Quick Stove-top Ratatouille

Chef Remy At Your Service

Are you sick of my summer recipes yet? I just can't get over my love for fresh summer produce that I can pick right outside my door. This year we have tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, strawberries (someone help), and herbs. After the BIT of rain we've had, haha, my eggplants all of a sudden exploded and I was able to grab the first few of the ripe tomatoes and peppers as well. With zucchini from my CSA share at Three Part Harmony farm, I figured it was the perfect time to make my quick stove-top ratatouille. You can find the baked version here, if you're trying to impress someone. I've discovered that I like eggplant more when it's peeled - it gets caramelized and roasty and it's just delicious in this recipe. Defrost a few salmon filets and use up the rest of that pesto reserve for the perfect weeknight dinner.

Kohlrabi and Green Apple Slaw

Summer's Bounty Amplified

HEY FRANDS! If you live in the District and happen to source locally (cough, cough), you'll probably find yourself with an abundance of kohlrabi and cabbage. Especially now, after all of this gosh darn rain, these cruciferous edibles are growing like weeds. I'm a huge fan of the cruciferous fam, so wanted to create a recipe that really highlighted the flavors of these products, rather than hiding them. Behold my light and snappy kohlrabi and green apple slaw made completely out of my haul from the Three Part Harmony CSA share. It's bright, crisp and refreshing - using minimal ingredients that just get better the longer they marinate in the fridge.

Meatless Monday: Spring Quinoa Bowl

Veg Out

Spring has sprung in DC! I think? Hopefully we're finally in the clear from random snow storms, freezing weather and the fear of our gardens dying overnight. So, in honor of my favorite season, I whipped up this quick and easy meatless quinoa bowl utilizing farm fresh eggs from Liberty Delight Farms, herbs from Three Part Harmony Farm, and micro greens from Little Wild Things City Farm. Enjoy!

Radish Toast with Herb Butter

The Best thing ON Sliced Bread

I have basically had radishes on hand since March thanks to my wonderful CSA share from Three Part Harmony Farm. You may have read my pickling method for them, but they are also delicious in their natural state with softened, salted butter (what isn't?). Here's an quick and super inexpensive appetizer utilizing herbs and radishes you have on hand to serve for guests or to bring for a light lunch at work. I also tend to eat this for breakfast when I'm hangry! Keep reading to find out how to get your radish toast on.

Strawberry Rhubarb Galette

For the Lazy Baker

Strawberry rhubarb. Two of my favorite flavor friends. I first discovered the wonders of rhubarb at my best friend's house when I was in middle school. We had just spent a warm Summer day at the Spring Ridge pool and we came home to a rhubarb pie baked by her grandma! It was love at first bite. The aggressive tang from the rhubarb lends a perfect complement to the sweet strawberries. They were meant to be together. So, I combined my lovely seasonal strawberries and rhubarb from my Three Part Harmony Farm CSA share to make these purrrrfect hand pies and a rustic galette. I hope you enjoy!

Spring Quinoa Salad

Garden Grazing

It's time to get your garden on! All sorts of tasty things are sprouting around DC, especially now after so much rain. I have been creating a variety of fun dishes like salads and soups with my weekly CSA haul from Three Part Harmony Farm, located right here in the HANGRY DISTRICT! Below is my recipe for Spring Quinoa Salad, which is one of my favorite lunch time treats utilizing carrots, radishes, sorrel and chives from Three Part Harmony!
