Baked Polenta with Oven-Roasted Tomatoes and Cheese

Baked Polenta with Oven-Roasted Tomatoes and Cheese by Eve Fox

I ended up with a good amount of leftover polenta from this divine dinner. After it sat in the fridge for a few days, inspiration struck and I set about breathing new life into the cold mass of gruel using a few ingredients I had in the freezer and fridge.I got out a baking dish, greased it, turned the polenta out into it and patted…

Roasted Fingerling Potatoes With Garden Herbs & Garlic by Eve Fox

The weather has been lovely of late -- warm, sunny days with cool breezes and the clearest blue skies. These are the kind of days that just make you feel happy no matter what else is going on. And it seems to have the same effect on plants, judging by the herbs in our little garden which are sending out new leaves and flowers like it…

Red Kuri Squash with Indian Spices

Red Kuri Squash with Indian Spices by Eve Fox

We received a big, beautiful red kuri squash in our CSA share last week. Kuris have sweet meat and a mild, slightly nutty flavor.

Red Cabbage, Lime, Cilantro & Honey Slaw by Eve Fox

I created this delicious little salad/slaw about a month ago and have since made it a number of times.Not only is it super quick and easy, it's also delicious - tangy, sweet, and crunchy. It's remarkable how the lime juice and the cilantro work together to make cabbage, the queen of winter vegetables, taste like summer. The…

Creamy Coleslaw by Eve Fox

It would be terribly unpatriotic not to have coleslaw at a Fourth of July barbecue. And since I am a true American and I have also been looking for an excuse to use this completely adorable little ceramic cabbage bowl my mom gave me for months now, I made some.Thanks to my awesome hand-held mandoline by Kyocera (don't they make cell…

Perfect Popovers

Perfect Popovers by Eve Fox

With their delightfully browned, over-the-top poofs, popovers are something you might expect to see on one of those long, deliciously filled tables in the Hogwarts dining hall.I think of popovers as the Rice Krispie treats of savory baking - they taste and look like they took hours of careful work but are surprisingly easy to make.…

Spicy-Sweet Moroccan Chickpea Spread With Blood Orange

Spicy-Sweet Moroccan Chickpea Spread With Blood Orange by Eve Fox

But my son was born a few months later and everything kind of went to hell what with adjusting to becoming a mom and the general sleeplessness of life with an infant so it's taken me a little while more than two years to get around to it...

Red Cabbage, Carrot, Cilantro Slaw (With An Asian Slant) by Eve Fox

I had half a head of red cabbage and a ton of fresh cilantro left over after making shrimp tacos last week so I decided to make something with them. My first thought was this divine little slaw I made up last winter but when I went in to grab the veggies, I noticed not one, but two bags of organic carrots cooling their heels in the…
