Garlic Scape Soup

(3 reviews) Posted by Sonata  

I haven't tried this yet because it's been too hot for soup, and I haven't had enough garlic scapes at any one time to make it! It sounds yummy though. The recipe did not give cooking times, so I'll have to let you know once I make it. MORE»

Garlic Scape Pesto

(1 reviews) Posted by Sonata  

Garlic scapes are the curly stems from hard-necked garlic plants. They have a milder flavor than the garlic bulbs. We enjoyed this pesto spread on Italian bread, but it would probably be good over pasta as well. You can substitute asiago cheese... MORE»

Posted by Sonata  

I forget where on the web I found this recipe, probably at a CSA farm website, but it stated the recipe was adapted from Vegetables from Amaranth to Zucchini, by Elizabeth Schneider. I forgot the zest and I used crystallized ginger, which I assume... MORE»

Caramelized Onion and Coarse-Grain Mustard Mashed Potatoes

From the Trenton Times: Caramelized onions practically melt into the warm potatoes, and coarse-grain mustard adds a pretty golden-flecked hue and subtle flavor. Cook time does not include time to make caramelized onions. I have made this using... MORE»

Smoked Pork Chops With Apples

(2 reviews) Posted by Sonata  

I was looking for something new to do with some smoked pork chops and I found a recipe on cooks.com that I altered slightly. The original called for cranberry-apple drink rather than cider. The glaze never really thickened for me, but it the chops... MORE»

Spinach Salad With Gorgonzola Croutons and Bacon Twists

Posted by Sonata  

This came from the 2004 edition of The Gourmet Cookbook, edited by Ruth Reichl. I microwaved the bacon twists, but I'll provide the recipe as written in the book. The dressing for this was so good my daughter wanted to scrape the blender pitcher.... MORE»

Sweet Potato Oatmeal Muffins

(6 reviews) Posted by Sonata  

These delicious, moist muffins came from the Practical Produce Cookbook. I played around with some of the ingredients(mainly because I was too lazy to go down in the basement to get the other bag of all-purpose flour) substituting some whole wheat... MORE»

Fresh Peach and Zucchini Casserole

(2 reviews) Posted by Sonata  

This was listed in our local paper as coming from the New Jersey Peach Promotion Council. I entered the recipe as printed in the paper, but when I made it I sliced the zucchini very thinly, halved the amount of cheese, and left out the salt. I... MORE»

Nectarine Salsa

(1 reviews) Posted by Sonata  

This is a variation on a nectarine salsa a local pick-your-own farm sells. They printed their recipe in the local paper a few years ago, to their detriment, since I now make my own instead of buying theirs! Jalapeno pepper is optional. Ever since... MORE»

Butternut Squash and Roasted Red Pepper Soup

(3 reviews) Posted by Sonata  

This soup is a family favorite that is a variation on a soup I had at a church potluck. We'd had a bunch of butternut and acorn squash plus some mystery hybrid squash come up in our compost pile and soup seemed the perfect way to use them up. You... MORE»
