This week the Hollygrove box contained a real treat...eggs! Farm fresh eggs are a true hidden treasure. They are so delicious. You'd think eggs are just eggs, right? But that's what the big egg corps what you to think. Don't let them egg brainwash you! Go get some fresh eggs and taste the magic. Not … Continue reading Roasted Broccoli Frittata

This week's box from Hollygrove Market featured fresh sugar snap peas and green onions. Snap peas! What a treat! I always have a bag of frozen organic peas in the freezer because I could live off of them, so I was delighted to see their cousin in the box this week. Delighted...can you tell I've … Continue reading Snap pea and Tofu Stir Fry

Hello Bug Bites! Long time, no see! I had a really busy semester this fall, and had trouble making time to shop and cook for Bug Bites. A little lesson in truly how hard it is to shop and cook locally allll the time. Additionally, I've had a little trouble motivating to get back into … Continue reading Lemony spaghetti with Swiss Chard

This week my Hollygrove box was packed with lots of leafy greens. Lucky for me, I love leafy greens! Jackpot! Phytonutrients? Yes please! Dietary fiber? Hell ya! Since it's getting chillier, I am very done with eating salads and other cold items, so I decided I'd make soup with these beauties. Usually green minestrone is … Continue reading Green Minestrone

I know you're probably like those are the wee littlest butternut squash I've ever seen, but with veggies size is not everything! Vegetables have been bred to be bigger, but not … Continue reading Farmer’s Pie

After my last recipe I still had some components of my Hollygrove box left over, including some beautiful candy cane beets. It was raining yesterday, so I thought soup sounded good, but I knew the candy cane beets wouldn't give the same beautiful color that purple beets do in traditional Borscht. But then I thought, … Continue reading Vegetarian Borscht

Confession: it was also a really tasty lunch when I ate them all to myself. Here's what was in my Hollygrove farm box today. I had … Continue reading All Veggie Taquitos

Salutations earthlings! Welcome to my 27th Bug Bites post! This week I got potatoes in the Hollygrove produce box and decided to be a little ambitious and make gnocchi. The stars of this dish are still the more colorful and exciting veggies, fresh scallions and pattypan squash, but the gnocchi adds a rich and indulgent … Continue reading Roasted Squash with crispy gnocchi and charred scallion sauce

However, now I am back in New Orleans, and excited to get back to my routine and beloved Hollygrove Market and Farm. This week's box included … Continue reading Summer Squash Ratatouille

So confession. When I was younger I LOVED Big Macs. I was probably the only first grader who could finish a whole one alone. Anyone who's read this blog probably knows that these days I wouldn't even go near one, but I think the combination of a burger with special sauce, onions, pickles and lettuce … Continue reading The Bug Mac
