Last week Bree mentioned being in a recipe slump this time of year. In our household we are eating every meal at home, except for the occasional takeout, so the slump feels especially bad. To get myself out of it, I’ve started roasting everything.

This time of year I often find myself in a cooking slump. We do a lot of sandwiches, which is fine with me because sandwiches are one of my favorite foods to make and to eat. Eggplant is awesome on a sandwich, it makes a meat-y and substantial topping. I grill them on my electric skillet […]

Before we started participating in the Rootbound CSA program, I was a vegetable novice. Confession time, I never really ate a salad, or enjoyed a vegetable that wasn’t fried or covered in cheese, until college. I have come a long way since then, and I enjoy vegetables now.
