The (green)Market Watch: Brussels Sprouts
Ready to help the hesitant cook tackle an unpopular breed of wild cabbage into a savory main dish. Who doesn’t love having the full spread?

Pic of the Day: Meredith’s Bread – Mini Pies!

The (green)Market Watch: Kale
Bringing us the latest on our farmer’s market, Merritt tells us how to make even a hearty green like kale delicious. We often think of winter as being a season devoid of green.

The Solution to Apple Confusion
No matter what happens, whenever I arrive at the GreenMarket I am immediately taken aback by the countless amount of apples that appear in the stands. There are so many varieties and colors, and ALL of them look delicious! How am I supposed to choose? Yes, I know that there are little signs with [...]

Forgotten Foods: The Yum-Yum Pepper
For the past 3 weeks, I have walked through the Farmer’s Market, and every time this little dark purple-colored pepper has caught my eye. The little cardboard sign reads: Yum-yum Pepper. With a name like this, who could possibly resist? However, I tend to shy away from ingredients (especially vegetables) if I do not know [...]
