Like most of you, we enjoyed a relaxing 4th of July morning, beginning with a 2 mile fun, followed by homemade blueberry pancakes, and a 3 hour experience at our garden, harvesting veggies and picking bugs off the brassicas (ok maybe the garden part was a little more unique). Once we returned home, I finished whipping up this […]
Time for another thrilling episode of the Berger’s down on the farm! In case you missed our last post, click HERE to read all about the beginning of our gardening adventure on our friend’s property the past several months! The last few weeks our plants have really taken off! We continue to struggle with low nitrogen in the […]
When we tell people we are planting a big garden this year, we wonder whether the term “big” is truly comprehended. You see, we are just your typical suburban dwellers who happen to have a passion for eating fresh, real food and growing our own organic produce. Our humble abode sits on a tiny plot of land upon which, […]
Unless you’re from the Middle East or love Middle Eastern food, are a vegetarian, or self-proclaimed foodie, you may have never tasted the delightful “Falafel” before. Falafel is a middle-eastern food made from ground chickpeas, fava beans, herbs, and spices, that are fried and served in a pita or with a sauce. Recently, my husband and I went to a […]
Sometimes, you just need a little ice cream. I had a fairly severe dairy allergy growing up…not swelling airways severe, but unpleasant congestion and runny nose. And yes, this was before allergies were “in” or talked about. I would tell teachers or lunch-ladies I was allergic to dairy and receive nothing but blank stares. Just to […]
With the holiday season winding down, we’re approaching the inevitable point where the body craves a resolution to detox and “get healthy”. I don’t know about you, but Thanksgiving to New Years is a blur of food and parties that leave my body begging for the glorious end to it all, where I can just go back to […]
I’ve had this recipe posted for awhile, but I’ve made a few updates and wanted to highlight it again because I just love it! The flavors and combination of ingredients are so unique, and yet so simple and festive, you can’t help but love it as an addition to any holiday get together. If your family […]
I really love Mexican food. The flavors, the aromas, the simplicity of fresh ingredients coming together in a colorful display. I have many happy memories from my childhood of devouring homemade nachos, fajitas, or tacos and only buying lunch at school on the occasional “Mexican-haystack” lunch day. Still today, nothing hits the spot like a fiesta-style entrée! Unfortunately, the freshness […]
Last week at the market I received a bag of green, purple, and yellow string beans in my bushel of vegetable goodies…not to mention the green bean bushes in my garden have begun to recover from the critter damage and are now producing delicious green beans! Needless to say, it was time to make an awesome […]
I saw a similar snack for sale at a store and of course my thrifty instincts told me that I could easily make a comparable snack for much less money at home. It was effortless. It takes me longer to clean my food processor than make this snack (okay sight exaggeration but you get the point). I’m […]
