10/25 Legendary Legume Soup

This weekend at the farmers market we found a vendor that was selling the most bountiful bags of local beans. I spied a soup mix that consisted of every bean known to man in one bag.  There were no seasonings with it. The mix came as a blank slate, a bright white canvas to embellish […]

He started to consume my largest and most grand pumpkin with the determination of a piranha.

8/30 The Spaghetti Switcheroo

Over the weekend I saw the most beautiful Spaghetti Squash. It was nestled between the  green cabbage and the perfectly perfect Michigan corn. As I looked past it toward something more Summery,  it came to me like a smack from behind…this is that bizarre squash that doubles as spaghetti. Without further hesitation I bought the […]
