Winter Fire Roasted Tomato Basil Soup With Prosciutto Topping Recipe

This is my winter version of Roasted Tomato and Basil Soup.  In the winter there are no fresh local tomatoes.  Buying tomatoes at the grocery store means they are coming from far away and I know they will not be as amazing as those fresh picked summer tomatoes.  Oh I how love those summer tomatoes.  [...]

Roasted Tomato and Basil Soup Recipe

Tomatoes seem to be an easy thing to grow.  I’m getting tons from my CSA and even a few from my father-in-law’s garden.  His actually tasted better.  I think next year I’ll give it a try and grow some.  I love the orange ones and I only received a few in my CSA.  But for [...]

Salad for a Locavore with Champagne Dijon Vinaigrette

I love when the farmers markets open and the local fresh vegetables start showing up.  Fresh lettuces and tasty little cucumbers.   Of course the herbs and vegetables you grow yourself are organic and as local as it gets.  They’re also priced right.  This salad was created by what was available at the farmers market, my [...]
