Sausage, Potato, and Greens Soup
The Perkins’ family considers Sausage, Potato, and Greens Soup a long-time dinner favorite. Dan and I first discovered a version of this recipe in Asparagus to Zucchini: A Guide to Farm-Fresh Seasonal Produce. The Fair Share CSA Coalition created this cookbook, which is organized alphabetically by vegetable and super handy! We have a copy in…
Read MoreEveryday Green Smoothie
We call this Everyday Green Smoothie because there have been weeks in our life where we literally drank this EVERY DAY! This green smoothie template works perfectly for a refreshing snack, as a way to get your kids (and yourself) to eat more veggies, and also for those times when you’re starting to feel rundown…
Read MoreFrittata With Potatoes, Scallions, and Greens
I originally posted this recipe in 2014, when I first started blogging. This post has been updated to reflect new things I’ve learned, like the tip from Samin Nosrat’s Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat on layering salt throughout the cooking process. I also give veggie replacement ideas so you can use this as a template for…
Read MoreHomemade Vegetable Broth for Winter
Homemade Vegetable Broth can be used to make your favorite soup or to warm you up on a cold winter day. I never thought I’d choose a steaming mug of veggie broth over coffee or tea, but the more I make that choice, the more I love the feeling of being not only warmed up…

What’s the best way to store these greens so that they last? Step 1:…
Read MoreOrzo with Spinach and Garlic
Trisha and Ryan Belstra have been farm members since our very first season back in 2010, back when we offered a summer CSA, which happened to be the summer Trisha and I were both pregnant with our second child. Six years later, the Belstra’s are still farm members and our babies are no longer babies…
Read MoreHow to Make a Buddha Bowl
Several years ago, my in-laws Dana and Joan encountered significant health issues. Joan was diagnosed as pre-diabetic, while Dana continued to struggle with high cholesterol even though he was taking statins and eliminating most fats from his diet. Instead of diving into even more medication, they decided to make a serious diet change–by going vegan. They signed…
Read MoreSpinach and Swiss Omelette
“Eggs crack. Butter pops in a hot pan. Her father is telling an abridged story of their flight, train stations, fearful crowds, omitting the stop in Evreux, but soon all of Marie-Laure’s attention is absorbed by the smells blooming around her: egg, spinach, melting cheese. An omelette arrives. She positions her face over its steam…
Read MoreGreens with Maple Apples and Onions
