I clipped this recipe out of Martha Stewarts Everyday Food back in 2006, and as the cool weather approaches, it is definitely a go-to recipe in our house. The original recipe has stayed pretty much the same, but I have been known to add other root vegetables (beets, turnips, rutabagas) and mix it up with [...]
As it turns out this week, our box of vegetables from Two Small Farms contained loads of interesting things, that combined with what I had left from last week, made a great curry. I pulled it together early Sunday afternoon, before we embarked on our afternoon excursion, and by the time we got home, it [...]

My new cookbook, Simply Organic: A Cookbook for Sustainable, Seasonal, and Local Ingredients by Jesse Cool, had just the recipe – Short Ribs with Baby [...]
Sausage with onions, peppers and polentaAfter our weekend away in Santa Cruz, and expedition to the Corralitos Market & Sausage Company, I was looking forward to a nice warm dinner, incorporating the Polish sausages (fine and coarse) that we picked up.
