Teach Our Children Well
Honey-Ginger Roasted Carrots
A while ago I was profiling a group of moms who met through a CSA and was intrigued by their stories of how the CSA experience had shaped the way their kids eat. One veggie the kids unanimously preferred (demanded) fresh from the far rather than from a grocery store bag was carrots. This recipe gilds the lily even further, by adding honey and ginger to the mix.

Whole Grain Pasta Challenge
Every time I’m at the market, it seems like I spot a new addition to the whole grain pasta category. I love pasta, and I love whole grains . . . but I admit to being less than impressed when the two have met in the past. Now that there are so many choices out there, though, I thought it was time to take a closer look. Here, we put eight to the test . . . then took the winner for a spin in a bowl of Spaghetti Carbonara.
Growing Beyond the Garden
Relatively speaking, our garden is small. In the past, we've designated two narrow beds in back for vegetables and managed to shoe-horn in a couple dozen vegetable plants. I'll admit to longing, though, for sprawling zucchini and melon vines, and beans that bloomed at a height my daughter could reach without having to sit on Daddy's shoulders. Now that I've learned to look beyond borders, I have them.
