Summer Squash Frittata

My friend Lulu is one of the best cooks this side of, well, heaven. She’s got a knack for all things food related and can turn simple ingredients into masterpieces. More than the food she serves, though, her kitchen embodies the meaning of home. We’ve spent countless hours, with Littles spanning all ages, at barstools pulled up to her center…

Southern Green Beans & Potatoes with Bacon

I’ve been somewhat of a slacker in the kitchen lately. Piddling here and there, creating small bites, but lacking in the full meal department. Husband notices these things. It’s summer, I justify in my mind. I donwannacook. Ever feel that way? Lucky for me, and triple lucky for Husband our CSA basket arrived yesterday with the most gorgeous burst of…

Roasted Beets

Every Monday, during the most splendid season, a bounty of farm fresh goodies neatly packed in an old wooden basket awaits on my neighbor’s covered front porch.

Kohlrabi and Lentil Soup

The first year of our farm deliveries, I marveled at the mystery vegetable, scratched my head quizzically, and banished the purple—or sometimes green—bulb to the crisper in the dreaded ‘other fridge’. The fridge intended for well-planned overflow, but in reality a landing spot where unused condiments like the pickles…

How to care for wooden cutting boards

I’m doing a little spring cleaning around here. Drawers are getting emptied, closets straightened, and some day I’ll make headway in my mess of an office. But, today I’m taking care of my wooden cutting board. Truly the workhorse of the kitchen, it’s due for a little TLC. I have a Boos maple cutting board. I’ve had it since before…

Market Monday: Join a CSA

Remember my dream… The one where I live at Chez Panisse? I fantasize about homesteading some day, growing glorious produce, raising chickens and milking our own cow. But for now my bucolic little rêve is satisfied with weekly baskets of farm fresh produce from our CSA. CSA stands for Community Sustained (or Supported) Agriculture which is a fancy way of…

Meet Kristin

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

I'm on a mission to love my neighbors. I put an ordinary picnic table in my front yard, painted it turquoise and invited neighbors, friends, and even strangers to hang out and do life together at the Turquoise Table®.

I hope you'll join us!
