What We Love: Community Supported Agriculture

July 28, 2020 By Lane 2 Comments

One of the greatest parts of this summer is my Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) box. I look forward every week to the day we pick up our box of fresh vegetables from our local coffee shop. My favorite are the weeks when we’re headed to the cabin and I challenge myself to use the vegetables in new and different ways (since there I have the time to experiment with new recipes). Every week I try to use every last vegetable and herb in our meal plan for the week. Interested in learning about Community Supported Agriculture? Read on…

Citrus Kissed Roasted Brussels Sprouts

November 19, 2019 By Lane 1 Comment

It took me a long time to discover the amazingness of Brussels Sprouts. I wasn’t really introduced to them until I was a young adult and then I wasn’t really sure what all of the fuss was about. Seemed like just small cabbages to me and I’ve never really loved cooked cabbage! But then I discovered ROASTED brussels sprouts. And better yet, these Citrus Kissed Roasted Brussels Sprouts… which are a little sweet, a little savory, a little citrus-y, and ALL delicious! Now I’m #teambrussels all the way.

We’ve definitely had muffins on the brain lately.

Fall is officially here and I just harvested the last butternut squash from my garden. And although I do LOVE a good butternut squash soup (like this Thai Butternut Squash Soup), I was looking for something just a little bit different to do with my last butternut squash of the season (well, at least my last home grown butternut squash). Enter Butternut Squash Fries with Sriracha Mayo. Because vegetables should not be complicated.
