    Where is my milk from?

    by emily • April 25, 2010 • Uncategorized • 0 Comments

    http://whereismymilkfrom.com/ I came across this little web gem tonight when looking up what to have for dinner! I’m going to miss my Straus Creamery products when I am back on the Eastern Coast, but I hope I can find some yummy local-ish milk to fill my dairy needs.

    Chives

    by Holly • April 22, 2010 • vegetarian, vinaigrette/marinade • 0 Comments

    Currently the only herb on my porch is a chive plant so I have been finding as many ways as possible to incorporate it into my cooking. When I hear chives the first thing the pops into mind is potato- mashed, baked, fried, any way you make it the flavor is always increased with chives. [...]

    Grilled Fish Tacos

    by Holly • April 19, 2010 • seafood, vegetarian, vinaigrette/marinade • 2 Comments

    A good fish taco is hard to come by, so i felt  a tad nervous taking on this new culinary venture.  Mixed with nervousness was also excitement because if it came out delicious I would no longer have to seek these out at restaurants because one could always be created at home. VBar and I [...]

    Third Season of Grilled Pizza

    by Holly • April 12, 2010 • Cheese, Jamaica Plain, wine • 3 Comments

    The first grilled pizza made it off the grate and for me that signafies the official beginning of the grilling season!  Crows are fond of grilling almost everything (veggie pouches, fish, shrimp, burgers, kabobs, mushroom caps, etc.) but what gets us most excited would have to be pizza.  What started off as a high anxiety [...]

    Ode to: Green Garlic

    by emily • April 8, 2010 • vegetarian • 2 Comments

    One of my new veggies is the illusive green garlic. I had my first experience with it last spring, and have been waiting all year for its return. It only exsists for a short period of time each year (and that time has passed in CA, but has not yet arrived on the east coast) [...]

    Belated Corned Beef

    by Holly • April 1, 2010 • Jamaica Plain, Meat/Poultry • 0 Comments

    I know St. Patty’s is in our past but the Corned Beef and Cabbage meal us JP Crows feasted on was definitely worth sharing.  Even if you’re not feeling this meal in its entirety, try just cooking the corned beef to use in morning hash or tasty sandwiches such as the reuben! Corned Beef and [...]
