Shake and Serve Italian Style Potato Salad: A Family Tradition

September 13, 2013

I know Summer’s about to screech to a halt, but up here we’ve had a stint of what my Dad used to call “State Fair weather”—hot, dry and dusty. Many gardens and farmer’s markets are full of nightshades, so I thought it would be a good time to introduce you to this easy potato salad […]

Rainbow Chard: Red Light, Green Light

January 16, 2013

The first Spring after I had been diagnosed with MS and was unable to teach at the university, I saw it as a long awaited opportunity to start a vegetable garden in my backyard. I don’t know why I was so sure of this: I could barely lift a shovel myself, let alone dig out […]
