http://detroitcitychick.blogspot.com/2011/11/souper-saturday.html
Saturday, November 12, 2011. This time of year, and as the weather turns colder, we make and eat soup at least once or twice a week. One of our favorite soups is Italian Bean and Squash Soup from Moosewood Restaurant's New Classics. You can use just about any type of winter squash and any type of beans. 1 T Olive Oil. 3 1/2 cups finely chopped onions. 6 large cloves of garlic, minced. 1 celery stalk with some leaves, finely chopped. 1 3/4 cups crushed tomatoes with juice (15 oz. can). 1 t dried oregano.

Detroit City Chick: The Torch has Officially Been Passed (My first attempt at Bittlewa!)
http://detroitcitychick.blogspot.com/2011/12/torch-has-officially-been-passed-my.html
Friday, December 30, 2011. The Torch has Officially Been Passed (My first attempt at Bittlewa! One of the traditions in my family around Christmas is making bittlewa, a Lebanese/ Arab pastry made with phyllo dough, walnuts and syrup. Many people know baklava, the Greek version, which is similar except we don't use honey and include orange blossom water in the syrup. I definitely do not want to lose this family tradition. So, here goes! Brush melted butter on the bottom of the pan, then begin laying the d...

Detroit City Chick: Detroit Does Have Grocery Stores, BUT
http://detroitcitychick.blogspot.com/2011/11/detroit-does-have-grocery-stores-but.html
Saturday, November 5, 2011. Detroit Does Have Grocery Stores, BUT. There is an ongoing debate about food in the City of Detroit. Sometimes called a food desert, other times called a food swamp, the city has no national chains with stores in the City. We also heard from residents who admitted that they rarely go in their neighborhood grocery store, preferring to shop outside the city. The real and perceived reasons: quality, price and customer service. The Detroit Food Policy Council, through its Healthy ...

Detroit City Chick: September 2010

Wednesday, September 15, 2010. Late Summer Harvest Pasta Recipe. Sweet onions. I grew Alisa Craig's this year after getting them in our Maple Creek Farm CSA box in the past. They are sweet and are meant to be eaten right away. For storage, I grew Copra's and Red Spanish. I still had some left in March from the summer before. Small yellow fruits with a papery skin that you remove before eating. This is a new item for us. They are sweet with the consistency of a tomato. 1 onion, chopped. About 4 lbs. t...

Tuesday, August 10, 2010. We Bought A Cow! And be sure to stop by their stall at Eastern Market in Shed Three. This past week, I made a soft cheese with our milk. This is a cheese that my mom (and Situe and other members of our family) made on a regular basis when I was a child. It is unbelievably simple and even more delicious with raw milk. Here is how it is made:. We enjoy our cheese with calamata olives and pita bread. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The Next American Revolution by Grace Lee Boggs. Detro...
