Tomato Pesto Frittata

April 19, 2018 – 9:24 am

A little flashback of a recipe Penelope made for us years ago that somehow never got published.  This grey, snowy, icy Spring when many are dreaming of summer seemed like just the moment.  A touch of summer flavors while we are waiting for Spring and Summer.

March 22, 2018 – 2:10 pm

Last week Ric Cengeri’s Vermont Edition interview  with Lisa Kaiman at Jersey Girls Dairy  made us stop multi tasking. Ric’s simple probes and Lisa’s articulate answers made for a stealth piece and a beautiful window into the reality for small farms. We need your honest and vulnerable stories.
