I know I am. I get a farm box every week and so far this Sumer…too many zucchinis for me. Over the years I’ve made many different recipes like stuffed zucchini with tomatoes and cheese, pasta, etc. etc. It kills me it takes so long to cook or is it me? The only thing I…… Continue reading Are you burnt out on zucchini?

Left Over Beans
What do you do with leftover beans? Added, I overcooked them. URK. All the reviews sang the top praises. I am so disappointed. I used Vaquero beans from Rancho Gordo. They are a beautiful black and white bean. They are cousins to a bean called Anasazi and those beans are sometimes called Appaloosa beans I…… Continue reading Left Over Beans

I have to post Jessica Gavin’s recipe. I’m pretty sure I saw it years ago in Bon Appetit. I’ve been on Bon Appetit’s site so much, the kitchen is NOW CLOSED.

COLLARD GREEN SLAW RECIPE
I am sorry to say that I don’t buy collards. I don’t know how to cook them. Most recipes I read require ham hocks or bacon. I don’t eat either one unless it’s turkey bacon…and not that often. We get a farm box from Full Belly Farm and they grow collards. We probably get them…… Continue reading COLLARD GREEN SLAW RECIPE
