeping Frog Farms, and so far our first pick-up has been successful! They have sign-ups quarterly, so right now we just started the “Winter” quarter. Although we just did our…

Highlights of 2012
2012 was a busy year. It feels nice to welcome a new year with 2013, although today is the last day of my vacation and I’m kind of dreading going back to work after so many nice, lazy, and relaxing days. Anyone have any ideas for what I could do for a living that doesn’t involve…
Hello Again!
It has undoubtedly been some time since I’ve written. Summer was busy (and so hot…) and frankly I just didn’t do much cooking or baking (or at least nothing worth writing about). Now that the weather has started to change (no more days in the triple digits! Hopefully…) I’m starting to feel inspired again to head back…
Tucson CSA – February 15, 2012
It was that time of the week again yesterday, and we are absolutely overloaded with produce. I hate to admit this, but we actually had to toss a few items we had leftover from the last two weeks to make room in the fridge for the new produce we got this week 😦 Yet another…
Tucson CSA – February 8, 2012
It’s amazing. We only started participating in the CSA at the beginning of January, and I can’t believe how much the crops have already started to change in the past 4-6 weeks! I have to admit, I DO NOT miss having piles and piles of seemingly never ending greens (although I do have a lot…
Butternut Squash Bisque
Yipee! I have another successful soup recipe under my belt! I’m not a huge soup person – it’s never something I get cravings for. But I’m starting to think that maybe I just really like smooth, blended soups. I loved my Chioggia Beet Borscht, and now I love this Butternut Squash Bisque. I had two…
Tucson CSA – February 1, 2012
We’re back! Yep, and it’s that time of the week again. We missed the CSA last week since we were in chilly Chicago. Compared to Tucson, it was crazy cold in Chicago. However, knowing what we know about winter in Chicago, it was actually a really beautiful and mild week (considering it was January….). We…
Panna Cotta = Creamy Deliciousness
This past weekend our house was christened with it’s first official “local” guests! These were’t our first guests ever – my parents helped us move and stayed with us for a while, and Rebecca (my good friend from Chicago) came to stay with us for a few days just before the holidays. But on Friday…
Chioggia Beet Borscht… I actually liked it!
Who knew? Going into it, I honestly had no idea how I would feel about borscht. Pureed beets and broth? Meh. However, since I had chioggia beets on hand from last week’s CSA share, I figured there was no better time like the present to give borscht a try. I won’t hold you in too…
Tucson CSA – January 18, 2012
Woohoo! We’re at week 3 of the CSA, and still going strong! We still have some leftovers from last week (fennel, some greens, fresh dill, one daikon radish), and I’m yet again feeling overwhelmed (is this becoming a trend???). I thought we had gotten a lot of veggies the past two weeks. Well, this weeks…
