This Northern Spy Kale Salad, discovered on Food52, has become a staple this holiday season: I made it first for the Advent Party, then Kris and Tom brought it for the annual reading of ‘A Christmas Memory,’ and now it’s […]
Another evening with the neighbors where I take no photos of the neighbors themselves. This time, Kris, Tom and Irene came over for Cedar Planked Salmon and Kale Strawberries with Salad. It was so chilly that we all wrapped ourselves […]
We had a big night Friday, when we smoked a couple of chickens and had a showing of “Big Night” on the big outdoor screen. Kris and Tom brought over mustard greens and kale (made with Benton’s, natch) as well […]

We started the New Year out right with healthy greens and whole grains. This recipe for Cabbage and Kale Soup with Farro comes from Food&Wine and is a real winner! Nutty from the farro, a little savory and bitter from […]
For Saturday night supper, we lit the fire for the first time and enjoyed a warming plate of lamb, kale and squash — with a lovely apple-pear crisp for dessert. And we poured a nice, smooth Rioja. How autumnal of […]
