Take a plain Ronnybrook yogurt drink, add a bit of honey and shake. Garnish with ground pistachios and a pinch of nutmeg. Heavenly!

What’s in the freezer?

Nothing, anymore. The timing was almost perfect. We’ve used up all the veggies and stock that I put in the freezer just as everything is coming back at the greenmarket. So what worked well in the freezer and what worked not-so-well?
4 stars
Hot peppers–will definitely freeze more this year.
Stock
Pesto
Tomato sauce

Last fall, I canned my first tomatoes. I followed the instructions in the “Ball Blue Book of Preserving” and yet, I’ve been putting off opening the tomatoes all winter. The literature about canning I’ve read is replete with horrific tales about botulism and how dangerous it can be. I was scared. [...]

Yesterday I had a Hotpot Jones. But it was just me during lunch and so a big production was not in order. Plus I’d already eaten my quota of meat this week and didn’t want too much sodium. So I used some vegetarian broth that I had on hand and using one [...]

It’s World Vegetarian Day. I didn’t even realize there was such a thing, but apparently it’s the 30th anniversary. I guess I better go get us some veggies! I surprised M when I told him we’d been eating vegetarian except 1 or 2 days a week. The food has been that [...]

This was the best cool-weather dinner I can remember. The brilliant orange color of the butternut squash combined with the red tomatoes and peppers made it so beautiful to behold. And it has turmeric in it which is a bonus. I got everything I needed for this at the Union Square Greenmarket, [...]
