One Pot Greek Eggplant and Rice
As many of you know, our Healthy Harvest family gets 90% of our groceries from local farmer’s markets, which means we have learned to eat what's in season. Sometimes that means learning to work with ingredients I haven't always been familiar with. Before working markets, I only rarely cooked eggplant, but as summer comes to an end and I can't even look at summer squash anymore, I decided to research some new recipes to add to our repertoire.

Holiday Season. While some people love the hustle and bustle, more often that not, friends I talk to tend to feel a bit stressed.

Black Friday asks us to choose between sharing food and gratitude with … Continue reading "Don’t miss local, handmade holiday gifts before market season is over"
Cauliflower Crust Pizza
During the dog days of summer, I refuse to heat up the kitchen, so it’s been mostly fresh salads or stovetop meals for us. Now that it’s finally feeling a little more like fall and cool enough to turn the air conditioning off, I’m really looking forward to using the oven again. I can’t wait to …

White Bean Puttanesca
Unless it’s a soup or stew, meals in our house rarely take more than 30 minutes.
