Asparagus, again? We’re eating asparagus every day now. I’ve been cutting asparagus tips since the end of April. At first it was every other day, now it’s mandatory cutting every day. For brunch last weekend we tried it roasted with baked eggs on top. I’d never baked eggs sunny side up before – pretty tasty. Today, as a little side dish I chopped the asparagus spears into ¼” diagonal slices. I used my western-style Santoku knife which made short work...

What can I say…. we still have sweet potatoes from last year’s harvest so it was an experiment waiting to happen. It was Geoff’s idea. He’s been wanting to learn how to make pierogi. There are lots of traditional fillings that can be used but he thought it appropriate for our CobraHead blog post that we fill them with sweet potatoes. I admit that I haven’t made pierogi in years. The first time I ever had them was back in Detroit (just before we were married) when...

Yes, we are still eating last year’s harvest of sweet potatoes. They are a wonder crop, and if properly stored, will last until the next year’s crop comes in if you haven’t eaten them all.

It seems that a certain visiting member of the family got carried away when making Sweet Potato Quesadillas and...

On Geoff’s last visit to Wisconsin he prepared some of the family meals. After raiding the freezer for some homegrown veggies he came up with this tasty side dish – tamari flavored ‘walnutty’ green beans.

I’m a big walnut fan so this dish went to the top of the list for me. 2 T. olive oil ¼ cup chopped walnuts 2 cups frozen green beans, thawed (or...

Sweet potatoes are back! We had another fantastic harvest which will keep us in these orange delights all year. They’ll be making their way into all sorts of soups, stews, roasts, stir fries, curries and who knows what else? Make a double batch of this chili and have enough left for an easy meal the next day. Disguise that extra chili inside some great tortillas, add a little sauce and some cheese and a different meal is born. Sweet Potato Chili recipe 2 cups dry...
