More Fun With Brussels Sprouts 3 Nov 2009 IN FOOD & HEALTH \| COMMENTS 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...+ READ MORE	{ }
Try a New Vegetable: Heirloom Tomatoes with Couscous and Peas 29 Jul 2009 IN FOOD & HEALTH \| COMMENTS I realize that tomatoes are hardly a new vegetable for people, but have you ever tried the heirloom tomatoes) that are making a resurgence at farmers' markets?

Try A New Vegetable: Pheasant Back Mushrooms 3 Jun 2009 IN FOOD & HEALTH \| COMMENTS I missed my normal Thursday afternoon trip to the farmers' market because I had the beginning of a terrible cold. My daughter went in my stead and blithely announced that unless I had a specific request, she was only going to buy what she liked. It was fine, but I wanted to be sure to be at the...+ READ MORE	{ }
Try a New Vegetable: Mizuna 12 Nov 2008 IN FOOD & HEALTH \| COMMENTS There's a guy at the farmers' market who I visit every week because he almost always has something new on offer.

Re-Try a Vegetable: Cauliflower, Eggplant and Potato in Herb Sauce 28 Oct 2008 IN FOOD & HEALTH \| COMMENTS Cauliflower falls into the category of vegetables he will eat, but he'd rather not. It's a pretty strong tasting vegetable, but I'm not sure that's the reason he doesn't like it. My mother-in-law is generally quite a good cook, but her weakness seems to be vegetables. Like many women of her...+ READ MORE	{ }
Try a New Vegetable: Romanesco Cauliflower 26 Oct 2008 IN FOOD & HEALTH \| COMMENTS This vegetable is such an enigma that it is called a romanesco cauliflower in the US and Canada, a romanesco broccoli and a romanesco cabbage in Germany.

Re-try a Vegetable: Brussels Sprouts 10 Oct 2008 IN FOOD & HEALTH \| COMMENTS Have you ever spent years thinking you don't like some particular food, only to accidentally have a bite of it and discover you actually love it?

Try a New Vegetable: Zucchini Blossoms 28 Jul 2008 IN FOOD & HEALTH \| COMMENTS I didn't really know what to do with them, and the result was pretty lame. I have persevered over the last couple of years, but my family always looks askance when I come home with them. This year I finally got it right, perhaps because I actually searched out a recipe to make them instead of just...+ READ MORE	{ }
Try a New Fruit: Saskatoon Berries 14 Jul 2008 IN FOOD & HEALTH \| COMMENTS Saskatoon berries have been around for a very long time indeed, and at one time were an important food for Native Americans. In Canada, the word saskatoon is derived from the Cree language, but I believe the fruit is more commonly known as serviceberry in the United States. It's appearance is...+ READ MORE	{ }
Try a New Vegetable: Peacock Kale 9 Jul 2008 IN FOOD & HEALTH \| COMMENTS I have developed a real fondness for kale, but my devotion is fairly recent. It was one of those vegetables that I'd always seen at the grocery store, but didn't buy because I didn't know what to do with it. I had read about how beneficial kale was, along with other dark green, leafy vegetables so I...+ READ MORE	{ }
Try a New Vegetable: Garlic Scapes 1 Jul 2008 IN FOOD & HEALTH \| COMMENTS I discovered garlic scapes a few years ago at the farmers' market near my cottage.It definitely has a garlic taste, but it is milder than clove garlic, and even milder than bulb garlic.I still had some bulb garlic left over from the previous week at the market, so a garlic extravaganza seemed in...+ READ MORE	{ }
Try a New Vegetable: Amaranth 24 Jun 2008 IN FOOD & HEALTH \| COMMENTS When my son, Hugh and I were wandering around the farmers' market last week I spied something I'd never seen before. I asked the farmer what the name of the vegetable was he and he replied "pig weed." I guess the look on my face said it all, because he added "amaranth." Hugh's hand shot out...+ READ MORE	{ }
