Carrot-Ginger Soup

By Woman With a Whisk on June 24, 2009 in Gluten-free, Recipes, Soups

Soup in June? Oh, yes. I’m usually freezing in the summer when it’s 100 degrees outside. My office cranks the A/C way up, so I’m often craving soups come lunchtime. There’s a cute little deli near my office that makes fantastic carrot-ginger soup, so I thought I would re-create theirs at home. The carrots I [...]

Egg White Omelette with Sorrel and Tomatoes

By Woman With a Whisk on June 19, 2009 in Breakfast, Gluten-free, Main Dishes, Recipes

Our Greenling box last week came with sorrel, which I never had before. The best way to describe it is kind of a green and kind of an herb (a gerb?). It looks much like a green but has a much sweeter and more pronounced flavor than any green that I’ve had. It’s most closely [...]

Mango Mini Cheesecakes

By Woman With a Whisk on June 18, 2009 in Desserts, Recipes

We’ve been getting mangoes in our Greenling box for a while now, and I hadn’t yet had the opportunity to pair it with ginger (I love pairing fruit with ginger, as evidenced by my cranberry-ginger sorbet). Plus, given that I have very recently found the inserts to my mini-cheesecake pan, I’ve had a hankering to [...]

Slow Cooker Goat “Bourguignon”

By Woman With a Whisk on June 12, 2009 in Gluten-free, Main Dishes, Recipes

A few weeks ago, I picked up some goat meat on a whim at the Pearl Brewery farmer’s market in San Antonio. I had been reading a lot about it, but found it in local grocery stores. I’m so glad I tried it; I am now a total convert and preach the marvels of goat [...]

Blackberry Ice Cream

By Woman With a Whisk on June 11, 2009 in Desserts, Gluten-free, Recipes

We’ve been getting blackberries in our Greenling box for a few weeks now, and while they’re perfect just out of the box (literally, when it’s still in the green box), I’ve been trying to think of new ways to use them in recipes. Since it’s been ice cream season (i.e., 90+ degree weather) here in [...]

Bruschetta

By Woman With a Whisk on June 9, 2009 in Appetizers & Snacks, Recipes, Vegan

Tomatoes have started to make their appearance here in South Texas, and I couldn’t be happier. To me, the first bruschetta of the season is what really kicks off the summer. I picked up the tomatoes and basil (I bought a pot of basil for $4. It’s a steal if I don’t kill it before [...]

Ginger Chicken Stir-Fry

By Woman With a Whisk on June 8, 2009 in Gluten-free, Main Dishes, Recipes

My delivery day is Thursday, so often times we get subs for certain items. This week, instead of green beans, we got peas in our Local Box. I wasn’t complaining, as I love adding peas to stir-frys. My husband’s favorite dish when we go to PF Changs is ginger chicken, so I wanted to make [...]

Oven Fried Green Tomatoes

By Woman With a Whisk on June 5, 2009 in Recipes, Side Dishes

Fried green tomatoes are the epitome of southern cuisine, right? I had actually never seen them before they came in our local box this week. They were a bright, light green color and were quite firm. Adapted from Bakingsheet Ingredients: 2 large green tomatoes 1/2 c. breadcrumbs (I used panko for some crunch.) 3/4 c. [...]

Turkey Meatball Kebobs with Tzatziki

By Woman With a Whisk on June 3, 2009 in Appetizers & Snacks, Main Dishes, Recipes

I like subbing ground turkey for ground beef in most recipes. Sometimes it doesn’t work out as well as I would have liked, and sometimes it works out even better than the beef version. In this recipe, I actually prefer using turkey. It’s not as heavy, making it great for summer. You could easily make [...]
