One Local Summer – Week 15

Hooooboy did I knock this one out of the park this week. It’s more of a dessert, or sweet, light lunch meal, but I could not resist giving this recipe from ChocolateandZucchini.com a go.  The only big non-local item used here was the butter – pretty necessary to get the crust just right.  I used [...]

One Local Summer – Week 12

I came home from the Market at the Anselma Mill with a Spaghetti Squash. I’d never had spaghetti squash and I’ve been trying to broaden my vegetable horizons and try new things. Searching online, I found this recipe for spaghetti squash pancakes. Interesting, different, and easy! I didn’t quite follow the recipe as written. I [...]

One Local Summer – Week 10

I really cannot believe it’s week ten already. I just didn’t feel like getting everything together and seriously cooking this week, but I did manage a meal. This week, I bring you a veggie panini! Vegetable Panini: Bread – Saint Peter’s Bakery. This is their wheat bread. Yellow Squash – Arrgh I can never remember [...]

OLS: Week 10

Week ten of one local summer is cooked and consumed already. The husband is home again and decided to try something different – tacos! I was in charge of the taco shells and toppings while he did the filling. I found a good shell recipe here which used both cornmeal and flour.  I went with whole [...]

Zucchini Week: Day 7

Day 7, a week late. Oops. I’m a bad, bad blogger. Well, the meal was made on day seven, however the picture didn’t make it off the camera until today. Yeah. Anyway, in all of its glory, I present to you my own creation, a zucchini pasta salad. The idea took form after I realized [...]

Zucchini Week: Day 1

For day one of zucchini week, I decided to try something new and different. I just love Elise’s website for recipes and this one jumped right out at me as being something relatively easy and delicious and above all, different from the normal uses for zucchini. The Zucchini Fritters were all of those things and [...]

OLS: Week 8

Pizza for Week Eight!  I saw the post on FarmToPhilly.com about making pizza and I just *had* to!  This has become a popular item in the house since the crust is actually done on the grill.  I usually do a big batch of them at once and then stick them in the freezer or fridge [...]

OLS: Week 5

One Local Summer rolls on into week five.   I figured I’d switch it up a bit and do a breakfast meal this week before we left for the Dominican Republic.  Why yes, I spent most of June out of the country.   Potatoes in front are basic home fries in the skillet with potatoes (there were [...]

OLS: Week 4

Week four!  This week was a full dinner for two and I may have cheated a little more than I usually do with the locality of all of the ingredients, but to do a meal like this, well, sometimes you have to do what works.  This week features most items coming from a trip to [...]

OLS: Week 3

I’m a little late on this one, but we spent all of week 3 in Scotland.  So, I think that’s okay, right? For the record, this was a lunch meal and I tend to go heavier on the green things and lighter on the meat for lunches, hence the big blob of green on the [...]
