Kate’s Thoughts for Food Meal Planning Service: Home-Cooking Made Fresh
I think I’ve only ever eaten okra once in my life before I prepared today’s recipe. Strike that, I know I’ve only ever eaten okra once in my life before I prepared today’s recipe. My wonderful friend Sarah prepared traditional fried okra for one of our military family Thanksgivings, and I vaguely remember popping them [...]
As the self-proclaimed cheese lover that I am, it should come as no surprise that I absolutely enjoy a good lasagna. What’s not to love? They usually feature at least two to three types of cheese layered between delicious pasta and bubbling tomato sauce. But turns out they are also a wonderful way to incorporate [...]
We all get to a point in a season when we start to run out of steam with a veggie or fruit, and find ourselves thinking, “What else can I possibly make with this?” This seems to happen more often than not with the wonderful humble zucchini and when it does, I start baking! Zucchini [...]
Today’s recipe couldn’t get more simple, or more straight forward. It capitalizes on the intense flavor of juicy cherry tomatoes, the sweet crispness of bell peppers, and the succulence of grilled fish. I know that it seems like I am slacking on this recipe, but I promise you don’t need a lot of ingredients when [...]
For those of you fellow Marylanders, temporary or permanent, this week (July 21-29) is the Buy Local Challenge. The mission is to encourage consumers to take advantage of the amazing produce available by pledging to eat one thing from a local farm every day of the challenge week. It’s a wonderful way to draw attention [...]
It’s kind of absurd how much ice cream I can eat. You know those contests where people have to eat multiple gallons of ice cream in a short time frame? I would win, hands down. It’s gross and completely unhealthy, but I’d be a champion. Greatest job I ever had was working at an ice [...]
I have wanted to make my own ketchup since my two-year old tried the bottled variety and started proclaiming “Dip please!” at every meal. We successfully distracted him with home-made balsamic while I patiently waited for tomato season to approach. When I spotted gorgeous varieties from Sassafras Farm at the farmers’ market this past weekend, [...]
This month I kicked off a partnership with Macaroni Kid: Macaroni Military Family. For those who may not be familiar, Macaroni Kid is a group of publishers that focus on providing details for family-friendly events and activities in communities across the U.S. via a free weekly newsletter. It’s an incredible resource for finding things to [...]
I’m always on the hunt for new ways to cook certain seasonal vegetables. When my husband picked up some sugar snap peas from Sassafras Farm at the market last weekend, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to try something new. I had steamed sugar snap peas a good dozen times, so I decided it was [...]
The beauty of living in a small town surrounded by rural areas is that you pass lots of local produce stands whenever you travel somewhere! Seeing as I am a sucker for just about anything fresh and local, that means I pull over multiple times. I like to do my part for the local economy [...]
