Stir-Fried Beef with Snow Peas and Cashews
When stir-frying, we use a nonstick skillet, which puts more surface area in direct contact with the burner than a traditional wok. This translates to a hotter pan and better browning. Placing the raw flank steak in the freezer for 15 minutes makes it easy to slice the meat thin. Serve with steamed rice. From […]

Garlic Scape Pesto
If you like the taste of garlic, you will love this recipe. Some find it too strong. It can always be cut with basil or kale. And if you have too much you can freeze it for future use. Add it to your favorite pasta sauce or wherever you want to add a nice garlic […]
Szechuan Noodles
This pasta features a variety of flavors, including garlic, ginger, tahini (sesame paste), sherry and sherry vinegar, and more. The dish is finished off with grated fresh carrot on the top, mimicking fresh grated cheese on top of an Italian pasta dish. A nice salad with Tahini Asian Dressing works well as a side to […]
Tahini Asian Dressing
This recipe calls for 1 inch of fresh ginger, but I like to keep peeled pieces of ginger in the fridge in a jar filled with Sherry. Fresh ginger, with a subtle hint of gingery sherry, is always available and keeps for months. The ginger infused sherry can be used for other recipes. But buy […]
Kohlrabi and Carrot Salad
This crunchy salad is a refreshing treat on a hot summer day. After dressing the salad it is recommended that you let it chill for about an hour. While you can dress it with your favorite vinaigrette dressing, it is delicious with the Apple Cider Vinegar Dressing. If you have an apple (green, Pink Lady, […]
Farming is Hard
Farming is hard. Vegetable farming is even harder. CSA farming adds yet another layer of complexity. The obvious layer is the need to provide quantities of produce in relevant amounts each week – week after week. We can’t give out 5 pounds of tomatoes one week and 15 heads of broccoli the next. The items […]
Apple Cider Vinegar Dressing
This dressing is wonderful with the Kohlrabi and Carrot Salad, but can also be used to dress up any lettuce based salad. Use a high quality, preferably organic, apple cider vinegar. The better quality vinegar you choose, the better tasting dressing you’ll produce. 2 tablespoons organic apple cider vinegar 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 1 teaspoon […]
