New England Winter Farmer’s Market

By Shelby Graham
I miss Summer. I know I’m not the only one. But while others miss the beach and icy margaritas, I miss visiting the farmers’ market each week. Last year was the first time I signed up for a community-supported agriculture (CSA) program and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever

Farm-Girl Recipe

One of my favorite things about winter is getting to see more of my farmer friends (and farmer husband). As the fields are put to bed for the winter, there is more time to plan for the future, see friends and family, and create delicious meals.

Lemon Rosemary Shortbread

Written by Jessica Merrill
If you’re at all like me, you probably get a craving for a little something in the late afternoon, just a treat to see you through to the end of the day – and to dinner of course! I usually try to restrain myself to a cup of tea, but oh that

Cauliflower-Mushroom Soup

This soup was inspired by a haul from my CSA and truly rocks my world. It may not seem fancy or unusual, but the addition of a goat milk béchamel to thicken the soup imparts the most divine flavor that feels at once healthy and luxurious. I’ve been sharing this recipe with vegetarian (non-vegan) friends

Pulled Pork Party

We’re a smoking couple and, by that, I don’t mean that we smoke cigarettes or revel in our looks, I promise. By smoking, I mean that we spend much of the summer, and I do mean *much* of the summer, slowly cooking all sorts of local meats with wet wood in different types of vessels

Pomegranate Packs-a-Punch

This is a bit of a traditional holiday punch with an actual punch. I like to taste the actual liquor in my punch, don’t you? And the bright color is just divine, making it a worthy and special holiday or perhaps superbowl party option.
The base recipe was shared by a dear friend, and I modified

Dennis & Chloe Need Help

My pals Dennis and Chloe just relocated to New York City and all their stuff is still in London. Ugh. It’s made for a bit of a tough holiday cooking season.
Dennis asked for some help: “Okay – we have a cooking challenge for you! Our stuff still hasn’t arrived from London, so we have 1

Pear Pineapple Ginger Jam

I rarely buy jam nowadays. I am so impressed with what a little low heat, sugar and fruit can turn into in a matter of an hour or two. I made this jam with a pile of pears from my local farm. The vanilla extract was homemade. The ginger, pineapple and lemons came to my

Homemade Baileys

I realize homemade Baileys may be too rich or silly for some of you, but my friends live for a small nip at the holiday season. As guests left my home last year, I sent them packing with hugs and little glass bottles filled with well-chilled homemade Baileys, tied with brown ribbon. (This year, they’re
