This is probably my favorite way to fix purple hull peas… not the healthiest, but the most favorable. 2 large smoked ham hocks, rinsed 2 pounds purple hull peas, rinsed 1 “candy” onion, sliced 1 whole okra pod ½ teaspoon ground black pepper ¼ teaspoon seasoned salt ¼ teaspoon garlic powder In a large stockpot, […]

Great side dish with chicken, beef or pork. We sometimes just have this with fresh sliced tomatoes and a cucumber & onion salad. Easy to prepare and so delicious! 4 slices bacon, chopped 1 candy onion, chopped 1 medium bell peppers, chopped (any color) 6-8 ears fresh corn, cut off the cob salt and […]
This is one of my personal favorite soups, I used to make homemade bread bowls to serve it in… but times have changed and we try really hard to avoid those extra carbs.(But, it’s absolutely delicious that way!) It’s the perfect meal to make when Kenny brings fresh cut broccoli and cauliflower inside. Hope you […]
This is a delicious, quick and easy salad to make for any meal. I sometimes add salmon or chicken for a dinner entrée. This makes plenty for Kenny and myself, but could be doubled easily to feed more. 1 Asian pear, thin sliced (can be peeled) 2 cups mixed baby greens ¼ cup crumbled feta […]
My latest infatuation is with the sweet flavor and hearty texture of kabocha squash, and when I saw these personal-sized beauties I knew I wanted to stuff them. But with what? I wanted to match kabocha’s big flavor, so I opted for salty, spiced sausage, creamy ricotta and earthy sage. Add in red onion for […]
Another “Guest Post” this week… One of our regular patrons, Sue, was talking to Kenny at the market this past Saturday and shared this recipe with him. She said it was delicious. I haven’t made it for him yet, but plan to one night soon. It does sound like something he would really like, especially […]
There comes a time every year when we start to get really excited about all the things we can roast and all the different hearty dinners we can make that warm us up and keep us feeling good…and this dish is no exception! Butternut squash has just the right touch of sweetness and basically goes great […]
While vacationing last week I discovered that the National Dish of Saint Maarten on the French side is Callaloo Soup (Caribbean Greens). It’s made with pork cubes, chicken stock, okra, hot pepper (habanero or Scotch Bonnet are typically used), onion, callaloo leaves (spinach like, so I used spinach) and other ingredients. This soup is really delicious […]
A good way to use up your “Basket of the Week”, or clean out the refrigerator. This recipe could easily be vegetarian by using vegetable broth in place of chicken broth. Makes a lot and freezes well. 1 T olive oil 1 c chopped onion (candy onion) 1 c sliced carrot 3/4 c sliced celery 3 […]
