{photo diary} CSA Share: Week 3

As a hobby photographer since the age of 13, I don’t get much chance to spread my artistic wings… so I’ve decided to document EVERYTHING from our Denison Farm CSA 2010 season. Every piece of produce is getting face time. I am a Round Laker, so here’s what we got- Scallions, Fennel, Broccoli Rabe, Swiss…

Soba Noodles with Various Veggies and a Poached Egg

I’ve been waiting to post this go-to recipe until Miles was whole-heartedly into this entrée. He continues to love everything about it. So I will post it, even though I’m not sure how traditionally kid friendly this recipe is. In beginning this post, I realized that 99% of my posts have weighed heavily on various…

Chinese Cabbage: Korean Pancakes

I made this recipe many, many times before and they are a big hit with Miles. I haven’t made them with cabbage, but are perfect for it. And honestly, the recipe calls for cabbage, I’ve just always ignored it. I have many korean pancake recipes (we have a few korean cookbooks) but I really like…
