Raise, save, and prep "God's natural, organic, whole foods, grown locally, in season"
I have to thank my friend Cheryl for inspiring some yummy food for tonight’s dinner. We got a big bag of local, naturally-grown-although-not-certified-organic green beans at the Farmer’s Market yesterday. I was going to make Loubieh (Arabic Green Bean Stew) out of them. But her simple recipe sounded so good and so simple, so I [...]
Please forgive me for perhaps going overboard in my excitement about the large glass refrigerator storage dishes that arrived today from greenfeet.com. They are just the most awesome kitchen tools! The glass is super sturdy; they’re going to last forever with careful handling. Here I filled one of the large dishes (it holds 12 cups) [...]
If you click on any of the links here, or in the Kitchen Store, and then make a purchase from greenfeet.com yourself, then I will get paid. And that will help to support the work I do here at GNOWFGLINS™. I took the plunge a couple days ago and ordered a bunch of things from [...]
Leftover steamed corn on the cob? Here’s a super easy and fabulously delicious side dish. Heat a cast iron skilet over medium heat with a few tablespoons of oil (your choice: olive, grapeseed, coconut, red palm, butter). While the pan and oil are heating, cut all the kernels off the ears of corn. Transfer the [...]
This is one of my not-very-precise recipes, and it also happens to be very forgiving. I created it along the same lines as many of my hard-to-duplicate-exactly skillet dishes. It was delicious last night and I’m looking forward to having more for lunch today. 1 red onion, diced extra virgin olive oil 2 or 3 [...]
I picked up my Azure Standard order yesterday. I don’t have to meet the truck anymore on late Monday nights, because a friend retrieves my order and then I go grab it from her when I’m out in town on Wednesdays. I am so thankful to have the help with that, being as we live [...]
In part, this method comes from Ann Wigmore’s book “Sprouting.” I have added modifications of my own. Please note that microgreens different than sprouts. Sprouts are grown in water, while microgreens are grown in soil. We eat the entire sprout – roots, stems and leaves; of microgreens, we eat only the stem and leaves, leaving [...]
Since late spring, we’ve had a constant supply of delicious buckwheat and sunflower microgreens growing on the back porch. I’ve written about growing microgreens before, but am now following a slightly different growing method. Instead of planting dry seeds under a thin layer of soil, I now follow the soaking and sprouting method of Ann [...]
We ate stuffed grape leaves, quinoa tabouli, and Arabic meatballs again this weekend, serving them to Jeff’s folks. We just never get enough of that food! With the kids gone, there is only Jeff and me to share all the leftovers. I just enjoyed a nice bowl of tabouli for my lunch. My challenge these [...]
