Insect-Eating Plants, Beauty Gush, Cowbells, Risotto, and Trotti'ing... A Trip in Switzerland By Laurel House IN Travel & Outdoors Oct 17 2011 What's the point of traveling half way around the world only to sit in a tour bus and "see" the sights?

Ask the tourism bureau about festivals (like the Alpabfart Festival), find out about local favorite activities and foods, then go and experience them! Your vacation, and your life, will be richer because of it. Here's a sampling of what you can do when in Switzerland. + READ MORE

Find Your Dinner at the Farmers' Market: A Truly Delectible Duck with Pancetta and Potatoes By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Sep 27 2010 I wrote earlier in the summer about a duck that my son Hugh and his girlfriend Rebecca got at their CSA farmers' market. It was a delicious treat and I was really happy with the way it turned out, so when Rebecca mentioned that ducks were on offer again last week, I jumped at the chance to cook another one. + READ MORE

31 Recipes for Easy July Cooking By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Jul 2 2010 I'm a bit shocked to find that it is July already. It seems that I barely caught my breath in June and now it's gone. But July brings it's own pleasures, such as long sunny days, swimming in the lake, entertaining friends and eating all of the fantastic fresh fruits and vegetables that are harvested. + READ MORE

Find Your Dinner at the Farmers' Market: Roasted Radish and Asparagus Salad By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Jun 7 2010 I have a soft spot for radishes because it was one of my father’s favourite treats. He used to go out to my mother’s vegetable garden and pick a bunch, then cut a whole plate of them, sprinkle with a bit of salt and then go sit on the back porch to enjoy them. + READ MORE

Find Your Dinner at the Farmers' Market: Arugula, Goat Cheese and Walnut Salad By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Jun 3 2010 I bought some at the farmers’ market last week and the farmer said that’s it, they’ve all gone to seed from the extreme heat we’ve been having in Southern Ontario. Luckily I’m growing arugula in my own garden and it is just getting along nicely, although something seems to be eating little holes in it. + READ MORE

30 Quick and Easy Recipes for June To Get You Out of the Kitchen By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Jun 1 2010 Ah, June, that temperate month before the intense heat of July and August, when the garden is still fresh and green and the spring vegetables are in the market. + READ MORE

Find Your Dinner at the Farmers' Market: The Last Hurrah for Wild Leeks By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health May 21 2010 I surprised myself a little bit this week. I went to the farmers’ market and didn’t buy and wild leeks, even though this is probably the last week for them. I guess I was beginning to feel leek fatigue. Or perhaps is was fickle of me, but I was on to pheasant back mushrooms, arugula, spinach and the first of the Ontario strawberries. + READ MORE

Find Your Dinner at the Farmers's Market: Spinach Dandelion Salad By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health May 20 2010 Last week as my friend Rebecca and I were strolling through the farmers’ market we came across a woman selling dandelion jelly. Rebecca had sent me a link to a website talking about making this delicacy and the writer harvested 1000 flours and spent some 4 or 5 hours removing the petals from the heads. Now, I am keenly interested in trying new things to pass on to Planet Green readers, but this seemed way too much like work. + READ MORE

Find Your Dinner at the Farmers' Market: Rainbow Trout with Wild Leeks By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Apr 29 2010 I was so happy last week when wild leeks finally made an appearance at my farmers' market, that I bought a pound of them and have been happily using them for all kinds of things, from soups to braised artichokes, to pastas. + READ MORE

Find Your Dinner at the Farmers' Market: Wild Leek and Morel Quiche By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Apr 26 2010 I'm very happy to be reviving my Farmers' Market Dinner series now that spring has arrived at my two local markets. You could feel the anticipation over the past two weeks as people waited for the spring greens to start appearing at booths, especially because the weather has been so warm and beautiful and people seemed to think that crops should start showing up early. + READ MORE

Find Your Dinner at the Farmers' Market: Cheese Enchiladas with Tomatillo-Green Chili By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Nov 4 2009 When I saw some tomatillos at my local farmers' market, I thought I would give them a try. Most of the recipes I found using tomatillos were for salsa, which really wasn't what I wanted at all. I finally came across one for cheese enchiladas, so I decided to try that. I doubt very much that these were anything like traditional Mexican enchiladas, but they were pretty tasty. + READ MORE

More Fun With Brussels Sprouts By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Nov 3 2009 All week I have been congratulating my husband on his terrific purchase of a stalk of Brussels sprouts from our farmers' market, although he may be getting a bit tired of them. Personally, it's been a revelation for me because I've never had so many sprouts on hand at once. When I buy them once every week or two I usually just do my pan fry and everyone is happy. This has forced me into thinking of other ways to serve them. + READ MORE

Find Your Dinner at the Farmers' Market: Cherry and Spinach Salad By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Jul 30 2009 I was reading through Mark Bittman's article in the New York Times on 101 Salad Ideas and thinking about all of the things I could make over the next couple of weeks when the produce is so plentiful and there are so many choices for fresh fruits and vegetables. + READ MORE

Find Your Dinner at the Farmers' Market: Peas and Prosciutto By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Jun 30 2009 I've been in Europe for a vacation, so I have happily given over the task of shopping, cooking, and dish washing. I did miss my farmers' market, though. My husband and I arrived in Paris mid-morning on Saturday and once we had dumped our luggage at the hotel we started to explore. We hit upon the tail end of an urban market and it was wonderful to see the array of fruits and vegetables available. + READ MORE
