Looking for fall-themed meatless Monday recipes? I put this together using late carrots and kale from the winter garden. The recipe uses some ingredients that cannot be found in our small town, which I order online. For TVP, nutritional yeast, and flax seed meal, my favorite brand is Bob’s Red Mill, available through Amazon or bobsredmill.com. What…
I still have fresh pickings from the garden, including reliable summer squash, tomatoes and chilies. Fall treats are also coming in, including parsnips, potatoes, leeks, carrots, cabbage, and fresh greens. If you are on veggie overload, here are some ideas: Fall Soup 2 onion or leeks, chopped 1 cup carrots, chopped ½ cabbage, sliced thin…
The sirens are wailing again….no doubt another fire has started. The weather is still so hot and dry. Temps in the 90s don’t seem all that high….but in June, in Wyoming is another matter. Tomorrow will be in the 90s again, with very low humidity. So, I am inside enjoying what I can from the…

Before I left for California this morning, I packed up a bunch of frozen garden produce that is still in the freezer. I am camping along the way so can easily cook. In fact, I am so spoiled now from always having quality food that I would rather cook than stop at a restaurant (unless…
Today I harvested parsnips, second-year onions, kale, spinach and cilantro. I cooked them up with store-bought potatoes and a frozen herb cube. Before devouring, I drizzled with balsamic vinegar and sprinkled with parmeasan.
