Mediterranean Recipes

As part of our winter delivery, we always receive an abundance of potatoes and leeks. Leeks are a member of the allium family, or a relative of garlic and onions. They've got a silky, mild flavor and can be used in stir-frys, scrambles, and just about anywhere you'd use an onion. 

After the rich, heavy meals of holiday season, this butternut squash kale soup is exactly the reset your body's asking for. Tuscan-inspired and built on the trio of butternut squash, lacinato kale, and cannellini beans, it's nourishing without being heavy — sweet from the squash, earthy from the kale and herbs, and gently warming from ginger, paprika, and red pepper flakes. It supports immunity, helps digestion, clears your sinuses on a cold morning, and delivers serious plant-based protein from the beans and kale. Finished with a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a shower of Parmigiano Reggiano (or skip the cheese for a fully vegan butternut squash soup), this is the bowl that actually makes you feel better.

Maybe it’s because I was born in Louisiana (although Shreveport is hardly cajun country), maybe it’s because in the belly of winter I’m just looking for reason to celebrate, or maybe, most likely, I love a holiday so closely connected to food that …

Ah, one pan. Music to my ears. It seems I have made it my life’s mission to show people that cooking healthfully is not some huge, unattainable chore. I love finding and creating recipes that come together quickly, have easy-to-find ingredients, and don’t use every dish in the house to make. So, I was intrigued …

As the temperature drops and there's even a hint of snow in the forecast this week, we are fully embracing soup season!! Make this delicious, comforting Spinach White Bean Soup with ingredients you probably already have on hand. Ready in about 30 minutes, this is a frequent staple in our home during the cold weather months.  

As many of you know, our Healthy Harvest family gets 90% of our groceries from local farmer’s markets, which means we have learned to eat what's in season. Sometimes that means learning to work with ingredients I haven't always been familiar with. Before working markets, I only rarely cooked eggplant, but as summer comes to an end and I can't even look at summer squash anymore, I decided to research some new recipes to add to our repertoire.

Unless it’s a soup or stew, meals in our house rarely take more than 30 minutes. While I think everyone deserves delicious, wholesome, homemade meals and I also think cooking can be a relaxing creative endeavor rather than a chore, it doesn’t mean I want to spend all night in the kitchen.
