Yesterday was my birthday. I celebrated by hanging out with my two favorite boys (one little, one big) and doing nothing special, in particular. We ran some errands and picked up salmon to grill...
I am pretty sure someone messed with my calendar this summer and sucked out all the restful, lazy, classic summer moments one should have. Instead, it seems to be filled with unending travel, unb...

I attended a fun event last week at my local Whole Foods. I, along with two other local bloggers, Nikki Gardner of Art & Lemons and Mary Nelen of The Valley Locavore received a special tour...
My new kitchen is lovely. My camera is broken and my iphone photos aren't doing any justice to the space, so I've borrowed some images from So Happy Home . I can tell you that a visually clean, o...
Wow. Things are getting pretty stressful here at Chez Kutcher. We've had a few days of our plumber no-showing to a job that was supposed to be done last Wednesday, unforeseen expenses that are ...

The time has finally come to update our kitchen. We've been without our broke-down, mashed-up, eclectic kitchen for officially two days, but we've not been able to use it for almost a week; The...

This afternoon, I sat in front of the open fridge after picking up our CSA share crying and mumbling something about being a terrible mother. I'm pretty sure it stemmed from not being able to fi...

Let me preface this post by saying you might find the following salad recipe unusual. I had been trying to think up a quick kale recipe that I could make when the weather was hot. I wanted som...
It's just about the middle of October and I've made apple crisp at least three times this season. It's a great dessert to prepare a few hours ahead and then pop into the oven while you sit down...

These past five months for me have flown by in a whirlwind of physical and psychological healing and growth (well, shrinkage, if I take into account losing that baby weight!) It's been wonderf...

Ok, ok. It's been a while since my last post about ANYTHING. Here's a little re-cap of what's been going on, CSA/garden/tips/adventure-wise...NOTHING. My garden is a catastrophe. I feel like I ju...
We just returned from a lovely week on Nantucket. I cannot say it was relaxing in the pre-baby sense, but it was a great adventure filled with lots of beach-lounging, quality time with one of ...

I'd take my mushroom and garlic scape pesto recipe , and I'd make fresh ravioli. I'd then cook them and toss them with my garlic scape pesto and serve them over a bed of sauteed spinach. Just sa...
My sister and I made kale chips this weekend and we were not impressed. We did a little online research and came up with what we thought was a fool-proof recipe: kale, dressed with a drizzle of o...
A week ago, I decided I'd like to make some Tebbouleh. We picked up a bunch of mint and flat leaf parsley from the grocery store, and my plan was to make enough salad to last me for the week a...

We walked with our new baby to the farm on Friday for the first share pick up of the season. I almost let David go by himself, as I was feeling pretty tired, but I'm so glad I tagged along. How ...

After a bit of discussion over what our Red Dinner 2010 should consist of (Rack of lamb with a fruit glaze? Salmon and citrus salsa? Red Quinoa?), David and I agreed that we really wanted a s...

We're not really into Valentine's Day. On occasion, we'll buy gifts for each other, but it's not a yearly 'must do' and we don't go out to fancy dinners, either; It's just too cliche for us. Don'...
I just finished reading the Ribollita Recipe on 101 Cookbooks , that was posted in early January of this year. The author, Heidi Swanson, writes about opening her freezer, looking in, and wincing...
I made it to the first annual Northampton Winter Fare Farmer's Market this past weekend. Unfortunately for me, I wasn't able to get to there until close to the end of the event, and almost all of...

So, we decided to test out the meat CSA that the Austin Brothers farm offers (I mentioned it in the Summer Wind Down post.) We went halvsies with our friends who share our veggie CSA with us, an...
We love butternut squash. I've tried multiple butternut squash soup recipes, some sweet, some spicy, and this version is my favorite. I've been making this version for a while, and it is a sou...
