Stuffed cabbage – Trôo style

October 24, 2019 – 7:02 am

 adapted from BBC Good Food Darienne noted that this years cabbage harvest was excellent, so cabbage is plentiful and this dish so hits the spot on these cool days.  It was perhaps one of the most delightful new recipes a few years ago.  Donna took on using more cabbage for farmer lunch and we got […]

Fried Green Tomatoes

September 26, 2019 – 8:19 am

Fresh ripe tomatoes are generally the stars of the tomato show, but green tomatoes have their own special value.  And at the end of the tomato season it is a great treat! Fried green tomatoes are tasty and quick to make (and great with hot sauce) – take some firm ones home and they’ll last […]

Napa Cabbage Salad

September 5, 2019 – 7:02 am

It is the season for the freshest version of this salad!  Sometimes a Napa Cabbage can be a bit overwhelming…but just peel it down a bit and chop it up and it has the delightful crunch of romaine lettuce but some of that lovely Napa flavor.  This is a great cabbage raw or cooked…for this […]

July 17, 2019 – 2:44 pm

Thanks to our member Jo Ann for this great recipe, which we’ve adapted a bit to take advantage of the season! She shared it during the wintery spring, and I think noted that it even worked with our frozen broccoli. But we jumped on the chance to use the recipe with Field Stone Farm’s sprouting […]

Fennel and Cucumber Salad

July 11, 2019 – 5:30 am

I came across this recipe recently and it just looked and sounded so lovely, fresh and crisp!  In the past few years my appreciation of fennel has grown notably and I find it a really great salad addition, whether a veggie salad or a  chicken salad.  I think this might also be great on a […]

Sally’s Andalusian Gazpacho with Frozen Tomatoes

June 20, 2019 – 1:32 pm

from Donna Farley & her step-mother Donna Farley sent an excited email, “I finally did it! I just made gazpacho with the bags of frozen tomatoes, and it’s yummy.” Yummy it is, we’ve repeated it many times during early season hot spells (and/or when you start to crave tomatoes before their time) and it is […]

Roasted Garlic

April 26, 2019 – 8:32 am

Roasted garlic is always delicious, but it is also a great use of garlic towards the end of its storage life. You can roast a bunch and then put it in the freezer to use as you wish, mixing it into soups, stews, veggies, potatoes, really any dish or spreading it on tortillas, bread, etc. […]

Pickled Eggs
