Summer Salad
Not the most creative of titles but this is a good way to use up cucumbers and tomatoes from the garden. I also threw in a bonus recipe nod for another way to use shishito peppers. Keep reading.
Niçoise Style Chopped Salad
The farm bag delivery is the highlight of my Tuesdays. Most of the recipes that they feature are great. This one is pretty darn tasty (even though all the ingredients were not included in the bag). In hindsight, I should have thrown in the sliced mushrooms that came that week. (Please note the original recipe calls for…
Roman Pasta and Only You
The October Food ‘n Flix feature is Only You with a VERY young Marissa Tomei and Robert Downey, Jr. Seriously, they look like they’re twelve. 🙂 As part of the film is set in Rome, I found an “authentic” pasta to prepare.
September 2021 “In My Kitchen”

Instant Pot Mojo Pork Rice Bowls
Last December, I purchased an Instant Pot spontaneously during a Cyber-Something Sale. My crockpot had ceased to exist and we went for some time without any sort of stand alone cooking appliance. I’ve used it probably three times since January. After finding this recipe, I will use it a TON more. Instant Pot…
