What this blog is and what it isn't
This is a food blog with recipes and ideas for using the seasonal vegetables from your garden, friend's gardens and community supported agriculture shares (CSA). If you haven't checked out a CSA in your area, it is worth your time to check out what is available to you, and LOCAL HARVEST is a great place to start.
I am trying oh so hard to become a Forks over Knives type vegan, with no animal products of any kind and no added oil. I have given up meat, fish, dairy, eggs and most processed foods and am moving toward the goal of no oil. While you will find eggs, dairy and oil in my earlier recipes, the goal is not to use them anymore.
Some of my earlier recipes include dairy and eggs, but I am moving away from that, I am endeavoring to create delicious all vegan no fat added recipes.

Apple Butter
Not exactly a vegetable but, it does take advantage of seasonal offerings!
Makes approximately 4 cups finished product. You may can the butter, store in the fridge for up to two weeks, or it also freezes well.
Ingredients
15 smallish apples
1/2 Cup Demerara sugar
1 Tbsp. pumpkin pie spice (or 1 tsp. cincinnamon, 1/4 tsp. allspice, 1/4 tsp. nutmeg and 1/4 tsp. cloves)
1/4 cup water
Core and quarter apples. Place all ingredients in a large stock pot and cook over medium heat for at least 45 minutes. Apples should start to break down and become soft, continue cooking past this point until liquid is almost all reduced and apples are a medium-dark brown.
Place in batches and run through food processor until the butter is of the desired consistency.
If you are going to use a food mill, potato masher or an immersion blender instead of a food processor you will need to peel your apples. If using a food processor there is no need to peel.
