Summer Tacos

I prefer my food in the summer to be fresh and cooling, like salads, tomato sandwiches, and TACOS! Tacos in my house include lots of garden-fresh veggies like cabbage, corn, carrots, scallions, cilantro, tomatoes… Mmmm. I like to combine my veggies into one big salad or ‘slaw, and then keep it in the fridge for […]

Perfect French Fries

Ah, the potato. At first glance it is a lowly root vegetable, but don’t let it fool you: It is capable of great tastiness. Take, for example, mashed potatoes, garlic smashed potatoes, oven roasted potatoes, cream of potato soup, baked potatoes, home fries, and french fries. The long list of things that can be done […]

Rutabagas in Root Vegetable Linguine

I come from a family that loves rutabagas. Maybe its the Scandinavian in us, but simply mashing the cooked root with some butter and salt makes us all very happy. But did you know there are many creative things to do with these plain-looking vegetables? Try any one of these, or use them in root […]

Ginger-Brown Sugar Carrots

I cooked a favorite chicken dish for dinner the other night, and wanted a zesty vegetable to go alongside it. There, on the spot, I made up this one: butter-ginger-brown sugar carrots. Here’s how: 4 carrots, peeled and sliced into rounds 1 Tablespoon butter 1/2-inch piece of ginger, peeled 1-2 Tablespoons brown sugar (to taste) […]

Radish Recipes

I walked into a friend’s kitchen for a potluck dinner recently and on the table was a beautiful plate of fresh radishes (from 1000 Stone Farm, of course!), with their brilliant red bulbs grouped together and their long luscious green tops fanned out around them. That night, we dipped them in some nearby Thai peanut […]

Maple Glazed Carrots

Last week we were graced with an abundance of carrots in our Winter CSA shares: earthy and sweet. Carrots are an often overlooked vegetable. But what would a hearty beef stew or a creamy, yet biting, coleslaw be without them? They’re excellent shaved into salads and cut into thick coins for soups. Carrots add an […]

Roasted Beet Salad

Roasting fall vegetables brings out their sweetness, and it’s my favorite way to prepare beets. Once roasted, these beets are great on their own, tossed in a vinaigrette, or sparkling like jewels in your favorite green salad. They can also adorn pizzas or make amazing additions to frittatas as well. On weekend mornings, we shred […]

Brussels Sprouts: Lemon-Garlic Saute

At 1,000 Stone Farm, we love eating in season. And Fall is one of my favorite seasons to eat my way through! The nutty squashes baked with plenty of butter, hearty greens braised alongside a favorite main dish, sweet carrots, and creamy potatoes are just a few of my favorites. But perhaps my all-time favorite […]
