  • Family Dinner Plan: Avocados

    By Kitchen Gadget Girl | Published: May 19, 2013

      Beautiful Bacon avocados in our Mariquita Farms box this week, 5 total. Between lunch and dinner salads, plus maybe a random night with guacamole, these fruits will go fast. Our box also contained Kohlrabi (I scored two bunches from the trade box!), Baby Carrots, Lacinato Kale, Lettuces, Potatoes, French Tarragon and Green-tailed Red Onions. [...]

    Family Dinner Plan: Artichokes and spring greens

    By Kitchen Gadget Girl | Published: May 5, 2013

    Funny. Last week’s title was Fava Beans and I showed a photo of artichokes. This week the title is Artichokes and I show you potatoes. One day I will get it together. Just not this week. Our box this week from Mariquita Farms (now is a good time to sign up if you have been [...]

    Family Dinner Plan: Fava Beans

    By Kitchen Gadget Girl | Published: April 28, 2013

    Fava beans arrived in our box from Mariquita Farms this week, and because folks are scared of them, I got two bags. Fava beans make me laugh – lots of farmers plant them to restore nitrogen to the soil in the off-season. And several years ago, a smart farmer thought to sell the beans, rather [...]

    Family Dinner Plan: Radishes

    By Kitchen Gadget Girl | Published: April 22, 2013

      Our box from Mariquita Farms had a beautiful bunch of radishes included, which was timely, since I wanted to try a couple salad recipes with sugar snap peas, also included in the box. We have a busy week with a few birthdays and extra musical rehearsals for the school performance, plus temperatures seem to [...]

    Salad-1

    We had friends over for dinner last week, to pick their brains about our summer vacation plans. The Swedes arrived on foot; the Danes on bike. Exactly what we expected! Since spring is definitely here, I was able to take advantage of all the great produce available, and the menu came together quickly. Menu for [...]

    Family Dinner Plan: New greens for salads

    By Kitchen Gadget Girl | Published: April 14, 2013
    Greens-9

    Our box this week from Mariquita featured a few new (to us) greens – Shungiku and Young Mustard. The recommendation from Julia is to treat these like any salad green, or use for cooking greens. We also found Sugar Snap Peas, Chantenay Carrots, Purple Bok Choy, Lettuce and Spring Onions. I traded the Portuguese Kale [...]

    Had some friends over for lunch last week and since I had been stockpiling blood oranges from our Frog Hollow CSA box, I decided to build the lunch menu around this springtime fruit. Our Ladies-Who-Lunch Menu: Potato, Leek and Green Garlic Soup from Ina Garten’s Back to Basics Blood Orange and Bearss Lime Escabéche (I added [...]

    Family Dinner Plan: Green Garlic is here!

    By Kitchen Gadget Girl | Published: April 7, 2013
    Green-garlic-1

    Spring time brings lovely green garlic, garlic which has been harvested before maturity. Very nice flavor, mild but still garlicky, I use it almost anywhere I would use regular garlic. Also in our box this week were Young Walla Walla Onions, Lettuce, Chicory Barba di Cappuccino (an Italian chicory), Fennel, Sugar Snap Peas, Carrots, and Red [...]

    Family Dinner Plan: Spring has sprung!

    Asparagus-2013-1

    I am almost positive that I have used that post title before. So catchy and upbeat! Today’s visit to the Farmer’s Market mirrored the one I took March 9, 2010; great spring items, including asparagus, artichokes, and lots of spring vegetables. Still enough winter items to keep us busy, including Brussel sprouts, turnips, beets, and [...]

    I recently ran into a snag when a friend asked for a recipe for a broccoli salad I made a couple years back for another family in our neighborhood, and I had no idea what she was talking about, although I do remember that I brought a tasty broccoli salad. Through my local parents club, [...]
