Rice bowls are basically my favorite thing in the world especially when there’s little to no prep and they just seem to come together on their own. With quick pickled veggies, this bowl is pretty much the cure for any mid-week blues. With ground chicken, I dislike how colorless and textureless it usually is. So,…

Tomato, Wax Bean, and Basil Salad with Lemon Mascarpone Vinaigrette
This salad is a dream. Bright tomatoes, crunchy wax beans and fragrant fresh basil. Drizzled with an ever-so-slightly creamy lemon vinaigrette, this meal is absolutely perfect for warm summer nights or to bring to a brunch party. And it looks so gorgeous that everyone will think you’re some kind of food wizard even though this…
Spring Onion Risotto with Shrimp
I will admit – I am a sucker for onions. All kinds of onions. Shallots, spring onions, scallions, ramps, red onions, white onions…you name it, I’ll cook it up somehow and eat it. I have never, however, cooked with a Purple Spring Onion before. I’ve seen them in the grocery store, but for some reason,…
Collard Greens with a Roasted Red Pepper Sauce
This recipe was originally inspired by Saveur. I came home from a long day and wanted a no-fuss side dish with my dinner, something healthy but filling. When I came across a recipe for Collard Greens and Chile-Garlic sauce, I knew I wanted to give it a go. I haven’t often seen collard greens paired…
Blueberry & Asparagus Salad
My fiancé has a major addiction to blueberries and will honestly eat them until he’s sick. So, naturally, when we were at the market and he saw a giant box on sale, he. had. to. have. them. LIKE NOW. So now we have a huge box of blueberries that no normal person can eat. When…
Mugwort and Spinach Soup
This week, we received mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) in our CSA bag and honestly, I’m so thankful a few people on the NDO team pointed me in the direction of Martha Stewart’s Mugwort Soup recipe because I had no idea what to do with this green. It has a really aromatic smell and I was definitely…
Braised Burdock Root
When we received burdock root with our shipment of veggies, I’ll admit…I was a little intimidated! A slender, hearty root that can grow up to two feet, this root can be a little scary to work with! The first task is figuring out “how the heck do I clean this thing off?” And the next…
Pork Chops with Roasted Carrots and Tomatillo Salsa
It is ABSOLUTELY frigid outside and I am losing my mind. I’m totally desperate for Spring weather, so I decided to make a very Spring-ish meal for dinner. I received lots of tasty carrots in my CSA this week but the idea of doing a mix of roasted root veggies or using them in soup…
Chicken with Green Garlic and Mushrooms
Spring is officially right around the corner and I can’t even explain how excited that makes me…longer evenings, spring jacket weather, and tons of lighter, new vegetables to cook with. Don’t get me wrong, I love those heavy root veggies, but I also love the lightness of baby spring veggies. This week, I got green garlic…
Farro with Mushrooms and Crispy Beets
Mushrooms and farro, has ever a better texture combination existed?

This recipe is so, so easy and quick to prepare and leftovers are perfect…
