I started our summer squash late this year, but we’ve still ended up with bushels of it. Last year I posted about summer supper squash pancakes, and earlier this year I offered a can-less version of squash casserole. Of course, you can always sauté squash with onions, but why not go a little crazy and come up [...]

Tonight we had huge noodle bowls for dinner, relying on fresh produce and poultry from our back yard or Conway Locally Grown. These noodle bowls are packed with veggies, spice, and cooling coconut milk (which, alas, is not local at all). Unfortunately, after I planned the dish, I discovered that my neglected fresh ginger was [...]

We went from wondering if another ice age was on its way to believing in global warming again this week. The unseasonably warm weather cried out for a cooler dinner, and gigantic chives and Asian mustard that went from salad size to mandatory cooking overnight made me think of some of our favorite pseudo-Asian meals. [...]

Today I picked up another order from Conway Locally Grown, a wonderful variation on CSAs. My father is visiting us, so I went crazy and ordered all sorts of things I ordinarily wouldn’t have, including an emu egg. Yes, I’ll be blogging about that later this weekend or early next week. Among the things I [...]

Copyright Ozarkhomesteader 2009. Excerpts fall within fair use, as do links. Reprinting the whole thing doesn’t. One of the most common complaints I hear about Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is that you don’t get to choose what you get every month. Most CSAs allow you to pre-purchase a monthly pick-up, but growers determine exactly what [...]

Our basic rule for preparing and eating food in our home is that a significant portion of it be homegrown or local, with organic or free range from farther away as something we’ll accept for a much smaller proportion. I also usually follow the old Southern rule of “meat and three”: a small portion of [...]
