Collard Greens with a Roasted Red Pepper Sauce
This recipe was originally inspired by Saveur. I came home from a long day and wanted a no-fuss side dish with my dinner, something healthy but filling. When I came across a recipe for Collard Greens and Chile-Garlic sauce, I knew I wanted to give it a go. I haven’t often seen collard greens paired…
Blueberry & Asparagus Salad
My fiancé has a major addiction to blueberries and will honestly eat them until he’s sick. So, naturally, when we were at the market and he saw a giant box on sale, he. had. to. have. them. LIKE NOW. So now we have a huge box of blueberries that no normal person can eat. When…
Mugwort and Spinach Soup
This week, we received mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) in our CSA bag and honestly, I’m so thankful a few people on the NDO team pointed me in the direction of Martha Stewart’s Mugwort Soup recipe because I had no idea what to do with this green. It has a really aromatic smell and I was definitely…
Carrot Ginger Soup
Written By: Nina Goffi If you have a habit of stock piling your CSA carrots, this recipe is for you!

Warm Red Cabbage with Roasted Chickpea Salad

Roasted Golden Beets with Buttered Ramps
My dad’s side of the family is from West Virginia and I remember going down to see them in the early spring and they always, always had ramps. My great aunt would do schnitzel with ramps and potatoes and it was an amazing meal. I know that not everyone likes them, but I love them…
Black Radishes with Truffle Oil and Caramelized Onions
I recently moved and to celebrate the last night in our old neighborhood, we went out to eat at a fancy restaurant where my fiancé and I celebrated our second anniversary last year. One of the small plates that we ordered was black radishes with truffle oil and cheddar cheese. This dish was probably one…
Baby Bok Choy with Ginger and Fermented Garlic
Ok, I will admit that I am the worst when it comes to remembering all my greens. And honestly after a week and a half, they usually start getting kiiiiiinda grody. So, I had some less-than-ideal looking baby bok choy in my fridge. Yes, some of the leaves had started turning yellow and yes, some of the stalks…
