With all that is going on these days, both in the larger world and in my personal and family life, I can always count on cooking to bring some peace to my heart. But keeping track of recipes has always been a challenge. The latest method had been an expanding number of three-ring binders. But NOW, I think I have the permanent solution! :)

Green tomato crumble, and baba ganoush with cucumber and crackers. The tomatoes, eggplant, and cucumber saved from the frost! And the crackers are the ones I make with sourdough discard, ww flour, olive oil, and a touch of salt.

Tasty salad turnips from Blaisdell Hill Farm via the Warner Area Farmer's Market! Don't toss the greens - they are yummy, too! And, always be sure to separate the greens from any root veggies when you get home so both the greens and veggies stay fresh longer. :)

Work has been crazy, never mind the state of the world, so when I was feeling overwhelmed by having to bring a potluck appetizer or dessert to an event, I was just...Then, Steve suggests Rice Krispie treats. Perfect! So I just made them, but being me, I had to poke around the internet and came up with a concoction using extra butter and browning it, adding some vanilla, toasting the krispies (Market Basket since that is all they had and so much less expensive!) being sure to melt the marshmallows slowly, and gently stirring in an extra cup of marshmallows right before mixing in the krispies. I greased the pan with butter and a bit of olive oil (EVO, of course) and was careful not to press it all in too densely, then topped things off with a touch of Maldon salt. I tasted a bit and they are good!

The current version still has a few items I need to update, but the final/improved version will be uploaded soon! I also need to move wendysfoodblog.com from where it is currently hosted before I FINALLY, more than two years later, get around to marketing this cookbook.THEN I will write one based on the recipes I created for the cooking demos I presented at Wakefield Farmers Market. Wish me luck! :)
