    Veggie-Hummus Sandwich

    Here’s a quick classic. This one takes me back to always coveting the lunch of a vegetarian friend, who often brought this sandwich. It always looked so fresh, crisp and delicious, that I finally starting making these sandwiches for myself and they are always everything I dream of: fresh, hearty and delicious! They are great any time of year, but in late summer and early fall, all my favorite veggies for it are in season and abundant. One trick is to make the sandwich as soon

    Summer-Harvest Vegetable Soup

    As we move past mid-September, the Palouse-Clearwater region has been experiencing some hints of the transition from summer to fall. I find this a bittersweet time, because I love the changing fall leaves and their crunch and shadows on the sidewalks, the abundance of harvest season, and when it is a bit cold and rainy it is a perfect excuse to start making soup again! Especially after we spent a chilly weekend afternoon pressing some early apple cider with our friends, at Bi

    Walnut- “Pate” Sandwiches

    I’ve been mentioning lately that things have gotten pretty hectic. Between crunching data for the home-stretch of my Master’s Degree, recent traveling, a health issue that had me laid-up for a couple weeks and moving, I’ve really had to use planning ahead as my friend, to create short-cuts and make things easier later- to keep us eating local, healthy, economical meals at home. One of the things I came up with, was this protein-packed walnut-pate to have on hand for use as a

    Tuesday Night Summer Curry

    Tuesday night is time to get ready for the next infusion of delicious veggies in our weekly basket from our CSA membership. Another point of inspiration, is that my friend and office-mate Jason, always has the best smelling lunch. It is because he makes a lot of vegetable curry dishes. These tend to be highly flexible dishes, allowing the swapping out of different proteins, (like lentils, chicken, chickpeas or tofu), vegetables and flavor variations with different curry blend

    Saucy-Chick Salad and Wrap

    Who loves moving? Moving when it is above 90 degrees, is just about as fun as it sounds. Having done this recently, I had a fun challenge coming up with quick and easy meals, while generating as little excess heat as possible. Enter – this saucy creation with some of the usual chick (-en and -pea) favorites, and many goodies from our week’s veggie box from Omache farm – doesn’t it look amazing?! I was already drooling over the Sun Gold tomatoes and fresh basil at the market.

    Late-summer Salsa Verde

    It is that time of year – the field crops are being harvested, there is an unfortunate amount of smoke in the air from nearby forest fires (though I can’t complain about the smoke-intensified sunsets), and of course – so much amazing local food is available all around the Palouse-Clearwater region. Late summer is the time to get big boxes of tomatoes and peaches from the farmer’s market, and then sweat through the weekend in a steamy, fragrant kitchen (hopefully with family a

    Roasted Beet and Balsamic Cherry – a Salad not for the Faint of Heart!

    This salad is intense, delicious, and what’s more – it’s purple! The deep and vibrant colors are often an indication of lots of antioxidants. It seems super-gourmet, but don’t let that put you off, it is pretty easy and doesn’t break the bank. Give it a try, and maybe use it to impress some friends who don’t usually like beets… and let us know the outcome in the comments section! There are a few do-ahead steps (1 & 2) with this recipe, but they can be pretty quick and easy to

    Summer salads for those hot weekends!

    With weather in the high 90’s last weekend, it was pretty important to not make our house any hotter than it was by trying to cook something. We were also moving, so having something quick, easy and heartier than a standard salad was a win. (Look for our apartment “kitchen remodel” results- coming soon!) I’ve got a line-up of quick and easy salads coming down the pipeline, made with yummy fresh veggies from our Omache farm CSA share. If you are looking for something like a CS

    Summer-veggie stuffed mushrooms with polenta*

    We were just visiting my mom over in Western Montana, she loves food too and, has a great garden. She ended up kind of “Iron Chef” challenging me to cook her dinner. She brought in her big basket of kale from the garden, added some other stuff from her fridge and wished me luck making dinner! When I finished – there was a consensus that this meal was excellent, and should be shared – so, here goes: Summer-veggie Stuffed Portabello Mushrooms with Polenta This yummy summer dish

    Baked Oatmeal with Berries!

    I can seldom resist berries – ever, let alone from the Farmer’s Market. Most of the time this results in Shane shaking his head as we leave with an entire flat (he blames my Norwegian heritage – click here for a fun link to a Norwegian berry-picking song, berries are a pretty big deal there!) Though after we start eating berries the head-shaking tends to stop… Coming out of Oregon, these folks from Aichele Farms, grow strawberries, raspberries and blackberries and sell them

    Stuffed Morels

    This should be my last morel-specific post for awhile. If you are interested in morel preservation and general mushroom hunting make sure you check out the previous posts. Also, this great article from WSU news, on the “Shroom Boom” of the PNW, can attest that we are not the only ones obsessed with these amazing fungi this year! Stuffed Morels – these recipes to me feel like they are approaching some pretty serious gourmet decadence. At the same time, they were actually prett

    Rhubarb, greens and chicken – Oh My!

    Greens – Looks like the 2015 growing season has officially taken off! It is exciting to have so many lovely greens already in our fridge from our Omache Farm CSA share. Last week we got lettuce, spinach, arugula and kale, not to mention two different stir-fry greens(!) – they were all beautiful and have been especially great for revitalizing salads of all kinds! I have also fallen head over heels for spring garlic this year. Fall-planted last year, they look and use a lot lik
