Farmshare Chronicles : Place Your Bets…

farmshare chronicles week 1 - lettuce, chard, kale, arugula, & snow peas

No, no, we’re not placing bets on horses or at a poker table in Vegas. We’re placing bets on how well I can keep up with this season’s farmshare deliveries. That’s right. The 2016 farmshare season has arrived! And… I’m already two weeks in, BUT so far nothing has made it to the compost pile. Will I survive or will I be crushed under a pile

Farmshare Chronicles: End of Summer Bucket List

Farmshare Chronicles | eatatkates.com - Summer is sneaking towards fall, so it's time to put together the End of Summer Bucket List to take advantage of the season! Plus, a farmshare update.

Here we are in the middle of August already! My facebook timeline is full of pictures of new shoes and backpacks and shiny-faced 1st day of school pictures. I looked out the window the other day and realized that, all too soon, fall will arrive, the trees will flame in to their fall plumage and then go bare. Then (sigh) it will be winter.  But,

Farmshare Chronicles: Cuke-Aid 2015

Cucumber-Herb Gin Cooler | eatatkates.com - When life gives you cucumbers, make cucumber-ade. Week 7 of the Farmshare Chronicles, where I work through a farmshare membership and try to stay sane.

No, there are no famous singers or bands at Cuke-Aid 2015 (Hi, Willie, Neil, & John!).  Just me, myself, and 12.7 pounds of cucumbers. That’s the total amount of cucumbers I’ve gotten this season. I know it’s 12.7 pounds of cucumbers because I am absolutely that person who weighs her farmshare produce. This way I can tell you the exact, insane amount of cucumbers that

Farmshare Chronicles: The Humbling (and Tzatziki)

Farmshare Chronicles | eatatkates.com -My adventures in using farmshare vegetables without losing my mind. This week: The Humbling.

On Sunday my sixth farmshare bag was delivered, which means I’m “just a bit outside” the proper posting schedule. So this week I’m cramming like it’s finals week and putting weeks 2-6 into one post. If you’ve ever had the opportunity to take part in a farmshare aka CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), you’re likely familiar with what I call The Humbling. Each year, just before deliveries

Farmshare Chronicles: Cloudy With a Chance of Greens

Farmshare Chronicles | eatatkates.com - My adventures in using farmshare vegetables without losing my mind. This week: attack of the green monster.

2015 – Week 1 Ah, summer. The weather warms up, the sun shines, the days get longer, and farmers all over start delivering their bounty.* Well, at least two of those are true right now. It’s been rainy, gray, and mostly cold in Chicagoland the last few weeks, so one of the few fun things (ok besides some Netflix binging) has been diving into a bag

About

This is all about me.
And food.
And cocktails.

You know... all that snobbish, foodie sort of stuff. I'll probably write a more through bio.

Eventually.

Maybe.

Corned Beef Meatloaf | eatatkates.com - Take that leftover corned beef and put it to use in something other than boring (although delicious) sandwich. Mix it up into meatloaf that'll keep St. Patrick's day going.

Corned Beef Meatloaf with Stout Glaze

Today is the day many of you have (or had) corned beef cooking in your slow cooker. Tonight you’ll have a lovely dinner with cabbage, potatoes, soda bread, and some Guinness to balance out the meal (I mean, duh.). It’s a darn good meal and one I make sure to plan for each year. After that, though, is when it’s time to get creative with the leftovers. You could make delicious sandwiches.
