We harvested a plethora of onions last year. We still have yellow copra onions which store quite well. Then there are the red onions which don’t store quite as well. Those are definitely sprouting, so I cut out the sprouts and use what I can. I’ve been using them like crazy but then I use onions in just about everything I cook. I have frozen chopped onions but I wanted to use the fresh onions as much as I could. So I turned to the internet –...

Sometimes you just want pizza. Okay, most of the time I just want pizza. So when Judy (a.k.a. “Mom”) told me on Monday that she was thinking of making pizza for lunch on Tuesday, I was excited to hear it. She planned on using ingredients left over from last year’s harvest, plus a few things we had on hand in the pantry. Then Mom told me she was going to use some frozen naan for the crusts. Now, there’s nothing wrong with naan pizza crusts...

There are lots of various recipes for this type of soup, not the least of which is in the cook book “Mastering the Art of French Cooking”. This time I used mashed potatoes….from the freezer…and frozen leek slices. Obviously you can use fresh leeks and leftover mashed potatoes from...

Shawna was already an established garden writer and well-known gardening spokesperson when she came close to giving up gardening with...

The idea for this recipe was inspired from an hors d’oeuvres sandwich we enjoyed at the GWA (Garden Writers Association) Conference in Buffalo this past summer. It was called a Beet Slider which consisted of a small dinner-size buttered roll spread with horseradish and a thick slice of cooked beet. It slid down very nicely! I had some cooked beets and no dinner rolls so I tried the next best thing. I tossed some cubed beets with horseradish, added a...

I prepared horseradish sauce yesterday. I ran the horseradish twice through a food processor, first slicing, then shredding the pieces of root. As I was shredding, I added enough vinegar to keep the horseradish from drying out or heating up. The vinegar helps retain the hot flavor and allows it to keep for a while in the refrigerator. It will last a couple months. It’s a tasty condiment and it has an impressive list of purported health benefits. I grow...
