Most of my recipes are fast and feature local ingredients. You’ll also find nearly all the recipes from Simply in Season.
On Sundays I normally participate in the Sunday Supper blogging event where a number of bloggers post recipes on a specific theme. It’s a lot of fun and a great way to find new recipes.

I know, I’m not usually a fan of making leftovers into something else. But I had a free range chicken just begging to be used as DH and I barely put a dent in it the other day. So I turned to More-With-Less Cookbook (World Community Cookbook) and found a recipe that would put it …
I thawed out a chicken from my local farmer in anticipation of this week's Dark Days Challenge meal. DH wanted to try brining it since he claims my crock pot version turns out too dry. "Store chickens have all that stuff injected in it," he said, "so I want to experiment and see if I can get a free range chicken more moist."
It was a little weird buying brussels sprouts already off the stem, one row over from asparagus in December. The tag told me it was from California; I had my doubts, but really wanted sprouts and since I've been traveling haven't had a chance to get to the indoor winter farmer's market. So California sprouts it was.
Once again I am participating in the Dark Days Challenge over at (not so) Urban Hennery. I hope to do better than last year, as I'm encouraged by the increasing number of sources that offer local produce in the winter around here.
This recipe is based on a whole bunch that I found online. I had to bring a dish to pass and there was a large bag of quinoa from Costco in my pantry just begging to be used; so I searched for various recipes and cobbled together something based on what sounded good to me.
