Don't get cheap on me here; buy the best olive oil that you can afford and use fresh chopped tomatoes. You get extra points if you use heirlooms. ]]> http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/8018/aglio-e-olio-fried-spaghetti-with-garlic-and-oil Fri, 15 Jan 2010 14:30:00 -0500 http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/7962/savory-spanakopita http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/7962/savory-spanakopita Posted by cookinwithherbs
This version of spanakopita is packed full of flavor—it is delicious—as well as being good for you. ]]> http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/7962/savory-spanakopita Fri, 08 Jan 2010 16:46:46 -0500 http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/7927/pasta-e-fagioli http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/7927/pasta-e-fagioli Posted by cookinwithherbs
This easy, wonderfully hearty peasant soup is perfect for a chilly winter day. ]]> http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/7927/pasta-e-fagioli Mon, 14 Dec 2009 14:20:15 -0500 http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/7778/homemade-applesauce http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/7778/homemade-applesauce Posted by cookinwithherbs
My family loves homemade applesauce. Sometimes I use a combination of apples--and even add a few pears--other times I use all of one type of apple. Although any apple can make a good sauce, one of... ]]> http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/7778/homemade-applesauce Tue, 01 Dec 2009 11:50:00 -0500 http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/7678/golden-loaf-cake http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/7678/golden-loaf-cake Posted by cookinwithherbs
This cake has a tender crumb, is not as heavy as the usual pumpkin bread, even though it uses part whole-wheat flour and it slices beautifully. ]]> http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/7678/golden-loaf-cake Tue, 24 Nov 2009 11:15:00 -0500 http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/7630/oven-roasted-winter-squash-with-garlic-and-sage http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/7630/oven-roasted-winter-squash-with-garlic-and-sage Posted by cookinwithherbs
Use whichever winter squash you prefer. Some of my favorites are Sweet Dumpling, Delicata, Blue Hubbard, Carnival, acorn, and butternut; I usually use two different types for this dish. This is so simple and oh-so-good. ]]> http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/7630/oven-roasted-winter-squash-with-garlic-and-sage Sun, 15 Nov 2009 10:35:00 -0500 http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/7629/winter-squash-soup-with-black-beans-and-corn http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/7629/winter-squash-soup-with-black-beans-and-corn Posted by cookinwithherbs
This Southwestern-style soup features the native trio of squash, beans, and corn; their flavors having been combined for centuries. This soup is quick to assemble once the squash or pumpkin has been prepared. It can be made ahead; it is one of those soups that tastes even better the next day. If you don't like cilantro, substitute Italian flat-leaved parsley and/or basil. ]]> http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/7629/winter-squash-soup-with-black-beans-and-corn Fri, 16 Oct 2009 15:35:00 -0400 http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/7425/skillet-cornbread http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/7425/skillet-cornbread Posted by cookinwithherbs
This savory cornbread is hearty and rich and cake-like and full of flavor. Sometimes I add a tablespoon or two of fresh chopped sage, oregano or marjoram. This is a great accompaniment to baked beans and coleslaw. ]]> http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/7425/skillet-cornbread Fri, 09 Oct 2009 05:10:00 -0400 http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/7237/whole-pickled-peppers http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/7237/whole-pickled-peppers Posted by cookinwithherbs
I have made good pickled peppers from Santa Fe Grande, Hungarian hot, red hot cherry, jalapeno, serrano and habanero chiles. Makes about 6 pints.

I have been making this spray for more than 20 years--I don't remember where the idea came from--perhaps an old issue of Organic Gardening or Mother Earth News. I do know that the recipe works. It is... ]]> http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/7076/garlic-and-chile-insecticidal-soap-spray Mon, 24 Aug 2009 14:13:17 -0400 http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/6692/exotic-ginger-syrup-with-lemon-herbs-and-vanilla-bean http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/6692/exotic-ginger-syrup-with-lemon-herbs-and-vanilla-bean Posted by cookinwithherbs
This syrup is very good for a sore throat, cold, or flu. It is delicious stirred into tea, lemonade, or other juices to make a fruit punch, tossed with fruit salad, and drizzled over pancakes, waffles, or ice cream. It also makes an exceptional homemade ginger ale. ]]> http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/6692/exotic-ginger-syrup-with-lemon-herbs-and-vanilla-bean Fri, 21 Aug 2009 01:15:00 -0400 http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/6652/lemon-verbena-cookies http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/6652/lemon-verbena-cookies Posted by DanielleGardenGirl

When tomatoes are ripe and in season this simple, savory soup is the perfect way to begin a meal, or to enjoy for lunch, perhaps with some bread and cheese. This is not a ho-hum, cold, watery soup; it is packed full of flavor. ]]> http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/6626/garden-gazpacho Fri, 14 Aug 2009 15:30:00 -0400 http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/6593/roasted-chile-and-herb-sauce http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/6593/roasted-chile-and-herb-sauce Posted by cookinwithherbs
This is a recipe using roasted chiles in a delicious South-of-the-Border green herb sauce. It has similarities to both pipián verde from Mexico and pesto from Italy, with a Southwestern touch. It is delicious on pasta, potatoes, squash, fresh sliced tomatoes, or with grilled chicken and fish, on sandwiches and wraps. ]]> http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/6593/roasted-chile-and-herb-sauce Tue, 14 Jul 2009 16:36:15 -0400 http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/6194/basic-pesto-recipe http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/6194/basic-pesto-recipe Posted by cookinwithherbs
Many of us use a food processor to make pesto since it's quick and easy. But for centuries, Italians have made pesto using a mortar and pestle. Pesto prepared in this manner is by far the best, as it... ]]> http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/6194/basic-pesto-recipe Fri, 12 Jun 2009 01:00:00 -0400 http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/5828/egg-and-cheese-puff-with-greens http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/5828/egg-and-cheese-puff-with-greens Posted by cookinwithherbs
A great brunch dish, or quick lunch or supper, this recipe is easily put together and can actually be prepared a few hours ahead of time and refrigerated. Remove from the fridge about 30 minutes before baking. The ingredients are fairly versatile. Use the best greens that you have in season; some other good choices are: spinach, baby chard, dandelion leaves, arugula, watercress, nettles (pick with gloves!), basil, dill, cilantro, etc. ]]> http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/5828/egg-and-cheese-puff-with-greens Sat, 16 May 2009 20:51:09 -0400 http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/5376/how-to-make-fruit-water http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/5376/how-to-make-fruit-water Posted by ChrisMcLaughlin
This party drink isn't your average glass of water. It's water wearing a prom dress. Serving fruit water at your next party or barbecue is refreshing, healthy, and elegant. ]]> http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/5376/how-to-make-fruit-water Thu, 19 Mar 2009 10:55:00 -0400 http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/4503/chervil-butter http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/4503/chervil-butter Posted by KitchenGardenerMag
Use this herb butter to finish off a dish, but don’t try to cook with it or you’ll lose the delicate flavor of the chervil. ]]> http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/4503/chervil-butter Thu, 19 Mar 2009 10:48:19 -0400 http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/4502/new-potatoes-with-chervil-vinaigrette http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/4502/new-potatoes-with-chervil-vinaigrette Posted by KitchenGardenerMag
New potatoes are potatoes that are harvested early, when they are small and especially delicious. Try them in this simple recipe for a tasty side dish. ]]> http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/4502/new-potatoes-with-chervil-vinaigrette
